52 Week / Thursday Challenges.... NEW YEARS!

Being the avid Genealogy & Family History Buff that I am, I decided that this year my 52 Week Challenges were going to be about ME and the challenges that are posted here at...

Week #1... New Years!  

     While I was growing up, we didn't do much on New Year's day except enjoy what was usually our last day of Christmas vacation, before heading back to school. But as I married and we started to mix family traditions, I adapted to Marty's Family of New Year celebrations. And even though his parents have passed away, we still follow these same traditions with our kids. 
     We start the morning off by have waffles and bacon, then we watch the Rose Parade, next we usually spend some time finishing up our Monopoly game that we started on Christmas day, snacking on all the holiday goodies, we watch a movie and then we have dinner. I think the big part of New Year's for us is spending the time together as a family.

 

Working Wednesday... Choosing a Size

I keep thinking about all the emails and texts I get from people asking me how to scrap this or how to make that so I have decided that Wednesday's will be our working day. We will have tips, techniques and scrapbook 101 ideas for everyone. If you have any great ideas that you would like to share, please feel free to email me...

So let's get to work!

One of the biggest questions that I get asked very often is WHAT SIZE ARE MY SCRAPBOOKS? and HOW DID I DECIDE ON THAT SIZE? I think it is one of the first things you need to decide on as you begin the adventure of scrap-booking. So for this first lesson we will be going over is the differences in scrapbook styles...

First you need to decide on the size of your book...
I scrap all sizes for different reasons based on what I am doing with the photos that I am scrapping, My Family, My Boy's and My Wedding Scrapbooks are 12X12s, the extra photos I scrap on 8 1/2 X 11 for my Mother and then I have done 6X6s of things for my boys when they were little. They enjoyed them like story books.

When you are trying to decide which size to use there are several things to consider...

12 x 12 ~ These are the most popular size of scrapbooks. Many scrappers choose this size because it is best for multiple photos, larger pictures and/or memorabilia. This size is great if you have a lot of pictures of one event or activity because then you do not have to make a lot of pages with the same theme. 12X12 paper sheets will cost you anywhere from $0.50-$1.50 per sheet depending on the weight, pattern or designer.

8 1/2 x 11 ~ This size is an easy user friendly size of scrapbook because it is compatible with any computer printer and is a lot less expensive. The biggest draw back to this size is there is not much room for multiply photos. Paper in this size runs about $0.30-$0.75 per sheet depending on the weight, pattern or designer.

Other Sizes ~ There are smaller and variable sized scrapbooks available. The two most popular sizes here are 8X8 & 6X6. Chipboard Books also fall in this category. This size usually only has space for one small picture per page and are used primarily as very specifically themed scrapbooks like Field Trips, mini stay-cations or sport events.

So your Challenge today is go browse through the scrapbook magazines, internet or local craft store and decide on with size you are going to be scraping. You can share your comments here...

Good Morning Everyone....!

"Reality" is starting to set in... I can't believe that it is Thursday again all ready... and that we are half way through the month... AND NEXT WEEKEND IS ANOTHER AWESOME VSBN!!!! check it out...HERE

Anyway, The "Reality" of the matter is that I have been trying to come up with some fun new layouts to scrap for the VSBN weekend. And one came to mind this week while we were watching the "Deadliest Catch" marathon, with the boys, getting ready for the 2010 season. We really enjoy this show... but I can't help wanting a CAPE COD LOBSTER ROLL every time I watch it. SO you can only imagine, after watching all week, what we have been enjoying for lunch.

My Challenge to everyone today is to use the "Reality" of the recipe  and your imagination to create a page or layout using either the colors from the Lobster Rolls, beach pictures, boating or even just plain fishing photos.

Here is my Sample: LOBSTER ROLLS...

If they do then the contestant wins money and moves up to try again. Each time the contestant chooses to play they get a chance to work their way to a million dollars. It is great fun to watch and we have even tried some of the games at home. They are very quick, simple, but not easy to do games that will have the whole family laughing in no time.

52 Week Challenge #13 - 2010

Good Afternoon Everyone...

"It's Reality".... or is it, Really?... or is it just something that someone thinks is Reality?

Well... VSBN is for real! check it out....http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=485928 It is real because someone or somebodies, really awesome and great, like Mary Pat, Lela & Crystal say it is!!!!

And so, after PMing back and forth with Lela, we decided that a little "Reality" kick off would be good... As most of you know I am not a big TV watcher, but I do like "Biggest Loser" and now the new show "Parenthood" It is so Reality for me...clear down to Max, little Boy with "Asperger's".

So my challenge for you today is to create a "It's Reality" page or Layout with photo's capturing "Parenthood", whether it be your own or someone close to you. Use your journaling to tell the "Parenthood" moment.

>>>> Bonus: It's Really Spring, so feel free to use Springy Colors.<<<<

Here is my sample: Parenthood - "It's Reality!"

Here is an older sample: Baby Boy!

52 Week Challenge #12 - 2010

THANKS LELA.....!

Anavon is traveling this week so I am pitching in for the Thursday 52 Week Challenge. For March, we've had a "Family Tree" theme. I had the chance to go to a crop this weekend and I had a fun time getting some picts done from last summer. I really had to chuckle over some picts of my sons because when they're together they're always joking about "Who is #3?". They go back and forth when they're together on who falls to #3 on "Dad's list of favorites". Of course, my DH doesn't have a list of faves but the our oldest son always likes to tease the others about he is #1.

Our challenge this week is to scrap picts of your Family and document your "Family Joke". What word or phrase brings out fond memories of something that always makes you smile. Be sure to journal about what it is and how it got started!

