A Tale of Two Brendas


I had to scrap a challenge this week about a person who said or did something that impacted my life in a major way. I chose to tell about the crazy decision to move to Texas with the other Brenda, Brenda Skinner, because it not only impacted my life, but also Jill's, since she followed my path about three years later. Brenda and I reconnected on Facebook after losing touch for a long time. She now lives in Ohio and we got to meet each other's families this summer. The page is Orange and Brown for a BGSU tribute.

My favorite ever!!!


For this challenge, I was supposed to use an entire pack of embellishments I've been saving...intead I used this beautiful patterned paper that I was afraid to cut up...I tried to use every last scrap of it. I love how the colors coordinated with their fairy costumes...and these are probably my favorite photos ever of the girls, taken of course by Amy.








This is one of my favorite scrapbook pages ever...it is so fun! It was inspired by the challenge to pick a song that gets you going...so I came up with a high school oldie...It Takes Two...and I had these photos laying around for a while wanting inspiration...and wallah!!!




Scrappin the Day Away!










Here are my latest pages...they are actually from last week but I forgot to post. So I will post these then continue on with my next challenges!




The first one is from the challenge to scrap a funny story...so of course I used Payton. So many stories to share with her, but I chose the Tiny Trumpet Christmas story and used a quote bubble for her own words to be remembered....I am loving my tiny flowers I made with my cricut. Payton also signed her own name on this page. If you click on the photos they will enlarge and you can read the journaling!




The second is my pop culture page...I recreated the page to remember the snuggies...and I tried to make the page look like the Snuggie box.




The third is the NO plain paper page...it was tough!!! This is Carsyn's dance recital last year. Even though I wanted some more words at the bottom, I think it is beautiful!
