100 items on a scrapbook page??

I know.. I thought it was IMPOSSIBLE!! For the Luckybug survivor challange, we have been given the following requirements:

1. Patterns of Paper (you have to use 10 different patterns)

2. Cardstock (can be the same color, but there should be 10 pieces, any size)

3. Ribbon or Fiber

4. Gemstones or Buttons

5. Punches or Diecuts

6. Flowers

7. Stamped or Embossed Images

8. Letters or Numbers (monograms, stickers, journaling, etc.)

9. Brads or Eyelets

10. Your Choice, just make sure you use it 10 times

Make sure that I know you used each of these ten things, ten times. So yes, that is 100 items per project.

So here are the two LO's I created..

Six Flags Discovery Cove

Or for those whom have been in the area a while MARINE WORLD.. Part of Scott's Date/Event birthday was to go to Marine World. Saturday was the day. We were orginally just planning on going as the immediate family, not thinking that my parents would be interested. Ryan asked if Grandma and Grandpa were going to, so I asked them along. Matthew and his old friend Brian(and my adopted brother) also joined us. What a fantastic day. The weather report said it was to rain, but we took a gamble and it paid off!! The guests were far and few between. We were able to get off a ride and run around to get right back on. NO LINES!! We were able to see all the animals and even take in the Dolphin show. We rode every ride we wanted least 2 times. One of the highlights was Matthew, Brian and I went on the Sky Coaster. Ryan (my coaster buddy) really wanted to go also, but we decided he needed to be a little older, even though the sign said he was tall enough.

What a day to remember!

Song Title Challenge

The current scrap challenge is to incorporate Song Titles into layouts. Here are two I created last night..

Margie and Phil's Wedding

Congrats to Phill and Margie! I was lucky enough to be able to attend their wedding this last weekend. What a wonderful couple and great friend.

Margie, Phill, thier friends and family just accepted us and made us feel SOO welcome. What a wonderful group of loving people. My mother and I feel like we have a whole new family. I cannot explain it well, but I just love them.

Wedding Sign in pages

My good friend Margie is getting married this weekend in Cape May, NJ! I was invited and decided to fly back to meet her and help her celebrate her wedding!! My mom is coming out too, as she is my travel buddy. I am soo excited. Above are the sign in sheets I created for her. I still have to put in the "guest" and "message" at the top, but I like how they turned out. I hope she does too!

I am suppose to fly out tomorrow. Hubby came home sick today with the flu. He never misses work, so you know it is BAD.. I just *crosses fingers* hope that he does not share EVERYTHING with me.

Fashion Challenge!

The challenge continues! In the Luckybug Survivor Challenge, we are to use clothes as the inspiration for the LO. The Pink one, I found the back ground paper that exactly matches the pants that three of the ladies are wearing. The beach towels are Hawaiian Print, so that was a fun LO to create. The Black and White one is from scrapbook camp. Quite a few of the ladies are wearing black T-shirts that have "Eat, Sleep, Scrap" in white writing.

Hubby's Birthday Present!!

SHHH!! I made a PBA (paper bag album) as a present for my DH B-day coming up very soon. We always talk about the places we want to go see or things we want to do. But unless we make plans, buy tickets etc, we never seem to do them. SO, for his birthday, I made a Date Book. Each month I have something planned through Dec. The kids will be going with us for the Aug- Oct, but Nov and Dec are ours alone.

AUG: We are going on the Sacramento River train. The trip includes a train ride to a picnic bar-b-que lunch by the river. Along the way, (I have been told) numerous western characters will entertain us and have an old-fashioned gunfight (staged). What?? They are not going to ACTUALLY shoot each other.. come on.. (rolls eyes).

SEPT- We are going to Six Flag Marine World in Vallejo. It has been like 6 years since we have gone to the park. They have new rides that we NEED to experience!

OCT- We will be going on a Hysterical Comedy Ghost Tour. I have been told this walking tour is not typical. One moment we will be hearing ghost stories and the next we will be laughing out loud.

NOV- We will be celebrating 7 years together (married almost 6). So we will have dinner at the restaurant of our first date. The restaurant is called 50 Grand (hence the 50).

DEC- The TV show, Last Comic Standing is hosting a tour. We will be seeing the comics at the Cache Creek Casino.

I am very excited about the plans for the next 5 months. All tickets have been purchased and reservations made. I just hope he is excited as I am!!

Zoo Swap

For a Zoo swap, I made 2 page completed page Layouts.

A GIRL page!!

The BLING theme continues... What a treat to make a GIRL page! With two boys, I don't get to play with PRINCESS very often. My friend Erlee (isn't that a cute name?) will be receiving this as a PIF. Her daughter was a princess for Halloween so I played with that theme. This page just sparkles!

It's all about the BLING BABY!!

For the first Challenge on the Luckybug scrapbooking group, "Bling" is the theme. So, I decided to combine the challenge with a swap. Here are the first two pages. The swap is for my QSS group. The paper is from the DCWV Once Upon a Time stack. The papers are GORGEOUS! It is hard to tell by the photos, but the edge paper and the circle all have a cool golden glitter and the ribbon is gold sparkly to match. Not TOOO much BLING for these boy pages. It is a two page completed LO, ready to plop those pictures right on! The theme for the swap was prince. I cannot wait to get this swap back because I have a ton of pictures from the Renaissance Fair that will be PERFECT for these LO's.
