A Few More Pages

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

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!

End of June

July sneaked up on me too fast and last night I realized the end of June had arrived, and I was a few points short for getting my GC at ScrapMatters.. So, I had to put together 2 pages to get to 60 points. 😉 I used my favorite kit as of late, Life’s a Beach by Sahlin Studio. 😉

This one was for a My Story Matters challenge, about a vacation we did as kids:

I didn’t spend too much time trying to fix them, but I’m really disappointed that I couldn’t get the pictures to look any better. They were all so blue! I just desaturated them a bit, but I need to look up a good tutorial so I can improve them.

And this was for the In Living Color challenge:

OK, that’s it for June! 😉
