Scrap the Guys Contest

I think my brain has been on vacation lately. I can't seem to get motivated to get much done. I did manage to participate in the Scrap The Guys Contest at Hummie's World. It was a seven week contest to encourage you to scrap layouts about guys that would appeal to guys with the winner being announced today (in honor of Father's Day). I haven't got much else scrapped lately though. Here are my layouts for the contest:

Week 1: Scrap a guy and use quote applicable to a guy; I used the Peanuts and Crackerjacks Collab.


Week 2: Scrap a favorite smell. I used Freshly Baked by Creations by Rachael.


Week 3: Scrap a guy and use the provided frame. I used SYTYCD Week 1 Freebie by Flergs


Week 4: Scrap a guy and an animal theme. I used Spirit of the Wolf by SKrapper Digitals.


Week 5: Scrap a guy and used the provide paint chip. I used Troublemaker and the SYTYCD freebie both by Flergs.


Week 6: The layout had to include a guy and something to do with transportation. I used Background Paper - From Hit the Road by Wild Dandelions; Paper Strip and Flag from Tire Treads by Candleworks; Photo mask by Heather Manning.


Week 7 - Scrap a guy and his hair. I used Flerg's Troublemaker for this one.


What a fun contest. Thanks, Hummie! Oh, I almost forgot to mention - look at all the cool stuff I won in the contest.

Happy Scrapping!

Bad, bad blogger . . .and MSS Blog Train

Sorry I have been MIA. It has been a crazy few weeks and I just got back in town from my Grandma's funeral and my son's birthday party. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of an Internet connection where I was.

I am happy that my template challenge at Pretty Scrappy is going well. I was a little nervous about it. You can check out all the great layouts from my template here. You can still get the template here too until the end of the month.

Plus, I had so much fun making that template, I decided to make a template for the posting bonus for my themed quote challenge over at Hummie's World for May.


Remember the RAK I got from Donna Duncombe? I used the layout I did with it to base my template on.


Now, how about some quickpages? You can get them both here on Mediafire.

These were made using the April Showers & May Flowers Collab from the designers My Scrap Shop.


You can also pick up more quickpages from this kit on the blogs below later this week. I am going to be out of town for my anniversary so wanted to make sure I got mine up before I left.

Are We There Yet? Quickpage

Well, that certainly seems like an appropriate title after the evening I had last night. Thanks to mechanical problems, a missing flight crew, a storm, and a tower being struck by lightening my flight that should have arrived home at 9 p.m. last night got me here at about 2 a.m. this morning. But I did make it home safely, albeit exhausted, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

I woke up this morning to find a wonderful surprise in my mailbox. I got a RAK (random act of kindness) from designer Donna Duncombe. Isn't the Blessed Be kit awesome? I have some CT stuff to finish up but this is next on my list to play with after I get those done. Thanks, Donna for making my day!


OK - back to "Are We There Yet" . . .I am always looking for a good kid-themed travel kit so when this one by Teri Mayo hit the store at Pretty Scrappy I couldn't resist it.

Have a great weekend!
