SC March Championship Challenge

Well it was quite the amazing race.  It was down to the final four.  March Madness began with 16 designers from all over the world. 

The final four were Amanda (from the U.S.A. and myself (from Canada) and  Emmy (from the Netherlands) and Carmen (from Panama).  It was a very close race with Amanda getting 77 votes and myself getting 72 votes.  Also, on the other team, Emmy getting 93 votes and Carmen getting 89 votes.  It was a very exciting and close race indeed! 

Now, it is down to the final two competing in the last round which will consist of digital scrapbooker extraordinaire  Amanda from the U.S.A.  and traditional scrapbooker extraordinaire Emmy from the Netherlands.  I am looking forward to this!

All is all it was so much fun and was very pleased to have made it this far.

Be sure and check out all the layouts and details here.

Have an amazing day!

SC Final 4 Challenge

Well I can't believe I have made it to the final 4 designers in the March Madness challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges.  We started with 16 of us, then it went to 8 and now there are 4 of us design team members remaining.

This challenge was so much fun.  The four of us remaining design team members  had to take the number of our March Madness signature.  On the Scrapbook Challenges forum mine is 07, which is also my favourite number.  We were then challenged to make a layout with that number of patterned papers.  I chose polka dots as I love them.  I used mostly October Afternoon's patterned papers and created a layout with seven different polka dot papers as well as chipboard letters that had polka dots as well as my dress.

The photos were taken on Mother's Day in 2009 and the layout is on my occupation Yes, I have been a maid, domestic engineer, cook, nurse, mom and wife for many years and I still love it.   The pay is lousy, but the rewards are great.  Oh, but I forgot that I also love to scrapbook.  That's for another layout on another day.

Hope you like the layout and thanks so much for stopping by.  Voting will begin later in the week to see who makes it to the final round of two designers.  I will let you know.  Have a great day!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #289

My Beautiful Family

Happy Monday!  Today I have a two page layout to share with you of my beautiful family.  The photo is of a digital calendar that I designed of my husband, my son and daughter in law, my daughter and her boyfriend (now her husband) and my youngest son and my parents.  It was back in 2008.  The summer of 2008 was an eventful summer as my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in July 2008 and my oldest son got married in August of 2008.  There was lots of scrapbooking to do that summer!

Basic Grey's Sweet Threads Collection came to the rescue for this particular two page layout that I designed for Sketch #289 at Scrapbook Challenges. There is a  lot of machine stitching on this one too.

Here is the sketch I based my layout on.  I chose to do the double page layout as it takes me out of my comfort zone.