Here's my (Lela) Sample: #3

Here is my (Anavon) Sample:

:::::::Remember you get Bonus points if you "Go Green" on your page... (choose from the following)

1. "Go Green" by using the color green.
2. "Go Green" by using up some stash.
3. "Go Green" by recycling embellishments or accents.
4. "Go Green" by using limited supplies.

Good Morning Everybody!

It's Thursday.... I hope everyone had a Happy St. Patty's day, and in staying with our "Family Tree" theme, to honor and celebrate my Irish Ancestors and heritage, our Challenge today will be a  RECIPE CHALLENGE: (Grilled Corned Beef Brisket).
So the scrapping part of the challenge today would be to branch out your Family Tree by creating a vintage or heritage page about someone in your family, using any of the Irish colors that inspire you.

:::::::Remember you get Bonus points if you "Go Green" on your page... (choose from the following)

1. "Go Green" by using the color green.
2. "Go Green" by using up some stash.

52 Week Challenge #10 - 2010

Good Morning Everyone....

It's Thursday.... Time for another look at where we are in our 52 Weeks of 2010! This month our challenges have been and will continue to be about "Going Green" and recycling old memories and planting a tree, "A FAMILY TREE". Last week I challenged you all to start with you. We were challenged to plant that memory seed by finding inspiration in ourselves. Now that the seed has been planted and sprouted, it is time to prune and add to those branches with today's challenge entitled...

Scrapping BRANCHES...

SO your challenge today is to add a page or LO about your parents. Scrap photos that tell a funny story or a recycled treasured memory. I also thought it would be fun to REUSE a Sketch Challenge... So for this challenge please use the sketch..... SBSC03

Monday's Inspiration...

Good Morning Everyone...

I feel so honored Today to be your guest host. Jenn is still feeling a little under the weather and asked me a couple of days ago to fill in. And as I started to think about her 2010 - "THAT'S LIFE" theme that she challenges us with on the second Mondays of the month. ( In which she said was..."Inspired by "That's Life" by Nic Howard, scrapbook artist and Memory Makers Master; I will challenge you to tune into the details that make up your days and scrapbook them. It's all about finding inspiration in the everyday and creating pages we wouldn't normally think to create".) I started to think about how much joy it brings me to share with all of you some of my ideas, in both my crafting and scrapbooking. So I decided that in staying with Jenn's theme that today we should scrap some of those things that....

BRING US "JOY" WHEN SHARED WITH OTHERS

So... your challenge is to dig out or take some photos of those things that bring you "Joy" when you share them with some one else. I would also like to challenge you to find inspiration from all the goodies you have in your stash, try to recycle or reuse for this Layout to stay with the "Going Green" theme. If you still need some more inspiration, please feel free to check out all the awesome layouts on Nic Howard's Blog.  I used her LO entitled "My Tribe"as my starting inspiration today.


Here is my sample.... SHARING JOY!

And you can enjoy the gallery for today's challenge..... HERE!

52 Week Challenge #9 - 2010

Good Morning Friends..

"March Madness"... I would like to share with you why I like March! I love March for many reasons: My pansies start to shine, The weather starts to warm up, My feet start to itch for some travel time, I love the thoughts of "Going Green", and because of St. Patty's Day my heart and mind starts to think of my lost Irish Ancestors.

Which leads me into my inspirational challenge for you today (and maybe the THEME for the whole month)...

"Scrapin' Up a Family Tree!"

Your Challenge for the month is to Scrap a Family Tree and for Today's Challenge we are going to start with "ME!" SO... what I would like you to do is create a page or LO with photos of yourself doing something that you like to do and then journal to your family and Friends what or why you like to do it. This challenge and page is designed to be inspired by you as a memory or heritage page about "YOU!"
Bonus points if you "Go Green" on your page... (choose from the following)

1. "Go Green" by using the color green.

52 Week Challenge #8 - 2010

It wouldn't be a February Thursday Challenge if we didn't celebrate a HOLIDAY of some sort... ;) And of course we need a recipe still for the month....:mrgreen: So for today's Challenge we are going to...

SCRAP A STACK!
(Do you prefer a short stack or a tall stack?)

OKay... So let me explain. Today's Challenge is in celebration of International Pancake Day which was last Tuesday. Here is my favorite Pancake Recipe:

Cheesecake Pancakes

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
2 cups pancake mix (we use bisquick or make my own)
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 eggs

Slice cream cheese lengthwise into four pieces. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; cover and freeze 8 hours or overnight. Next morning, Cut cream cheese into bite-size pieces; set aside. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, milk and eggs with whisk or fork until blended. Stir in cream cheese. Brush griddle or skillet with vegetable oil, or spray with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375°F or heat skillet over medium heat. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/3 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown.

We love a variety of topping here at our house.... I like Fresh Fruit and whipped cream, Mr. P enjoys Blueberry syrup and fresh blueberries, DH like hot maple syrup & extra butter, Mr. S enjoys his smothered in peanut butter and maple syrup.

SO for the challenge today... I would like you to choose a "Short Stack (2 pancakes)" or a "Tall Stack (3 or more pancakes)". Here are the guide lines of the challenge, based on what you choose...

"Short Stack" - please stack or layer at least two different colors,
"Tall Stack" - please stack or layer at least three different colors
You need to also use brown and white somewhere on your page in honor of the pancake and I challenge you to use one color from your favorite syrup or topping.

You get 52 week Bonus points... if you scrap photos from your International Pancake Day Celebration photos!

Here is my sample: IN HONOR OF THE PANCAKE! - 2010

As you can see I choose a "Tall Stack" and added blueberries (blue) for Mr. P.


The Gallery for this Challenge can be found ---- HERE!
I hope you all enjoy the recipe as much as we do and Please remember to use the keywords: 52WK20108, SBC10Feb,
