Comical

| cristina

Amy Sumrall has a new kit out today, Comical: a collab with Laura of Simply Scraps (and she’s a fellow CT member in Amy’s fun team, too!). It’s 20% off today and it’s a hilarious kit:


I did this page with it and I had so much fun playing with the kit!

I didn’t actually take any picture while we were trying to retrieve my lens cap (too much drama!! 😉 ), but I wanted to record this memory and using the journal tags was the best way to do it.

The Final Round

| cristina

The final week of the CT contest at ScrapOrchard has arrived and I must say I’m glad it’s over. It was tiring and nerve wracking, especially because I had to work on the assignments during the week, and with work and DH I was always worried I might not have time to do my best. Anyway, I posted my last page yesterday morning, and now I only have to wait until next Monday, when they announce the winners.

I don’t love this page as much as the others I did for the contest.. I spent more time on it than I did on the others, too! 🙂 I think because for the other weeks I had to stretch my creativity more, because I had to use kits I don’t usually scrap with, so I ended up with pages that were totally me but not my usual pages at the same time.
The gallery is bursting with talent so I don’t think I’ll make it, but I had a blast throughout the contest and I got to try out my style with fantasy kits too.

Two Dollar Tuesday

A Few More Pages

| cristina

I have a few more pages to share from this weekend.

I did a 2-pager for the new My Story Matters challenge at ScrapMatters, about summertime as a child. I use the fun and pretty new kit by Jeni Hopewell, Happy, Happy Birthday!

I scrapped this using pictures from my first summer, because as a child all my summers were spent in the same locations and I plan to make more pages with pictures from later years.

I also started playing with a gorgeous kit by Juno Designs, The Good Life:

and here’s what I created:

Finally, but I cannot share this, I did a hybrid project I’m very proud of. I cannot share it because it’s for the first challenge I’m hosting at ScrapMatters, and it’s starting on the 23rd. I cannot wait! 😉

Double WOOT

| cristina

Unfortunately the long weekend is over, and going back to work is brutal! We spent a nice weekend: didn’t do anything special, but it was really nice.

I was thrilled to see my keyholder frame using Amy’s Berry Sweet featured in the Hot Hybrid Gallery Picks in July’s DST Insider!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my project in there!!! 😀

Also, I’m one of the 40 scrappers who made it to the final round of the CT contest at ScrapOrchard and though only 4 were cut this round, I doubted I’d make it so far, so I’m super happy!! 😉

I’m all caught up with my P365:

I took pictures of the firework display in our town but was so disappointed. First of all, I was disappointed by the show: it lasted only 25 minutes, while last year it went on for over an hour! Then, I was disappointed by most of my pictures – but I did get a few good ones, at least! 🙂

Summer Fun

Amy Sumrall had a new collab with Pamela Donnis, Hot Feet Cool Treat:

I love the summery colors and even if we don’t really have hot summers here (luckily!) I had so much fun playing with this kit:

I’m so glad this is a short week and I plan to relax all weekend! 🙂

More Happiness

Last night I played some more with Mari Koegelenberg’s mini kit, Happiness. It’s such a fun kit!

I took this picture yesterday evening: the sun was out and it was raining, the light was very pretty and these birds were so cute!
