Third Place Fun Run/Scrappy Friends Challenge

Hello friends! I have a layout that I want to share with you that I did for the Scrappy Friends Challenge.  I have listed below each challenge with the link to their blog.  Here are the challenges:


You can chose either sketch.  I used the one on the left.  

From the board you can use anything that inspires you from the pictures.  I chose children and stars.  



I used twine.

Here is my layout that I created using all three challenges:

The supplies I used are from Jillibean Soup and Ranger Ink.  These pictures are from my son winning third place in a Fun Run.  My mom took these pictures of him getting his medal and with my friend Heather who was over the Fun Run.  I was so proud of him!!  If you are interested in a great challenge be sure to check out the Scrappy Friends Challenge.  Thanks for stopping by!!


Feeding Bulwagi/Stuck?! Jan 15 Sketch Challenge

Hello! I have a layout that I want to share with you that I did for the second sketch challenge from Stuck?!.  Here is the sketch and my layout:



I decided to use only 2 photos instead of four like the sketch.  I made the photographs bigger.  The supplies I used are Bo Bunny, Ranger Ink, and Amy Tangerine.  
These photos are of my son feeding Bulwagi, an African male elephant at the zoo.  On the day we visited a zoo keeper  had cut up apples and let the kids throw them inside Bulwagi fence.  Bulwagi loved picking up the apples! It was a treat for him as it was for my son! He loved it!

First 5K/Sketch N Scrap January 15th Reveal

Hello everyone! It is the 15th so you know what that means...it is time for Sketch N Scrap's sketch reveal.  Here is the sketch that was designed by Kelly and my layout:



As you can see I turned the sketch.  The supplies I used are from Moxxie, American Crafts, Doodlebug Designs and Prima.  
This is a picture of my first 5k.  I have been on a health kick since January of last year and started running.  With encouragement from my family and my boot camp instructor I entered the 5K and finished it.  I was nervous that I could not finish it but I did.  With my practice runs I had been running in 45 minutes.  I finished in 41 minutes.  I placed 6 in my age group, 67 in gender and 162/245 in overall.  I have to admit I was proud of myself!
  
Don't forget to stop by Sketch N Scrap and play along with the challenges! Thanks for stopping by!
