Good morning, y’all!  Welcome back to another challenge day here at BetterScrap.com!  Today we’re celebrating our Dads, so I had to pick an appropriately dignified photo of my Padre to scrap.

I think I did it.

Hehehehe.  I sure am glad the goof ball-ness skips a generation.

The challenge criteria I used were to use chipboard embellishment (the fleur-de-lis on top is chipboard, with a matching canvas one beneath), and I fastened the chipboard to the canvas with three brads.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Come and join the challenge!

Happy Challenge Day, everyone!  Since this challenge was all about blue, I immediately thought about two of my favorite little criminals nephews, and did a layout featuring photos of the first time we took them to Disney World.

They look so cute that you’d never realize they were trying my patience every other second.

I love these stamps by Hero Arts!  So cute, and they are small enough to go on cards as well as layouts.

Thanks so much for looking!  I hope you all join us in this challenge!

Good morning, y’all!  Did everyone have a good Mother’s day?  I hope so!  My project for this challenge isn’t exactly about my mom; it was part of my Mom’s gift.  It held a mini album and I’m hoping she dug it as much as I enjoyed making it!

The case started life as this little case from Michael’s.

I covered it with lots of Graphic 45 and Recollections bits and pieces, including paper and plastic flowers, and one great big Canvas Corp. burlap flower to meet the flower part of the challenge.

I cut little paper doilies to edge the bottom of the box, which took care of the paper lace requirement.

Thanks so much for looking!  I hope you’ll join us in this challenge and take a little time to celebrate mom!

Welcome back for another challenge, everyone!  This challenge is another color challenge, and it’s all about spring time pastels.

These photos were taken as part of a session that my sister and I gave our mom for Christmas.  I’ve been planning to start scrapping them (there are ALOT of them) but just never got a fee minute.  But, even though the photos were taken in November, the park was still so green that the photos look perfectly at home on this spring-y background.

Most of the tags and banners on the left side of the page are part of the paper design.  For the right side I cut banners from another sheet and backed them with foam adhesive to give them some dimension.

I love this foam adhesive.  It’s a big sheet that can be cut to any shape or size, so I cut it slightly smaller than the banners in order to make it less visible from the front while being sturdy enough to keep all the angles and corners from being smooshed.

I used a Bare Basics Blossoms and Leaves set from Basically Bare for a few floral bits.  I covered the chipboard flower with a Zig Painty pen and added it to a banner.  Then I took the canvas leaves from the set and drew some veins with a Zig Fabricolor pen and tinted them with Glimmer Mist.

To finish it off I used buttons in place of flower shapes on the leaf bunches.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you join us in this challenge.  See you on the Facebook page!

Happy challenge day, y’all!

I know I’m running the risk of turning into the crazy cat lady that is constantly scrapping pics of her cat, but it was unavoidable for this challenge.  I  am happy and lucky to live in a house that is shared by the greatest husband and pets EVER.

I included one little ole’ metal brad down in the lower left-hand corner to meet the metal embellie criteria.

I cut a couple of circles from some fabric that came in a Gauche Alchemy monthly kit to meet the fabric element criteria (the corrugated cardboard and metallic Punchinella that are also cut into circles came from another GA kit.  Super kits, y’all.  Be sure to check them out!).

And finally, I stamped on some of the circles and stamped the teeny tiny little title over in the bottom right-hand corner.

That’s it for this layout.  Thanks so much for checking it out and I hope you join in the challenge!
