Last 4 Mini Pages

Let me start by apologizing once again for my great delay in posting. (Seems like I've been doing that a lot lately!) Anyway, I've been really sick with a sinus infection and then I had a reaction to the meds that I was given. I'm on the mend now but I'm afraid it will take a while.

On top of my illness, my dad got injured pretty badly while doing some woodworking. He spent 5 hours in surgery and several hours in recovery. After a brief ICU stint, he is now home, attempting to heal.

Putting all of that together, I just haven't had the energy or attention to detail that scrapping requires. BUT....hopefully, that will change.

I have finished the final 4 pages for the Posh Brag Book Challenge and, while I'm not totally happy with all of them, they are DONE!

Page 7


Page 8


Page 9


and Page 10


Now I just need to get the pages mounted onto chipboard and bound together. I'm hoping to get that done before Friday so that I can give it to my daughter when she returns from camp.

Two More Mini Album Pages

Here are the latest two pages for the mini album I'm doing for the Posh Designs group challenge.

My Little Athlete



and

My Social Butterfly



I am really loving this mini album! I haven't made many in my scrapbooking "career", but I could get used to it! I love the fact that these sketches are helping me use some of those scraps that I have accumulated over the last little bit. Too often they are neglected.

2 More Mini Album Pages

Let me start by offering a quick apology for not getting much scrapping done lately. I feel like I've been neglecting my hobby and my blog. BUT.......GOOD NEWS!!! School is now officially out, (at least for the students). That should give me more time to enjoy crafting.

Now......I did get a couple of pages completed for the Posh Designs challenge.



AND



I don't do very many mini albums, but this challenge has gotten me to thinking that I should try to make some more! The sketches are so easy to use and it is so easy to actually FINISH an entire album! I'll be back next week with the next 2 pages, once the sketches are posted.

Another Contest

Any of you heard of the "Distrezz It All"? It's a brand new tool that I am just DIEING to own! It distresses the edges of almost any kind of paper much more quickly and efficiently than I ever could. I LOVE the distressed look!

Anyway, I recently discovered an online scrap store called Posh Designs. They just started a challenge that you can complete in order to be entered to possibly win one of these GLORIOUS tools! Each Monday they post 2 sketches for mini album pages. For each page you complete you are entered 1 time into the drawing. Complete all of the pages and that means 10 entries! (I have added a link to the store in my sidebar of this blog.)

Here are my first 2 pages:

Page 1 "Attitude"


Page 2 "Silly Feet"


By now, you probably figured out that my subject for my mini album is my daughter, unique creature that she is!

By the way, I'm counting 2 mini album pages as 1 full page completed, since these pages are 5 X 7 in size. That makes 2 pages almost 12X12.....
