Challenge countdown-99 to go!

Alright! It's official...I am officially CUTOFF from buying any new scrappy items! Before I kicked this off I did buy today's steal from Scrapbook Steals hehe I just LOVE MME and Hazel is such a BEAUTIFUL collection! Alright with that out of the way I'm here to post my first layout towards this challenge. Here is today's midweek mojo sketch by the awesome Kristy Lee:

and here is my CREATION:

What I used:

• Bazzil cardstock
• MME Lime Twist- Happy Go Lucky pp, tiny type letters & twine
• AC Thickers in Chit Chat
• misc. ribbon
• K & Co. chipboard stickers
• Ranger stickles in lime green & lavender

1 down 99 to go!! WOW!! That sounds like A LOT haha But I really need to take advantage of the amazing things I already have as well as save some MOOLAH!!! That way when I go to the CKC Convention in October I'll be able to buy lots & lots!! :) Thanks for checking in, I do appreciate it :)

A different kind of challenge!

So while perusing around on facebook today I stumbled upon a different kind of challenge that should really be interesting! I try to scrap AT LEAST once a week if not more, and sometimes it just doesn't happen at all :( Meanwhile it seems that I buy something scrap related more than I actually scrap! haha So in honor of actually CREATING I'm doing this 100 card or layout challenge! And besides I need to save money for more than 1 occasion. So here's how the challenge works...I am NOT allowed to buy ANYTHING scrap related (adhesives not included) until I have completed 100 layouts or cards. Hopefully some of my other scrappy friends will join me on this frugal journey :) I look forward to showing you all what I create <3

Happy scrapping!

Long time no scrap :) MWMs #51 & 52

annnnddd I'm back! haha Sorry it's been so long...last week was the family vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC and since then I've been playing catch up on everything! But I'm back and just in time!! This week marked ONE whole year of mojos at Scrapbook Steals!! WHOOHOO!! I seriously can't believe I've been mojo-ing it up for that long!! Time flies when you're having fun :) I was a little late with last week's mojo so I will start the catching up process NOW! Here is the sketch:

and for the first time I turned a 2 pager into a 1 pager! Here is my layout:

Products used:

• Bazzil cardstock in Quicksand
• MME Lime Twist-Life of the Party pp
• AC Thickers in Lullaby
• MME Lime Twist twine
• Ranger Stickles in lime green
• misc. buttons

I really love how this turned out! This collection from MME is so cute and fun! They truly have some beautiful papers :)

And for this week's sketch we were honored by Erin Colby, this month's guest designer! She did a GREAT job coming up with not just one but TWO sketches!! I honestly got teary eyed when I saw her first layout!! :) Here is the first sketch she came up with:

and here is my interpretation:

Products used:

• Bazzil cardstock in Fussy
• Echo Park Life is Good pp
• AC Thickers in Lullaby
• MS large butterfly punch
• misc. brads
• Ranger Stickles in baby blue, fruit punch and diamond
• Prima flowers

Right when I saw this sketch I knew it would be 1 of 2 pictures that I had recently taken. I've done a couple of daddy/daughter layouts lately so I went with this picture of Rylee and her stuffed Mickey Mouse doll. She is OBSESSED with Mickey!! lol When I saw her cuddled up with him one night I had to take a picture! You would think with such a love for him I would have more pics of the two but sadly I do not. Anyway I'm very happy with how this came out! I love me some Echo Park <3 Thanks for stopping by...until next time :)

I have FINALLY become a member of a club on Scrapbooksteals.com!! It's only taken almost a year!! LOL Anyway I really enjoyed this sketch because A) it's a 1 pager and B) it's simple I was able to change it up just a tad and add my own little flair to it :) Here is the sketch for Mojo #50:
