A few layouts
I've been scrapping! Below are a few layouts I've gotten done. I sat down last night to see what I had done for Bean's first year scrapbook, thinking I was about ready to have it printed. Not so my friends! I have 60 pages done, and I have about 20 more that I want to do. That's about twice as many as I had for Cocoa's first book. I'm not feeling so bad about the second child thing... I didn't think I was taking enough pictures of him. Apparently, I was wrong! Click on the page's title for full credits:

"Lift This" challenge
Happy Hump Day! I don't know about you all reading (yes, that's you my 8 followers... thanks!), but I am very impatient for this holiday weekend to begin! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays (if my husband and I didn't get married at Christmas, we were getting married around the 4th) and I can't wait to see my sister-in-law and her fiance, who are coming in from Arizona. Lots of fun things to come, not to mention celebrating the amazing freedom we are all so fortunate to have!
Another "Lift This" challenge was posted, I have created a layout to play! Here is the layout to lift: "Ellie" by Dina Wakley. Below it is my lift: "This Face" (click on link for full credits).
Perhaps the picture isn't as sweet and sentimental, but I had to create something for this photo! Cracks me up! Dina's layout is a paper one, and she does such interesting things with ink! I wasn't quite sure how to do it digital, so I'm going to have to look into it.
A few weeks ago I submitted "Duck Pond" for a Lift This challenge. I've now added to it and made it a two page layout. There were so many pictures from that time that I wanted to use. Here is the original page of Bean, and then the page I created to go with it. The final photo is the two page layout for Cocoa's book.
That's all for now. I've neglected my housekeeping duties, which is really bad when trying to sell your house! I've got some tidying to do. When I'm done, I hope to create more!

I won! Say what? I won!
Every two weeks some fabulous women put on a "Lift This" challenge at Two Peas in a Bucket. Basically, they interview a fantastic paper scrapper and those participating lift (use something inspired by that layout) to create their own layout. The three women who put this on encourage the participants to really pay close attention to shadow and detail that will make their digital layout look as real as possible. Then, one layout is selected as "the winner" and that person receives a gift certificate to the Two Peas Store and a warm fuzzy feeling. :)
I was selected as the "Lift This" winner yesterday and I'm SO HONORED!!! The layout above is the one I created. If you are a fan of "America's Next Top Model", you know what "smyzing" is. This is my sister in her homecoming dress, getting her pose on. Click here for full credits and here for the layout that we lifted.
I've truly learned so much from participating in this challenge over the last few weeks. The feedback, tutorials, and Pea Praise I've received have been so encouraging and valuable in my journey to improve my creativity and shadow work in layouts. Thanks so much for choosing my layout! You three AMAZING women are such an inspiration to me!
I leave you with a layout I did in honor of Bean's birthday (click here for full credits). This was created during a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters yesterday (these are SO MUCH FUN... guess I'll have to blog about what they are later!) I will be enjoying the long weekend with some family coming in from Illinois, so I doubt I'll be updating until Monday or Tuesday. Happy Memorial Day everyone! I hope you take the time to remember those who have died for your freedom, as well as those loved ones who took the journey before you.
