Just Chillin'

Hi people, It's National Scrapbook Day and I am celebrating at a Scrapbook retreat with my fun loving and crafty friends.  I just finished my first layout of the day.

I am following the May challenge for Scrap Our Stash at: http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/p/current-challenges.html

The challenge was to create a layout and include an item from your stash for each letter in the word E-M-B-O-S-S.

I used E (enamel dots), M (mist on green banner, it was white), B (banners), O (owl), S (striped paper), S (stickles on just chillin')

I love combining challenges so I also utilized the following sketch challenge:

May 1-7 Sketch #147 at www.sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com

Here's my rendition.  I hope that you like it. I love scrapping my children's baby pictures.  It always stirs up such tender memories.  My son would pick up the video game remote every time his sister or god-brother would walk away.  He really thought he was playing.  

I also love using my Fun Stampers Journey product on my layouts.  I used FSJ banner dies. They're so cute and a great addition to any project.  To order: www.funstampersjourney.com/40

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

Two Challenges In One

(at least 3 of 5 spring colors, a punch, an arrow, 2 Word Title, and Bling and it also satisfied the requirements for Sketches In Thyme Week #2 Reveal Sketch #144.
