UmWow!

I've gone from wowziers to UmWow! As in Deedee's UmWow Studio where I won the monthly sponsor prize for the two page layout I did of my daughter's first year playing soccer. Each page was submitted in January to a separate UmWow Sketch Mania challenge.

Thank you for the honor Deedee. And thank you for raiding your Etsy shop (which is also called UmWow Studio) for the prize! I can't wait to see what you'll be sending!

If you haven't checked out her shop, click here to take a look at Deedee's cool handmade embellishments and cards. In my opinion, her paper flowers are absolutely gorgeous!

Wowzers!

I was the randomly selected winner on a Latte Lounge challenge and won two digi stamps from The Stamping Boutique!

Little Drummer

I liked the Fun with Bubbles LO so much I decided to make a corresponding 2nd page. I'm entering it in the same challenges as the first LO: Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo #46 and XOXO's scraplift challenge #15 which is sponsored by Sweet Peach Crop Shop. My inspiration came from Shannon Blinn's New Perspective LO.

Fun With Bubbles

We were able to capture my daughters first experience with bubble on film. At first they made her giggle and then they sparked her curiosity.

I'm submitting this LO in two challenges - Picture Perfect Creations Color Combo #46 and XOXO's scraplift challenge #15 which is sponsored by Sweet Peach Crop Shop. My inspiration came from Shannon Blinn's New Perspective LO.

M's 1st Christmas

I'm entering this LO of my daughter at 4 mos and her first Chrismas in the following challenges:

Stacy's Stamppin Stage Curtain Call Act 66
Unscripted Sketches #90
Paper Cutz #75

Sweet Life

The first 3 grandchildren in my family were girls born within 1-1/2 years of each other. My daughter was the last of the 3. The 5 which followed them were all boys. These girls were the beginning of a sweet life change for my parents.

I'm submitting these layouts to the following challenges:
Twisted Sketches #085 sketch w/a twist of white
The Pink Elephant TPE92 color combo of red, brown and pink
Critter Sketch #49 distressing and a circle.

When I was putting the LOs together I couldn't find the picture I wanted to use of my daughter which was taken the same day as the one of her cousins. I've since found it and swapped out the pics on the 'Life' page. Below is the final version of that page.

Mom

In 2003 my Mother succumb to her 8 year battle with cancer. In those 8 years she showed us how to live with dignity, love and laughter. She also showed us how to find the silver lining in every cloud. Before passing she traveled to IL to participate in the annual Ovarian Cancer Walk held there.

I'm submitting this 8x8 LO to the following:
4 Crafty Chicks Recipe Challenge #21
Sketchy Thursdays 1.20 Challenge
Color Combos Galore Challenge 176







I submitting the 2nd page to Challenge's From the Attic's Flowers from flower paper challenge.
