Scrap-A-Ganza

Brittney and Xandra have announced that they will be having a year long freebie Scrap-A-Ganza. Every month for the next year they will be giving away a special theme kit...all you have to do is go visit their blogs to download each piece! Here are two layouts I made using Brittney's part of the March kit. It is called Feelin Lucky.


Journaling: My Dad would tell us stories about his childhood. One of his most vivid memories was his father singing the “Irish Stew“ song after he had been drinking. The song went like this: “My Mother and Father were Irish, And I was Irish too. We put the pig in the parlor, and he was Irish stew.” Ironically, in all the research I’ve done into the family history I haven’t yet been able to find even a hint that any of his ancestors were Irish.

Layout: Road Trip

I made this layout using Journey Traveled by Paris Designs. This and other great kits by Paris Designs can be found at Deco-Pages.

I remember this day so well. My daughter was bored because all of her friends had gone to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break so my husband and I decided to surprise her and take a mini road trip!

Journaling: It was Spring Break...and one of those rare times we acted on impulse. We told Ashleigh to pack an overnight bag & hopped in the car. We then drove four hours to Reading so we could shop at the local outlet malls. We checked into a hotel and I relaxed with a book. Rick & Ashleigh went for a swim and enjoyed the hot tub. We picked up some brochures and Ashleigh made a list of the stores she wanted to go to. We shopped most of the day and then headed back home. Needless to say it was quite late when we finally got home and we were tired but we all enjoyed our Spring Break road trip!

Layout: Taji

This is Taji..my daughter's puppy. I just loved how the background paper matched her collar perfectly! I made this layout using Stormy from the Star Collection by Brittney Ferguson Designs.

Layout: The Berlin Wall

I made this layout using Journey Traveled by Paris Designs. This and other great kits by Paris Designs are available at Deco-Pages.

Journaling: The Berlin Wall is something I learned about in history class. It was erected in 1961. According to East Berlin officials it was a means to stop ’free movement of Western agents’ between East and West Germany, however in actuality it was to keep the citizens of East Germany from leaving. It started as a basic wire fence and eventually was replaced with a concrete wall. Over the years there were numerous attempts by people to escape to West Berlin. In November of 1989 I was able to watch history being made. TV stations broadcasted as the wall came down. My Mother-in-law traveled to Germany to visit friends and took this photo of a section of the wall that remains standing.

ADSR Challenge 1 layout: Wednesday's Child

This is the layout I made for this season's first challenge. I've been to the race gallery and there are a lot of great layouts...make sure you go to Ndis to check them out!

Journaling: Almost everyone has heard the poem called Monday‘s Child. It starts like this: “Monday’s child is fair of face; Tuesday‘s child is full of grace....”. You were born on a Wednesday and Wednesday’s child is full of woe. But I think because of your love of horses it should be ‘full of whoa’. You’ve been drawn to horses all of your life. As a toddler you would sit on the rocking horse for hours. When you got older you wanted to take riding lessons and go to horse camp. And now, you are attending college majoring in Equine Sciences. Whoa...doesn’t it make you wonder just a little bit if being a Wednesday’s child has anything to do with it?
