my everyday essential- practical scrappers and scrap yourself

I finished another challenge today. It covers three challenges. Practical Scrappers- to use border punches, scrap yourself- your everyday essentials, and ACOT - to use bazzill.
My everyday essential is coffee. Have to have it. It is the first thing I do when I wake up. And the older I get, the more I am drinking. I even go to bed at night thinking about how I can't wait to wake up and have a cup of coffee. Sad, right?

Anyway here is my page

PP is die cuts with a view. Black cardstock, edges and black alphas are all bazzill. The tan cardstock is not bazzill and I layered it with mesh and painted it to get that textured look.

Also, I re-did some of my "Gracie at 2" page. I didn't like the way it went downhill. I didn't realize it was so downhill, so I re-positioned some of it. And in doing so, I uncovered a piece of ric-rac that was hidden. Oh, and I fixed her name, LOL. So here it is,

And if you participated in the blog hop for JMS I will be picking a winner shortly.

Just Me

Well, as it says, these pictures are all just me. I have been trying to get a good head shot of myself. I finally figured out how to aim my little point and shoot camera. But I never actually take the time to fix myself up any more- I know, shame on me, it makes me feel so much better when I do. Anyway, after church on Sunday, when I still had my hair down, and make up on. I went and sat in the sun room and took a bunch of pictures. Some of them turned out quite nicely.
So, this page is for three challenges- Scrapbook Challenges has a grid challenge. And Practical Scrappers wants to use soemthing that is at least a year old (glimmer mist on the white cardstock is over a year). And ACOT has a glimmer mist challenge. So there you have it.

Black paper is Making Memories Floral Asphalt Patterned Pape. Mulberry paper is Bazzil. Flowers are prima. Rub ons are bo bunny. bling is say it with crystals and zva. ribbon, scalloped paper and pearls are unknown. white paper is sprayed with glimmer mist.

one layout- many challenges

This one page covers quite a few challenges. First, ScrapTiffany weekly challenge is to discuss grief. Practical Scrappers, wants us to use patterned paper. 52 x 52 wants a little birdie. Lastly, the Scrap Room wants a title to be vertical. So there, I managed to put four challenges, into a page that I have wanted to do for a very long time. And I do like the way it turned out.

PPs are DCWV, birdie is an imaginisce stamp, alphas are thickers, pearls are recollections, flowers are unknown, as they were a RAK from long ago, and brads are making memories.
