happy scrapping everyone!

hello from the poconos!

so i came home to visit this weekend with my family, my mom had to work and my dad had to run out so we are here alone so i figured i would share with you some things i have done lately.

back to the poconos real quick its beautiful here this weekend, today its 70 and the foliage is awesome here! the colors are so great!

so over at lets scrap we are doing a summer challenge and here was my entry we had to scraplift someone here is my attempt
i love my husband LO:
also over at the mosy scrapper i am doing there 12 week xmas challenge this week we had to use a bird on our LO, mine is in the tree:0) i also used a sketch from pagemaps
and i made these cool paper pumpkins from cardstock! i used versamark and ink to ink the edges and crimped the leaves, really happy how these turned out. thanks to kathy for the tutorial~

my 2nd week entry for survivor

so over at tally scrapper the 2nd week posting was up and i wanted to get it done early since i will be heading up to my parents for a long weekend! i cant wait to see them and sean gets to spend time with his poppy!

so for week 2 we had to:

• use the word Journey on your layout
• use a chipboard alpha that has been painted and has different sizes
• use NAKED chipboard embellishments
• your layout must contain some pink

i used rub on stitching and you cant see it really well but in the scalloped circle it says not a destination. and i also cut the stars out. so i am pretty happy with how this turned out and its another 12x12!

i am also working on some more wall hangings to sell, i am hoping to find a craft show in november so it gives me some time to get lots done!
thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin!

so i did want to go pink & lets scrap october kits
