Deer LOs

This weekend I worked on 2 LOs about the unusual morning visits the deer paid me last week. 🙂

I used the beautiful kit Welcome Home by Erica Zane, which is given as a gift to all subscribers at ScrapMatters! 😀
I did the first LO for the Tuesday Template challenge:

and the second LO for the Roadmap to Scrap challenge, these were the instructions:

  1. 1 Edge to Edge Photo
  2. 1 Frame
  3. Stitching
  4. 1 or more Fasteners (paper clip, staple, etc.)
  5. 1 or more Ribbons
  6. a Brush or Stamp
  7. 1 Element of your Choice (choose wisely…there can only be one!)
  8. No alphas

I actually started scrapping this page first, but when I got to instruction #8, “no alphas”, I realized I needed to do a 2 pager, since I cannot do a LO without alphas! 🙂

We got the first snow of the season here today, and more is coming. The streets aren’t white yet, but everything else is, and it looks like it won’t be long before the streets get white too.

I did a LO for the Tuesday Template challenge at Scrapmatters. In addition to using the template provided, we also had to scrap about some of our blessings.

So I did a LO on the beautiful colors of autumn. We love living here!! 🙂

Lazy Weekend

IF YOU’RE HERE ON THE BLOG TRAIN, KEEP SCROLLING! 🙂
**********************************************************

I’m feeling lazy this weekend, so spending it scrapping sounds perfect to me! 🙂

I did 2 LOs with Bree’s new kit, Pretty Grungy.
The second LO I did has 3 versions of the same picture of the previous LO, but with some different blending techniques applied. I did it for the Saturday Special challenge at SM.
Generally I don’t scrap much with grungy kits, but I love this one by Bree and I love these pages I did!

Trick or Treat

I did another Halloween LO (and this leaves me with only 1 more to go) for the Word Up challenge at SM (we had to use a definition of a noun in our LO).

The gorgeous purple paper is from Bree’s latest kit Pretty Grungy (see post below) and I thought it was simply perfect for Halloween! 😉

I downloaded a few new fonts for these Halloween LOs and I’m so happy I took the time to look for them!! I think they totally make these pages! 🙂

Another Halloween LO

IF YOU’RE HERE ON THE BLOG TRAIN, KEEP SCROLLING 🙂

 **********************************************************

I did another Halloween LO. I have two more to do and them I’m done.
I did this for a Roadmap to Scrap challenge at SM. These were the directions:

  1. Use more than one photo
  2. At least one photo needs to be framed or matted
  3. Build a cluster around your focal point photo (can include elements listed below)
  4. Use a 1:1 ratio of patterned paper to solid paper (for every pattern, you need to use a solid)
  5. Include one fall/Halloween element, even if it’s not fall-colored- a leaf, a pumpkin, a ghost, etc
  6. Include at least 1 ribbon
  7. Use an alpha in your title
  8. Journaling is a must!

and here’s my LO:

I’ve made a few LO in the past couple of days but didn’t have time to post them here. So I’ll remedy right now!
First let me show off a fun LO I did for the challenge at Sugarplum Paperie. I love how it turned out!
Credits:

Everything by Sugarplum Paperie:

Whimsy Doodle (collab with Amy Sumrall), Glitzy Bits, Little Bits.

Next, there’s a LO I did at the Speed Scrap hosted by Britt yesterday night at ScrapMatters.
I was very tired, but Britt’s unusual first instruction made me want to stay till the end. And it was totally worth it!!
These were the instructions:
  1. You have to use a template. Find one that works for the pics you want to scrap. There are no rules on number of photos.
  2. Place your photos and basic papers into the template. Use at LEAST one pattern paper.
  3. Add at least 1 frame. You can add more.
  4. Add something black. Anything black will do other than text. Text doesn’t count.
  5. Use a repeating word somewhere on your page. Be creative.
  6. Let’s title our page now. Use more than 1 alpha.
  7. Time to finish up!! Journal if you’d like to. Don’t forget to date your page. Embellish however else you’d like.
And here’s my LO:

Finally, I started scrapping our Halloween pictures, and I did this for the photo challenge at SM.

Yes. It took me forever to do the extraction. But that cute lil’ bat deserved it! 🙂
More Halloween LOs to come soon. 🙂
