More October Afternoon goodies!

I’m here! I’m here!!

A couple weeks ago, I started this project using the October Afternoon goodies in the Alternate Kit from Life Preservers. I finally got a chance to work on it again.

I perused the local thrift shop and found this old book for 50 cents! I loved the theme of the cover and thought it would be perfect for a mini I wanted to do using my school photos.

After removing the pages from the book, I used my Crop-O-dile, to punch holes.




Here are some of the pages. I am missing photos from a few years. I will add more pages as I aquire those photos.

ScrapFit Challenge #16

ScrapFit Challenge #16!

Time for Kelly’s “March Madness” Recipe Challenge
4 Circles (basketballs biggest month/ the final 4)
Multiple fonts (like all the teams have different names/logo’s)
2 pictures (because it comes down to the final game between KY and someone) Distressing (like the way all the teams will feel when they get beat by Kentucky).

I combine all of these elements onto my layouts all the time, but when someone challenges me to to do so, it suddenly becomes a struggle! Out of the blue, I became trapped….stuck…I fought to get things to come together. What’s up with that?! It really is a magnificent challenge. I was just over thinking it! Once I decided to just let go, things fell into place and I really had fun with it.

The prize for this challenge is another awesome kit by Life Preservers Kit Club!! Wohoo!! Vons kits are over flowing with scrappy goodness!!!

Next weekend the Design Team at ScrapFit will be "Springing in to Action!" We will be hosting a blog hop March 19th -21st! Hop on over and join us!! Lots of eye candy, prizes, and great inspiration!!
