Ok...Some new stuff for Serendipity Scrapbooks

This lo is titled Papa's Day - My oldest boy Aidan was about 2 or 3 months old when all of these pics were taken!
This is one of those picture cards that you get from family.....the challenge was to use a punch in the LO..............I chose to do the angels with this one!
The three of these LOs are created using the exact same supplies and the exact same pictures, I just changed the orientation of the pieces a little. Theese were fun to do and now I have one for each of my boys!!!!


This picture was of my grandpa and I back when I was about 6 years. My grandfater died within a year from this date nso this picture is very special to me!!!!!
I so love the daily challenges over here at serendipity. I have a blast with the contests that they come up with!!!!
Thank you,
Kimberly





Look at me forgetting one of my pages.....this is my nephew a few years ago.....made this one for a patterned paper challenge.

Serendipity Sketch challenges

Here are my newest sketch renditions that I just finished last night. I haven't even posted these on SS yet, but I will probably when I finish with this post. These pics were taken while my husband, his borther, and myself were on a trip to Seattle Washington to visit their mother. My husband and I weren't married quite yet but I had just found out that I was pregnant with our oldest son. My mother-in-law wanted a new family pic so she took us down to the local Wal-mart and had us take pics!!!!! She had fun!!!! LOL

Thanks for watching.....I love scrapping and I hope that you guys do too!!!!

Mad about Scrappin' Cybercrop

This one was created from a sketch challenge they had on the site.
This one was created with the only requirement being Mad About.... in the title of the lo.
This one was created for the blind scrap that I talk about below......I really love this pic and I just took it the other night. I don't always get to see my boys being sweet and peaceful!!! LOL
This one was also a sketch challenge. These pics were taken at the hospital about 2 hours after my twin boys were born. They have my oldest son, my mom, my dad, my step mother, my step-sister, and of course the babies!!!

I just finished working on some stuff for an Australian cybercrop that has been going on this past weekend. I love it....they even had a blind scrap challenge where they gave us the directions but no example and we cannot post them we have to email them to the person responsible for this challenge and she will post them all later!!!! It was interesting and actually kind of hard.

Thanks for looking!!!!!






I hope that you like them!!!!!!!

Serendipity Challenges November




I added these challenges in last week but never got around to updating my blog. It has been a long and crazy couple of weeks and I have been lucky to get the scrapping done that I have!!!!!!

Hybrid Designs Australia

This one is for the cyber crop card challenge!!!!
This challenge was to scrap something new using only three colors - brown, green, and black not including the pics of course.

This challenge was to scrap something shiny and new using a minimum of 3 different ribbons or fibers....I think I ended up with 5 or 6!!!!!


This one was to scrap something new with something new from your collection.....the stuff may not be new to the market but it is all new to me....except the pic....that is about 7 years old and of my new family back when it was new!!!!! Oh yeah, there had to be something shiny or metal on it as well.......

I've been following some crops put on by the gals over at Hybrid Designs in Australia( http://hdscrapbooking.com.au/forum/index.php) and I am having tons of fun!!!!!! They are just finishing up with a crop from over the weekend and the samples above are what I turned in for the challenges!!!!!!

Have a wonderful evening!!

Serendipity - October daily contest Submissions

This card was done from a sketch that is posted on the website under sketch challenges.
This LO is obviously about my twin boys and they were both wearing their superman t-shirts that day.......this was made for the Recycle It! challenge where you had to use an ordinary household item as a scrappable item......mine was the corrugated cardboard spacer.

This was done from a sketch they borrowed from Page Maps....it is supposed to be an 8x8 page but I made mine a 12x12 page. All about the day we took our pics and how it was snowy outside.


This challenge was to take a whole line of papers and display them all on one layout.....I did mine in a patchwork quilt pattern and I used a couple of the extras that came with the paper line!!!!

This challenge was to scrap in a fashion that you are uncomfortable with. I am totally uncomfortable with white spaces...I have to put something in the space.....after I am done with the LO I usually really like it, but I have trouble with stopping in the middle and not adding anymore.....this is a LO about my puppies that we had before we had our twins....we had to find them new homes before the boys were born. :(

This was done with the round sketch, I think that it is also from Page Maps... they have some really awesome sketches there...these pics were taken of me when I was in preschool back in the early 1980s....yikes....I do like the pony though!!!!! I still don't know what happened between then and now!!!!

I love to scrap.....I will have a bunch more probably up tomorrow.....we'll see how everything goes tomorrow!!!!!

World Card Day Crop

Okay......I had some fun this weekend......I decided not to do any of my homework and to work on some cards for a World Card Day Crop that ran from Friday October 3rd - Sunday October 5th. I tried this because I'm very unsure of myself when it comes to making cards and there were given guidelines and those challenges were created by the individual members and everyone received a ballot or two for each of the cards or challenges they entered. I was one of the lucky ones who was picked to win one of the prizes.......Yeah!!!!!!! I can't wait to get some yummy mail!!!!!!
For the two cards, above and below, the requirements were 2 patterned papers, hearts and 2 cards.

This card challenge was titled DIVA and it had to be pink and black, with bling.
This card had to have 2 pp, ribbon, and bling.

This card was done for the challenge - have the word Anniversary on the card.
This one was done for the Christmas Card Challenge.
This one had to be decorated in only die cut items....outside I have a snowflake and a snowman, and inside there are 3 christmas tree ornaments.
This card was done for the at least one chipboard element - the christmas tree.
This challenge was all about squares......had to be all squares.

This card was made using a sketch by Page Maps - don't know the name of the sketch - that was the challenge.
This card was done for the ribbon, lots of ribbon challenge.....the background purple and flowers and stripes are all strips of material ribbon taped to the background cardstock.
The two pictures, above and below, were using a magazine as inspiration for the card. I used a catalogue that came with one of my put together kids and then made my card from that.

This card was done for the dry embossing challenge - Lift it Up!!!!!!

This card was for the It's so hot..... challenge where there had to be at least one candle.
This challenge was to make a Thanksgiving card.
The pics of the card, above and below, were for the challenge Trees! - she just wanted trees!!!!

This card was done for the Stolen Sketch challenge and I cannot remember where the sketch came from - maybe Taylormade Designs???

These cards were made for the Ready Set Go challenge - create 6 cards out of one piece of 12x12 paper.
This challenge was all about circles - 3 circles....
Four cards - one with a star, one with the flag, one with American in it, and one with bling.
Red, White, and Blue challenge.
All in Pink......everything but the words had to be in pink.

I know that this is a lot but I hope that you guys like them!!!!!!! Thanks for looking!!!!
