Some New Challenge Pages

So, I have been trying to do some of the daily challenges over at Scrapbooking The Day Away. I did a few this week but (show me your shocked face) Im running out of Photos!! I KNOW right??!! Ive been scrapping like crazy and I am caught up with Bella on her photos. Im actually telling her to take some pictures for me to scrapbook please. Yeah that works so good too I get the great response of a ::sigh:: and Oh mom!she will send me maybe one photo of her sitting on a rock or something and think that should last me a few months! Not hardly darlin'. SO I am going back and scrapping all the out takes of Christmas and other pictures that I really wasn't intending to scrap. BUT I have no more so I have to scrap them. Here are a few of the last photos I have to scrap these are also challenge pages I will list the challenges That I did. The first challenge was: *scrap a page using this tutorial (50 points) [per finished page] *use your left over scraps (50 points) [per finished page] *use more than 3 colors (25 points) [per page] *journal on your page (25 points) Well I didnt do the tutorial. AND I am not keeping up with the points. (it stressed me out and I was losing my creativity and was finding it hard to do the challenges when I was trying to keep up with the points and all so I just started doing the challenges for fun forgetting about the points and it got better. I did use my scraps use 3 colors and I journaled although its hidden on the tags behind the photo.

The hidden journaling says: I got Bellas senior portrait ( the big framed photo) for Christmas. I cried and cried. Hidden journaling says: oh Bella, I do not know what came over me, I’m sorry you got frustrated with me over my crying. I do too know what came over me! Thinking of you all the way back as a tiny little girl holding your daddy’s hand going to k4. Watching you excel in school and make friends. Fighting with you over homework and studying in grammar school. Watching you make great study habits in jr high and then high school. It seems it all went by so fast. You grew up on me in a blink of my eye. I know I took tons of pictures but I wish I could have been there for everything. I love you my Girl!! So much!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This next Challenge I think I had the most fun with! Your challenge today is to scrap a page using as many things on this list as possible: - Card stock - Patterned paper - Stickers - Embellishments - A title - Journaling - Something shiny - 3 of something - The color pink - Something shiny - A triangle - An animal - An item that you have fussy cut - A heart I used every single thing on here!

This was a fun challenge! I loved it..I also had new paper to play with so that made a difference too haha! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the next challenge *scrap a page (25 points) [per finished page] *do all of your scrapping in the middle of the page (50 points) [per finished page] *use 2 or more photos (25 points) *use stars or hearts on your page (25 points) [per star or heart used] I sorta did the challenge. I put my pictures in the center of the page. my paper was started in the center of the page but drew right. I did use 2 photos. I added stars cut out to the bottom and used a star paper background.

The Journaling talks about how these three started out 4k together at Jackson Creek Christian Academy (in a small church) and went there till 3rd grade till the school diseminated, then these three went on to Cottage Hill Christian and stayed there all the way to seniors as they are now. They will graduate together this spring. I love that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was actually the first challenge number 14 but Im putting it last. Its just how it fell on my page. Here is the challenge Your challenge today is to: *scrap a page (100 points!!) [per finished page] *use something you love!! (A picture you love, paper you've been hanging on to, a favorite embellishment etc.!!) (100 points) [per item you love] *use stripes, circles, squares AND a heart (100 points) [per finished page]

You can hardly see my square and stripe (same thing) because of my pictures. Its there though. I used washi tape as my favorite embellishment. a big circle. The journaling talks about how Bella was inducted into the National Honor Society and how proud we are of her. she worked really hard for this. Those are the challenges I did this past week. Im digging through old photos to get more to go with the rest of the challenges. so hopefully I will find some. Ill post more when I get some done. Hope you all have a great week Nancy
