This weekend DH and I have been pretty busy: we went to the opera last night (ah, we really must go more often!) and today we went to a museum. Lots of fun, but tiring too, and the weekend is over way too fast!

I only scrapped one page yesterday but I took many pretty pictures today. 🙂

Even though I didn’t scrap much, this weekend was memorable: I got RAKed by Kelley Mickus, April Dawn (I used her kit for this LO) and Weeds and Wildflowers!! 😀

I was RAKed by Dani Alencar with her latest kit, Call Her Beauty, and last night I started playing with it!

So finally, after a series of pink LOs, here’s some red! 😀

Ugh, it’s Friday and it’s raining here today.. It’s time to go, but I really with I could stay home!!

I slowed down a bit and only got one LO done tonight. 🙂

I took a last picture of DH last week while I was preparing cupcakes and coloring fondant, and as I shot it I was already thinking about what color of paper to use to scrap it! 😉

I scrapped another LO for the My Story Matters challenges over at ScrapMatters. This time we had to scrap about something about us before the age of 2, so I chose to document how I ate very little as a child. (Gosh, how do things change as years go by! :D)

I didn’t get any scrapping done this weekend, but I still did a lot of things! 🙂  Spring cleaning felt really good!

I wasn’t in the mood for scrapping tonight, but then I got inspired and ended up doing a page I’m actually very pleased with! 🙂

The best part is that this is not a photo I was planning to scrap because while (quite extraordinarily! 😉 ) DH turned out pretty well, all the members of the choir around him are either making funny faces or are moving around like crazy (there was very poor light so I needed a longish esposure – 1/20), or both!

Selective coloring and some cover-up elements really worked well here!

Had I cropped the picture, the impression of DH being in a choir would have been completely lost!

So, I’m really happy I took pictures at the concert, despite the poor light and the difficulty of shooting when DH wasn’t hiding behind the music or making ugly faces. 😉 Another major drawback is that I felt really uncomfortable taking pictures because of the shutter noise.. I’m pretty sure nobody even noticed, but that didn’t help me avoid feeling guilty as I was shooting. 🙂

Tonight I scrapped the last LO about the hunt I organized for DH on Valentine’s Day. (I know, I have yet to take pictures of the house album I gave him and post them, but we have to buy a good lamp for our light tent before I can do that.)

I made two more LOs with pictures from my baptism. These pictures are so precious I couldn’t leave them out so I ended up scrapping them all! 🙂

I was 3 months old and the pictures depict me with my parents, maternal grandparents, paternal grandmother and maternal great-grandmother (only in the next LO).
The next page I did for a Roadmap to Scrap challenge at ScrapMatters, following these instructions:

1. Choose at least 2 photos
2. Your background must be a photo; feel free to blend it with a paper or alter it in any way
3. Your main pic must have a cluster of elements next to it
4. Add at least 4 circles
5. Include at least one doodle or hand-drawn element
6. Choose at least three ribbons
7. Be creative with your date–no fonts!
8. Use an alpha for your title

I can’t wait for the next My Story Matters challenge, coming next Sunday!

I’m all caught up with the My Story Matters challenges over at ScrapMatters now. Tonight I did a page about my hometown:
