Roundup

I didn't get to crop with the ladies this month, but I think I've made up for that these past two weeks! Here's what I've been up to. I have been feeling very creative and have gotten a lot of things crossed off my scrapping to-do list.

Michelle Godin is hosting the Random Challenge at Lily Pad this month and she challenge us to make a decorated journaling card or ATC. So I came up with this ATC based on a poster I saw on Pinterest and using Micheline Martin and Laura Banasiak's Way Rad from Lily Pad.

Ok, this might be gross but I think it's hilarious. That's Randi holding up a pig snout like a mask in an attempt to gross me out at Derek's bday party last year. Credits: Valorie Wibbens' Scrappy from the Lily Pad

Here's a two-pager I didn't post in the galleries because the phots aren't exactly family friendly! I finally scrapped the photos from my awesome barbecue last summer.

I really love this page. I am so happy that Michelle is designing again and this page is inspired by her awesome papers but also by her super cool Blythe doll photos. I took this shot of Penny Jr. along with some pics of it with an LPS Blythe doll.

Here's one that I had on my to-do list for a long time. I love my little critters. I notice I have been really going through my Valorie stash lately. I really love her style.
