Cone peak/Iron mountian

I'm getting caught up with challenges from Creative Memories VIP's by Mandee Shirley. This is for week six- use a peaka boo pocket.  I don't have any pockets so I used an old CM photo sleeve.

Here's a look at what's under the flap

I altered the sketch from CM to make it work for the number of photos I had

Over at CM VIP's by Mandee, we were challenged to use a paper-saving technique.  I had an oops moment when I cut the circle on the inside of the Jumbo cutter instead of the outside, but my happy accident created a ring, so I went with it

Here's the finished layout using Deep in the Woods paper and embellishments

VIP challenge

 I was staying on top of the challenges over at Mandee Shirley's" Uncrafty crafter Creative Memories VIP group but then summer camp happened.  I'm trying to take advantage of a not-so-nice day outside to craft, and only managed to work on coloring badges and adding up points for the challenges

18 points over 5 Challenges

Here's how the point system works:

post your version

post within 24 hours

include pics

include journaling

use mostly CM products

I did:

Week #1 use circles 5pts

Week#2 with Switzerland 4pts

Week #4, which I haven't posted as I need photos from our upcoming anniversary trip 3pts

Week#5 with Tree Pick up 5pts

and Week #8 with Court of Honor 1pt )only posted my punched piece with some flowers as not a CM product layout)

It's not too late to join the group for some fun inspiration

Court of Honor

I’m part of a FB group that has a summer challenge going and two weeks ago it was to use the CM jumbo circle and punch the cut portion.  I didn’t use Creative Memories products so I couldn’t share in the group.  

I went back and fussy cut the wedges in the chain and hid the other imperfections under all the hand cut florals.

Alternated using foam for some of the flowers to add some depth.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look

 

 

July sketch-n-scrap

 

I used the upper right throwback sketch for my layout of my son helping at the River Road/ Santa Clara library book sale.  I used the last of my CM season collection as the pink played up the sweet little girl's dress.

The ScraproomJune and July challenges

I've been trying to squeeze in scrapping time when I can get it this summer.  This past Sunday, I helped my son with a bottle drive for his Eagle project and had to sit at a drop-off location for three hours, so I brought along some supplies.  

I used the July freaky fast formula for this Service project page

 I lined up the 5x7 and the 3x6 to give the illusion of a larger sheet of paper and covered the bottom with the tag I punched from the 2.5x 4.5 piece

This next one is from the June  Jumpstart sketch

I cut the blue title from a photo mat and left the chunk with the black letters together as I worried they wouldn't stand out on the background paper.

Egg Hunt #758

 Lasting Memories #758 - Showcase your favorite holiday - Christmas in July, the 4th of July, or any other holiday as your theme.  I'm still working on my son's scout album, of the holidays they do as a troop, my favorite is the  Easter Egg Hunt.  We also do a fun trunk or treat for Halloween, a troop Thanksgiving dinner, and a holiday gift exchange.

For this layout, I'm excited to use the papers I picked up while thrifting (5cents a page).  I'm still working through my stash, but for around a dollar, I added a few new-to-me cute items.

The journaling is hard to read in the photo but it reflects that this is their second annual egg hunt and that the boy spent a few meetings stuffing hundreds of eggs

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you share your favorite holiday with Lasting memories

Stay wild

 

For my son’s troops adventure at Elevate Bouldering Gym I used Stacy’s tic tac toe challenge and Rochelle’s sketch challenge 

I used the middle column of metal (brads) punched tags and world stickers
