LEO Challenge #14

We were challenged to use a sketch. I didn't love it at first, but I'm pretty happy with how my layout came out. These are pictures from my cousin Beverly's bridesmaid's luncheon.

LEO Challenge #13

I'm almost done updating. WHEW! Exhausting work.

This was a "now and then" challenge. I used a baby pic and a current pic of Spike. It says "how did my little love bug get so big".

LEO Challenge #11 & 12

I didn't do number 11. So... moving on to #12. This challenge was called "maxed out". We had to put more pictures on a page than we ever had before. These are pictures from Carolina's bridal shower at the Rainbow Lodge.

LEO Challenge #10

The challenge here was to "go over the edge". This is going to hang in the twins newly decorated bedroom.

LEO Challenge #9

We were challenged to do a layout about someone that we love or who made an impact on our lives. I chose this picture of me with my cousin Sandy because we loved her and miss her very much.

LEO Challenge #8

These are a few of my favorite things! I used some Love, Elsie for the background and lots of different numbers.

LEO Challenge #7

Challenge was to use a punch. These pictures are from Thanksgiving 2004.

LEO Challenge #6

This challenge was to use old paper. I used some old Chatterbox for this layout to go in my "Dad & Me" album that I keep at mom's house.

Another post today...

LEO Challenge #3!! This challenge was to scrap summer pictures. This is Brian when we went to Galveston last summer. Brian is a friend of mine that I met through Sandra.

LEO Challenge #2!!

Here is my layout. This is my mom and her mother. Unfortunately she passed away when I was only two from breast cancer. From what I hear I take after her in many ways so I'm very sorry to never have known her. I do think I see my eyes in that picture though!

I used some really old Wild Asparagus, Anna Griffin and Basic Grey paper. The challenge was to use 5 pp's and 5 different embellishments. This layout will go in my mom's heritage album.

No shoe pictures for today...

But I'm playing along with the Willow Traders September challenge and I did one layout so far. I haven't scrapped since the retreat!
