"Sisterhood of Scrap" Blog Party Challenge Day 2

Hi Party Gamers !
Hope you are all having a fun time with the game challenges hosted by the "Sisterhood of Scrap's" Anniversary Blog Party.
Congratulations Sisters on your first Anniversary looking forward to the coming year !!

One of my favorite childhood games to play,was jump rope.
The fun involved 2 twirlers and one jumper.
The jumper would sing a skipping song, as she sang,the twirlers would speed up the pace as the song progressed.
The object,to be able to skip steady till the song was complete,if unable,next up would be a twirler.
The one with the most jumps would have the honors of taking the skipping rope home till the next challenge.

Here is my game challenge for you in honor of skipping rope
jump Rope/must use fiber
3 Players/must use three photos
Skipping song/must use a Song Title for lo or a verse from a song.

The little cutie in my layout example is my Grandniece Hannah.

I also combined this weeks sketch challenge at the sisterhood with my crop challenge.Don't you just love mixing challenges!

Sisterhood of Scrap Anniversary Crop Party

Hard to believe it has been one year since the "Sisterhood of Scrap" was created.

Three cheers to the Sisters!! what an amazing job they have done with this blog!

One of my favorite spots for information and inspiration,having this blog to go to has helped to make the Scrapbook community a smaller and friendlier place.

The wealth of information that is available every week is amazing,you can tell that a lot of time and effort is put into this blog always fresh and new.

If you are new to the Scrapbook online world I would recommend that you bookmark and check back often with the sisters..there are always fun challenges happening there..and a new sister every week.

The party will begin today Sun. April 6th with the first challenge and will continue everyday thru the week.All the rules and information will be available for your viewing also.

Sketch Challenges at the Sisterhood of Scrap

My hubby

I have been trying to pick challenges,that will fit in some time to play with my papers and stash. Learning digital Scrap booking has been using up my spare time for creating,and my poor Scrapbook supplies have been crying out to me to come play.

Digital is so much fun to learn and create with plus no mess,but you know..sometimes a women just has to get dirty.

I love the papers from Cosmo Cricket "Halfway Cafe" that I have used for this sketch challenge,this collection works so well with Patriotic layouts.

With only a full sheet left and some scraps,I pieced it all together to make this sketch work for me.(I really need to order some more of this paper before I can no longer find it )

Posted on the Sisterhood of Scrap every Sat. you can find a featured Sketch designer Challenge.

I like to use sketches when I am in a time crunch..it is one less step in the planing.

This weeks designer on the Sisterhood of Scrap is Cherie Averill ,this is the first time I have tried her sketches and was very pleased with the way it all flowed together.Plenty of freedom to give it my own personal touch.

Check out this weeks sketch challenge at the Sisterhood and Cherie's Blog "Sketches-R-Us"you will not be disappointed in this lady's work.

The Sisters are always looking for new sketch designers to feature,if you like to sketch why not stop by and let the sisters know you are interested in contributing.

While you are visiting the Sisters take note that they will be celebrating their one year Anniversary very soon,so keep your eyes open for further details.

Poem for Mono challenge

iScrap had a fun crop this weekend.So many inspiring challenges,but of course there was no way I would be able to do them all.

I believe I must be a very slow scrapper.

Have to to give it up to some of the women,they were able to do almost all the challenges,if not all !! Three cheers ladies I am in awe!

I usually average between 5 & 6 of the challenges and am content with that..I have my limits :)

There was also some make & takes that are on my to do list..one in particular is a flower box posted by Cami...so cute for the Easter table..Have my project prepped and am moving slowly on this...my camera is broke ...so no way was I able to have it ready for the crop (no photo to post).

here is a link to the project if you would like to give it a try!

Thanks Cami!! that was a fun project!
