Keeping at It - Thursday look

By looking at the challenge early in the morning, I can get an idea of what I want to do. Fortunately, most challenges are something I've done in the past. I may not love this one or that on but so far I haven't fainted or pulled my hair out when I've seen one and read the directions. That could still happen but right now I'm counting on 12 years of scrapbooking history to kick in.

Day 5 Grid



I wasn't keen on this but in the end it's one of my favorites so far. Funny how that goes.

Day 6 Scrappable Stackable Template



A bit busier than my norm but it got a heritage photo done.

Day 7 Magazine Inspiration



Originally a color photo I took on one of those jammed full transatlantic flights. White haired man looks dubious about my taking this photo. No darlin', no harm was going to come to you.

So there you have it and there will be more on Tuesday!  Hold on to your seats!

Still at it

Some of the challenges for this MOC I don't like but I've done so many over the years I can often go back and get some inspiration of my own. Today you get to see some granddaughter stories. I really want a story on every page.

January 3



I was glad I had taken a good succession of photos of Lotus' haircut which were perfect for a challenge which required 10 frames. I also remembered I had done a similar layout for a day in Genoa back  in 2012.

January 4



I like this style of layout and the template was a freebie. Win win! and I only used one kit. Changing the saturation or depth of focus keeps it simple.

Back with more on Thursday!

Yes, I've joined in - The Lilypad's MOC Month of Challenges

I waffled about this during the fall as I wasn't sure I wanted to make that commitment again, even for the $20 gift certificate for all those who complete the 31 challenges. But by the end of December I was willing to do it. Sometimes the challenge of the day leaves me with a layout I really don't like and sometimes dislike. So I'm in and taking the good with the not so good.

January 1

This challenge required a lot more product than I like on the page but I did like it even if our friend's last visit to LaScala wasn't a Christmas one. That dress called for a rich look!



January 2

My computer seemed to be a bit out of sorts and I couldn't find the kitchen photo I wanted so I made this one fairly simple and neutral. All in all I think I might go back and use that image in color not sepia. Also, who knows why the journaling split chocolate up... hmm (now corrrected)



More for you on Tuesday.
