March with Modern Wagoneerr Sam

This beautifully designed layout although I take a crooked photograph. I found at Let's Scrap challenge site. I have less than a month to finish my scrapbook and I feel like I am so far behind that I may not make it! But at least I am taking in some crafty time fun! That has been my main focus lately searching for new places, sites, and groups to join in some fun challenges and make some new crafty friends as well as take on a challenge or two!

I recently was searching for a paper challenge site where the groups are not stagnant like at Paper Craft Planet. Don't get me wrong my current design team Digistamps4Joy has a group located at Paper Craft Planet but most of the groups at PCP have been stagnant not just for months, some haven't had a topic for years. I sent the owner of the site Suzanne Boyd a message about this, her advice rather than delete these groups and clean up house at her Ning site, was for me to step right in to the groups and get them fired up again. Why would I want to step on someone's toes and just start taking over their group? That just doesn't seem right to me.

 I joined  a couple groups at PCP and I started taking on old stagnant challenges, some groups it encouraged others to start chatting again but others not a word, just silence. I found a challenge group I thought I could possibly kick start into gear, but being that it was started by someone else I decided to send her a message asking if she would relinquish her group to me. That didn't work out, the group has been silenced so long that I never received a response. 

I found the Anything Goes group which isn't really anything goes challenges that I have noticed it is mostly Random Happies, where you send someone from that group a random greeting card, and they also do Holiday card swaps where you pick a silly holiday in the month you join and send cards to group members. I joined Anything Goes and the Cuttle-buggers group.  The cuttle-buggers started to clear the cob webs and get it going again.. YAY!

Feel free if you have a challenge site that you think I may want to try out please let me know in my comments section! I would love to stop by!

Modern Wagoneer Sams Month Two

Here she is, page two of my Scrapbook for the Modern Wagoneer Sam Oklahoma Chapter. Yes, I am way behind on getting this Scrapbbok made. I am at a rush to get it done and I am not sure at this point if I am following the guidelines for the competition or not.

 I am designing my layouts from the challenges at HOME AND SCRAPPED. For this layout it was a fun game of tic-tac-toe and my line of three items are the color black, stars, and cogs. I incorporated all three items in my page for the challenge!

 If you have a really good eye you can look at my first layout and you may recognize the gray paper on the background. My objects in my first layout were cut from this piece and I incorporated the scraps out of the stash!

Cyber Crop!

So there I was surfing the internet for challenge sites and there she was, Home! Home and Scrapped that is! (giggles) It all started early Saturday morning Australia time, it was late into the night for me here in the states! But I was eager to take part in my first ever Cyber Crop! Every 20 minutes you receive a step by step process of making a Scrapbook page layout, it was so much fun!  Here's my creation during Saturday August 24th's Cyber Crop over at Home And Scrapped!

For my scrapbook page I decided to start on the much needed scrapbook I am to finish within the next month from the past years events for my RVing Good Sam Club chapter of Oklahoma the Modern Wagoneer Sams.

Here's a scrapbook page I created with a sketch from Emily.

Think Spring at OUTLAWZ GIRLZ

Another wonderful challenge under my belt at Outlawz Girlz! The themes of these challenges are so creative and fun! This theme is Think Spring and for Spring I think of  butterflies, flowers blooming, frogs croaking, and we are usually planning our first fishing/camping trip of the year.

Sketch Challenge

Saturdays Sketch challenges are being hosted by Emily. This is a page I created using this weeks sketch for the wedding album I am putting together of my late mother's photographs.

New Challenges

I have been tearing the paper up in here! I can honestly tell you I have ink on my hands!! Call me a crafter!  The top picture is what I created from Emily's sketch challenge and the bottom is from Clare's Card Challenge!

Creative juices are flowing tonight!

Swirls & Butterflies Scrapbook

The Outlawz Girlz have challenged us again and this time it is to make a Scrapbook page with Butterflies & Swirls. My mother never had a wedding album, I am making her one. She passed away in 2002 battling colon cancer. I was 30 years old. I am making this in her memory as a keepsake for me and my then someday I will pass it down to my daughter.

Wedding Photo Scrapbook

Saturdays at The Outlawz Girlz is their weekly Scrapbook challenge. This is my first photo scrapbook page. I won a Love themed scrapbook album kit at Simply Scrapping Crafts from a blog hop or card challenge entry. My mother never had a wedding album book, although she passed away 9 years ago her birthday is this month on January 26th and I wanted to do something in her memory. She also divorced my father when I was 8 years old, so I guess this is really for me but in her honor. There is a not a day that goes by that I do not think about my Mom.
