Hello all, Well here is the first of my 2 layouts that I actually completed at the crop that I went to yesterday. This one is from Halloween. I havent scrapbooked in so long that it took me a while to complete this. Oh, and I am the one in the Ketchup costume. I am a lunch lady at an elem. school so this costume was perfect for me.I am so happy that I got this layout done. This next one is from a trip we made to Apple Hill. This too was around Halloween time. Apple Hill is up by Placerville, Calif. At fall time you go there and there are tons of Farms, Apple Orchards, etc. You can buy crafts, fruits,Pies and enjoy people watching from farm to farm. It is so much fun and we like to go every year. The 2nd. page was basically my mom and my aunt just being plain goofy. We are a family like that, Love to be goofy! I hope everyone had a productive National scrapbook day and enjoy the month!!

Here is a sketch challenge that I put together for Jenn Balcers WSC. It took me a while to figure out what colors I was going to use but once I did, It just kinda came together! I used a Magnolia Tilda image and colored her in with my Copics. I am still trying to get the hang of those darn Copics but I guess practice makes perfect. The colors I went with were Real Red, YoYo yellow, Orchid Opulance and white. I used my Swiss dots EF to add a little texture and the flowers I used are called fabric fancies. I added a green brad in the middle of both sets of flowers. The patterned paper I used is from Stampin Up! and is in a 6X6 pad that I received as a gift from the awesome Gina Taylor ! For the sentiment, I used Thank you... For your friendship. Go on over to Jenn's blog and check out her challenge and play along!
