The challenge for this layout is to scraplift a layout with a twist. Special crop guest Relly Annett-Baker shared how she took one of Shimelle's girly layouts and changed it to create a boy-themed layout. I decided to use the same layout design that both of them used, except that mine does not have a kid theme at all. I also left out the embellishment clusters in my layout because once I had the photos & journaling, I really felt that the layout was complete.

Now on to my 500th Post Giveaway. Leave a comment below telling me how long you have been reading my blog and what you most enjoy about it to be in the draw for a miscellaneous selection of scrapbooking supplies! As I've been in such a scrapping frenzy these past few days, I've been organizing my supplies along the way and am feeling truly blessed to have such an ABUNDANCE . . . and I want to share with you! So be sure to leave a comment by noon (CST) on Wednesday, April 18, when I'll draw a random winner (or two).
Those head photos are pretty cool! I'm just stopping in from Shimelle's blog, so I've only been reading your blog for 2 days! =D
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with you Melissa - every time I check my reader there's another great page! I had to work today so am glad that the deadline for all these challenges is generous.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 500th post (makes my 200th seem sooooo small LOL) - and I know exactly when I started reading along regularly on your blog - from Shimelle's Blogging For Scrapbookers once she explained how Google Reader worked ;o)
How fun Melissa! I didn't get to scrap at all today, but I'm getting ready to spend some time working on my PL album right now before bed. I just couldn't go into next week still behind on housework that didn't get done the last couple of days! But I've enjoyed looking at all your creations. Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for maybe 2 years? Or is it just one? Don't know, but I've enjoyed it very much. I think we first met up in Shimelle's blogging for scrapbookers class maybe?
Hi Melissa! congrats on that 500th post! I've been following you for 1-2 years. My favorite thing about your blog are the wonderful layouts.

ReplyDeleteLovely layout - I love the soft clay colours you used.
ReplyDeleteI love the list of random thoughts about the photos as a journalling method - squirelled away in my ideas folder now
ReplyDeleteI've had you on my google reader since Shimelle's blogging class
The thing I enjoy most about your blog is summed up in your header photo - the sunny disposition you bring to everything that you write about

Wow, could the papers you have chosen be any more perfect for those photos?
ReplyDeleteMany congrats on 500 posts - that's a fine achievement! When did I start reading? Now you've got me! It's been a while, that I do know.
Here's to another 500 (at the very least..)
Perfect papers for the photos,Melissa.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 500th post....I think I've been following you for about a year....and really enjoy the variety in your posts....and, of course, the wonderful layouts.
Congrats on your 500th post!! I've been following your blog for over a year. You have great layouts!
ReplyDeleteHiya and congrats on 500 wonderful posts! I am not sure how long I have been following your wonderfully smiling happy blog but guess it might be a year now?? Here's to many more xxx
ReplyDelete500 posts - congrats. I'm not sure how long I've been reading, but I do know yours is one of the first blogs I started following. We probably "met" in a Big Picture class. I like that you are such a prolific scrapper - I also enjoy seeing your pages.
ReplyDeleteBFS definitely brought quite a few of us together. I am thinking that's been a good two years, right? I always enjoy your layouts, your journaling and your stories but the thing I love is the beautiful and sweet spirit that shines through in your posts. Congrats on now having 500+ posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I came upon your blog through Shimelle, I think less than a year ago but time goes so quickly! I look forward to seeing more of your layouts and organisation skills, you put me to shame!!
