I've been working on an album for my friend Brooke. It will be for her youngest daughter, Claire. This photo was stunning and I had to make the page special. The coordinating page contains a couple more photographs and a pocket that holds the sonigram shots of the baby. I think I may go ahead and cover the polka dotted circle with some glossy accents, but am still thinking about it.

Series Challenge!!!

Ladies, my week-end has started and I hope you are ready to do some scrapping with me. I am going to run a "Series Challenge" through Sunday. You have until 6pm to finish your projects and upload them to a gallery. Don't forget to put your link on my blog in the comment section.

Layout #1...

Create a spread related to a song. I selected "I Melt" by Rascal Flatts. On your layout, I want to see three different styles of lettering. Good luck and have fun with this!

Another Scrap Day

Despite my sore back, I was able to sit at my crafting table in my scraproom and get six layouts completed today. All of them are for Kennedy's scrapbook. Hopefully I will finish it this week and will be able to give it to Brooke on Friday or Saturday. So far things are looking great. The album is already 24 pages and I still have Christmas and birthday pictures to work with which will give me at least another six or eight layouts.

I'm getting excited for the new month! I am going to have a project published at scrapbooking.com in their on-line magazine. Then later in the month, I am hosting a crop party with several gals during a long weekend. During that weekend I will be posting a couple of challenge contests so our friends who cannot join us can play along. Ironically our crop is the same weekend as the annual "MS Crop for a Cure" here in Elizabethtown. We might be popping in there to say hello to familiar faces. The weekend should be a lot of fun!

It's a Week-end Crop

Okay, so a few of us are gathering for a week-end scrapping event in March. March 13 - 15 specifically. It will be the first annual "Restless Creativity Crop". This also coordinates with two other events in the area, the annual E'town MS Fundraiser Crop and the Kelly Panacci visit at Scrapbook Village in Glasgow. This is going to be a fun-filled weekend full of cropping, shopping and relaxing. In order to include those who cannot attend, we will be posting challenges throughout that weekend. There will be a layout contest where one winner will be selected for a special "RAK". Check back later for more details!

Another Scrap Job

I've been hired to put together an album for a friend. I've done several for her already and she keeps coming back for more, so she must like them. Anyway, her daughter's birthday is approaching and she needs her yearly scrapbook completed before the party. I will be starting that this week. But first, I need to get a few things done for me. Right now I'm participating in a contest happening at the Life Preserver's Club and so far, so good. I'm waiting to find out if I'm moving on to the next round, and if I am then I need to work on a layout for that. Here's last week's layout.


I've started remodeling and organizing my scraproom. I've got a lot of room to work in but I wasn't using it to my advantage. By moving a few things around, I will be able to use the room for sewing and other projects. Also, with friends scheduling annual trips for local group crops, I'm going to need the extra working space. Hopefully we can get some scrapping done here at the house before we head off to meet the rest of the girls. I should be finished organizing in the next day or two and then will get some new pictures posted.

A Sketch Challenge

If you are looking for a challenge, check out my library at Restless Sketches. I am going to upload at least one new sketch each month. The sketch for January is sketch #4. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to comment and leave a link to your creations!
