Retro Sketches # 17 - Feeling Crappy?





Hey all! Here is another challenge card I created during the 12 hour crop in South Carolina over the weekend.  We were searching for some new challenge blogs and Sam found this one, Retro Sketches! I loved the layout and it made for a great card! While at the crop we did some shopping (of course) and found this hilarious Unity Stamp. It was so perfect for my fiance that I had to immediately make a card. He is always saying everything is crappy, it's like a running joke. He calls me going to a "Crop" is really are you going "Crapping" etc.....

Lawnscaping Challenge #36 - Color Splash


What a weekend! I had such a blast. I went to South Carolina to visit my bestie Samantha. Her local scrapbook store was having a 12 hour crop, which is great cause it's 3 mins from her hours (So Awesome!). We were pretty productive, I have to say! I got a couple challenges done and some SMASH pages completed. Oh! And some shopping :-) 

This card is for the Lawnscaping Challenge #36 - Color Splash! I used three Lawn Fawn Stamp Sets. I am addicted to hot/bright/neon colors at the moment and I went with it!

This challenge was to do a two page spread on Summer Fun! I decided to do mine on our new scooters and scooter club! We have been traveling all over with our new scooter club!!! Yes, we are like the gang from the movie Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks!!!
