SCS JAN 2017 VSBN -&- CM's Virtual Crop

Third day snowing here at the canyon... It was a perfect Super Saturday Scrapbook Day. Creative Memories hosted a fantastic virtual crop today and I completed lots of paGes and layouts. I decided to combine our VSBN challenges with the crop challenges and I finally got through my crafters block and finished a few layouts...

VSBN#1 - New Dresses
This one is of my granddaughters in their new dresses. I made this page for grandpa for Valentine's Day. 
(CM Virtual Crop #3 & #5)

VSBN#2 - Birthday Boy
I am playing catch up in my boy's scrapbooks... This DPS is for my son's 4th birthday.
Our VSBN challenge for this page was to use our stash and add elements that work with the word "BEGIN"
                                       B - Birthday, Balloons, Blue 
                         E - Edges, Eyelets
            G - Green, 
       I - Ink, 
                          N- Nice Boys... Lol

I decided to stay with the new/firsts/beginning theme for this layout. Great sketch with easy story flow..(CM's Jan Virtual Crop - Bonus Challenge)

Keeping with the VSBN theme... This my was first time trying Gormet Chicken & Waffles. 

This page is for the inspirational photo challenge and I chose the colors from the photo.

WOYWW - #264

I got back from spending an awesome week at girls camp. It was really nice to come home to a clean desk... :)
This week I decided it would be a great week to catch up on a few of the Split Coast Stamper's stash challenges that I have missed this month. So here is the first challenge.

For our first stash challenge this month we were suppose to include the following items in our layouts: Alphabet stickers (or rubber stamped alphabet letters) One Frame Four Punched Shapes (dig out those old shape or border punches ladies!!) or Die cut shapes One Piece of Ribbon Scrap Strips of Patterned Paper Optional: Preprinted Page topper or Page Title I love using my old stash with my older photos... :)

Stash Busters May #3

Our Saturday Crop challenge this week was to create a layout with a banner and brads. I also combined it with the third stash busters challenge for the month.   we were encouraged to use: • 3 patterned papers • A flower • Ribbon • Journaling card (can be pre-made or one you design yourself)

Stash Busters May #2

While waiting for the second stash busters challenge to be posted, I worked on finishing up a stack of

 older scrapbook pages that needed to be added to my sons binder.

Stash Busters May #1

In trying to decide what picture would work great for this challenge, I felt like I needed to bring a little wood to the beach. So mixing the two together with touches from the challenge:

Our first Stashbusters challenge for the month was to use ... • 1 piece of patterned paper • 2 wooden shapes • 3 buttons • 4 pieces of embroidery
