Tuesday Reveal!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing projects from our awesome DT and today I have some more to share with you! We were able to work with papers from the My Mind's Eye Lime Twist collections. I had the Out of the Blue and Fly a Kite collections and I have decided to call it - "paper for all seasons"! At first glance I saw bright fun colors and thought how great it was for kids and spring pictures. However, when I dug in and started playing with it, I saw that the variety of colors and designs that were not too "theme-y" would work for so many different pics! So I began with a bright summer page of DS learning to swim in the pool.
Then I moved on and pulled the greens and browns out of the paper and dug out an old MME tag that I had been hoarding and created a fall LO from a trip to Six Flags around Halloween.
And for your winter scrappers - I pulled out the papers with the yellow, blues and gray and did a page of DH on our trip to Colorado at Christmas - complete with snow! We loved it there and even went as far as to look at real estate listings!
Of course I still have lots to play with so you can expect to see some more projects from these great lines over in the gallery! For one final project I made a very simple card. The paper didn't need a lot of fancy embellishments just a simple bow and some Stickles to accent and you have a very quick and pretty card!
I hope you have found some inspiration and that it will help you look closer at papers and see some of the "out of the box" potential!

Challenges

The last of our Mother May I crop challenges went up today.  A total of 18 awesome challenges so if you are looking for some inspiration this weekend as well as a chance to be entered into the Crop giveaway, be sure to go check them all out HERE.

With Mother's Day tomorrow, I thought we should all celebrate the generations of mothers that have come before us.

Your challenge is create a layout or project highlighting "Generations".  In addition, if you use something "vintage" you will receive an extra entry into the drawing for the giveaway.

Here is my creation using a vintage photo of four generations (myself and sister, my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother):



You have until Sunday May 20th to get your challenge projects uploaded!!

Happy Scrapping!

A perfect scrapping day ...

Good morning! It is a perfect scrapping day here in South Texas. Cloudy, raining (100 % chance!), and my scrap desk is cleared off from the last creative burst!
I will be completing the challenges from the Mother May I crop here on the My Scraps and More Forum. The challenges are very creative - everything from sketches to techniques!
I was looking through the challenges for some inspiration and I found two very bright and happy layouts that brought a little sunshine to my rainy day!
This first one is by Anna (annamills2001) for precrop challenge #1- I have some pictures of flamingos from our zoo so this layout is going in the lift pile! (I have no idea why it is turned sideways!)
The second is by Wendy Crowe for Challenge #6 - isn't this so cute?!?! The bees and flowers.... oh my!
Hope you can join us in the forum! Lots of fun challenges - all due on May 20.

Thank you for stopping by,
Kristin
