Challenges

~
Yesterday I took a break from scrapping and read a book.....Carolina Isle by Jude Deveraux. It was pretty good. The July Quote Challenge at Snap and Scrap is to use one of the quotes provided and scrap a layout about your favorite book and/or author. Ummmm.....yea that will definitely be a challenge for me. I have so many authors that I like....Jude Deveraux, Catherine Coulter, Lisa Jackson, Nora Roberts, Amanda Quick, Christina Dodd.....I could go on and on.

Another challenge that sounds interesting is the Life Less Ordinary Challenge at Digital Freebies....the subject is toys. Do I have a favorite toy or one I still someday want to have? And, like all great challenges this one is going to require some thought.

I'll probably be spending most of the day jumping from one scrapping website to the next to find out what the rest of the July challenges are going to be!

Yet another layout!

I made the layout on the left for the June 2008 Element Challenge at Digi by Design. The quick page was provided and we had to use it 'as is'. Then we had to add a few specific elements. I liked the layout but since Heather's dress was blue I decided to change the color of the quick page to see if I liked it better. What do you think? Do you like the layout on the left or the right better?

I think I get more accomplished....

I've read 2 books, taken long walks with Devon, baked gingerbread, cleaned the camper and made some quick pages & brag book pages from one of Paris Designs Kits (I'm pretty sure you will see them offered as freebies on her blog in the next few months). And, I've made several layouts (below)......haha....I think I get more accomplished when I'm camping.

Camping again

Yep...we are camping again. Shortly after we got here yesterday there was a thunder and lightening storm but today was beautiful! I spent some time on the computer and took some long walks with Devon. Tomorrow I think I will work on a few layouts and then sit outside and finish my book.
