My TA-DA's - This week I completed all of last week's to-do's.
1. Participate in the Sunday Scrappin' challenge to use paper from my collection that I DON'T LIKE and create with it.
2. I worked the challenge into my number 2, to make at least one scrapbook page. My page is about my mom's retirement from teaching.
3. I ordered stackable paper organziers for my scrapbook table.
4. Made my daughter's birthday invitations.
My TO-DO's
1. This week I want to organize my paper when I receive the shelves.
2. I want to create a layout of pix from my Cozumel trip with my husband.
3. I am going to get ideas from 52 Sketches. The layout is the hardest part for me, and I'm so glad I found this site because, kind of like PageMaps, the sketches are there, so you already have a layout guide to follow. I like the 52 Sketches site because she doesn't mind if I print some of her archived sketches for personal use, and she has a challenge with each weekly sketch, and I need to stay motivated. I can go see photos of how other people interpreted the sketch.
Challenge
Create something using paper that I don't like. The picture doesn't look as horrid as it does in real life. Here it is:
I used the paper I don't like as background for the photos. It matched well with some solid paper that I had. Here is what I created:
For next week:
Next week's challenge is to make something in a monochromatic color scheme. Pick a color, any color, and make the majority of your project from various shades of that one color. I can do this!
The blue balloons in the pictures and lovely flower accents really match the so-called UGLY paper and it looks great - all of it! Great work!
ReplyDeleteYou matched that paper up with some great accents- nice work! :)
ReplyDeleteMy DH and I spent a week in Cozumel several years ago. That scrapbook is about half finished. I'll look forward to seeing your Cozumel layout!
I like the retirement page. One of these days I need to start working on my scrapbooks...I've only been saying I would for years. Still need to develop all of the film.
ReplyDeleteSo does that Cricket machine tempt you at all? I must admit it does me a bit. Think I want a new sewing machine first though.
Once again i must say you are veyr organized I am jealous
ReplyDeleteI like you're blue page. I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool meme!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post!
I don't do too much scrapbooking but I do like to make cards and stamp.
Organizing paper -- always a challenge!
I think the retirement page came out great!
I have a huge stack of stuff sitting and waiting for me - maybe you'll be my inspiration to get started - these look great!
ReplyDeleteYour retirement page is awsome, I love that color blue. Your birthday invite is cute, I have the same paper. Keep up the great work!
