Still Scrapping

Well I got 3 more pages done today one of the challenges was to create a page using your favorite papers and I chose DCWV Once Upon A Time with pictures of my DGD Hannah

Dream was cut out on the Cricut using Home Accents carriage and horses Jolee and butterfly K&CO

These are my rocker dudes the oldest kid is my daughter with her tongue hanging out told her she looked like Gene Simmons. Papers are from a kit I bought at Wal-Mart a few years ago stamped the spiders cut them out and used silver tinsel type fibers for the web.

This picture of my DGS is one of my favorites he is holding a small turtle he found and look how tenderly he is holding it and looking down. The papers are from K&CO Bazzil Core'dination stamped Turtle SU and basic grey fibers.

Crop The Week-end Away

Over at Have Your Way with Paper they are having a week-end crop and I actually got 4 pages done today there is 15 challenges I believe and here are my pages

This first page is Lucien at the Circus and the challenge was something that makes you giggle well Lucien always makes me giggle so this was perfect kit from K&Co cricut cartridge  Animal Kingdom and epoxy stickers

On Hannah's page we were to use only Black and White this was so funny as I think that combo is so classy and went perfect with Hannah's Halloween get up.

 

The last 2 pages the challenge was About Fall and that one is always so easy for me as it is my favorite time of the year these pictures were taken in my woods and the 2 with me in them at a farm in Gretna Va.

I used a Club Scrap kit called Mirror Mirror on these 2 pages sorry for the crooked pages.
