Challenge #129 - Journaling Challenge

The Challenge this week at sketchesbytamara is a journaling challenge. Our challenge was to journal on a tag. I know, I know -- my completion is pretty weak but I was having problems with journaling my dd's various events without input from her. Here is my entry for the challenge.

This is one of the layouts that is going to college with Lindsey, hence, lots of bling. Paper was purchased at Scrap Etc. several years ago. Now let's see what you do with this challenge!

A Mother's Joy

" A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside. . .
when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the first time,
and a playful kick reminds her that she is not alone."

Keenan, 5 months P.B. (prebirth)

Basic Grey paper, letter stickers and chipboard accents, Fiskar border punch, Sizzix flourish die, DMC Fiber

Layout

My dd has asked me to make her some layouts that she can put up on her dorm room walls this fall. I love that she's a girlie girl so I can use plenty of bling and flowers. Here is my latest layout for her. This is based on a sketch challenge over at sketches by tamara.

Spring (portrait)

Basic grey scraps, diecuts, and letters; snaps, and brown photo corners. All from my stash.

July Scraplift Challenge

I'm also a member of the yahoo group Scrapper's Challenge which encourages using up those Scrapbook supplies. Anyway, every month I post a layout which members are to scraplift using up their own supplies.

Here's the inspirational layout for the month:



Here's my scraplift:

Wanna join me? Let's see your layout! BTW, the flourishes in my layout are left over photos run through a flourish die.
