CHALLENGE 3: Painting the Edges

Challenge 3 of the 52 Week Scrapbooking Challenge

This week's challenge is to paint the edges.  Which means using acrylic paint (which is acid free) to color the edges of your papers, or your photos, or your accents, whatever and whichever you decide, just paint the edges.  Have fun!

Packing for a Weekend Crop

In an effort to be organized and productive I made the following videos.  I hope that I will find myself very organized and productive at our yearly crop coming up this week.  I also hope that I won't want for anything. 

It's very hard for me to pack for something like this since I have ladies over to my house every week and I always have all my "stuff" around me.  So for me to pack is really a hard task. 

I'm feeling really good about what I'm bringing this time.  Last year I didn't really know what I was going to scrapbook and this year I chose 3 themes with their pics and projects already decided.  So that will help alot.

The picture below is from last year,  in the brown/green photo containers are all my cricut cartridges, manuals and keypads which I won't need to bring this year.  The stamp and marker tower isn't coming either.  So I've eliminated those two items.  (I bought the Gypsy a couple weeks ago and I love it!)  Behind me are all my bags and I had two large bins which aren't coming this time.  Yeah!

My Doodling Page

Well, here it is, my doodling page.  At first I had no idea what I was going to do.  The thought came to me that I wanted to start out doodling on a decorative sheet of paper instead of plain cardstock so that was the first thing I chose.  Then, I went through my templates to see what I had and pulled out the flower template and the swirls template.  Then I traced everything in pencil first just to make sure I liked it.  I then traced over it again with a brown marker.  After finishing and coloring in my doodle I had to find some pics to go on the page.  The ones I chose were from about 30 years ago (so don't laugh).  My "disco" days.  Awww, what the heck, it was a fun time in my life.  Anyway, I thought the coloring and the quantity (4 pics) fit really well.  

Since I scrapbook with my friends on Wednesday evenings, most of my challenges will be posted on Thursdays.

FYI:  I'm checking all of your blogs (the ladies who are joining me on this challenge) to see your uploaded 52 Week Scrapbooking Challenge pages.

CHALLENGE 2: Doodling

52 Week Scrapbook Challenge! Doodling

For this challenge I'm thinking it would be fun to do some hand doodling. I've never done that technique before. I have no problem with anyone using some of those creatively whimsical stencils out there. The main thing is that you have to use your hand and a pen to adhere to your page. Have fun!!
