Another Scrap Whispers Challenge

This week's Scrap Whispers Challenge is a recipe challenge. Each of the Design Team members chose one thing we had to includ on our pages. The list was: The word together, themed stickers, the colors blue and tan, and a theme of family.

Here's my layout. Together through thick and thin, that's what family is all about!

Everything is Bo Bunny except journaling tag is YMBD and letter stickers are American Crafts.

Scrap Whispers Round 1

I created a few layouts for the week 1 challenge at Scrap Whispers.

Here is some info about scrap whispers from their site:

What is Scrap Whispers?

Remember that game you used to play as a kid? Where you secretly whisper a phrase to the next person sat in a circle, who then whispers it to the next person and so on? The last person announces the phrase out loud and this usually results in a completely different phrase than the one you started off with?! Well, thats basically how scrap whispers works too. Only with scrapbook layouts instead of a phrase!

Each week there is also an individual challenge. This week's challenge was to create a page inspired in some way by Nancy Drew. Here are my entries:

PP is GCD Studio, and Jenni Bowlin. Letters are American Crafts, Creating Keepsakes and The Paper Studio. Journaling stamp is Studio g, ink is Versamark, frame rub-ons are Basic Grey.

CS is The Paper Studio, pp is Ki Memories and Target, letters are American Crafts.

Thanks for looking!

SYTYCS deadline extended!

Thanks to all of you who are checking in to see if it's time to vote. The deadline has been extended due to technical difficulties. Voting for round 2 will not start on Friday, Oct. 16th.

Ummm... What??

Check out these signs I spotted recently:


This one was at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, inside the primate house. Notice the last bullet point. Please show our primates respect by refraining from staring at them. What???? It's a ZOO. Isn't that why you go to a zoo? LOL.

Spotted recently at a local gas station. Ummm... isn't gas supposed to be CHEAPER after a rebate?

Update for all of us!

Hello, everyone! We arrived home last night from a few days away visiting Grandma and Grandpa (my parents). We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and had a great time. The kids had lots of fun visiting their grandparents and having them all to themselves. I enjoyed the visit also, and I was blessed that my parents braved a night alone with the kids so I could go out with my friend Heather. We had a blast eating dinner, shopping, and browsing Barnes and Noble.

Here are a few pics from the big trip:

Thanks to all of your votes, I made it through round 1 of so You Think You Can Scrap! Thank you all for voting! The Round 2 poll will posted this weekend, I will pop back in and post a link ASAP. This week's challenge is making a LO using the colors of your favorite ice cream. Thats a bit tough for me, since anything chocolate is my favorite, so I guess I'll be busy with the browns this afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by!
