A year later, Calvinball  (#Calvinball)has begun again.  Here are my creations for the first 4 days:

From the Memorial for our friend and mentor.

These two are from the hotel we stayed in when we went to see Ben

The kids took me to brunch in Mesquite for my birthday (early).  Candles are my Fire for Soul Scrappers March Survivor challenge.

Also from our trip to LA

Day after Valentine's dinner in St. George

One of my favorite jobs -- balloon service.

Also from our trip to LA

First Week of Calvinball

Calvinball is all about fun.  It's silly, it's crazy, it doesn't make a lot of sense.  It's based on the Calvin and Hobbes comic/cartoon and their game with ever-changing rules.

Here are my contributions so far:

This was my first project -- for 14 points.  It was also submitted to Scrapbook Generation's crop challenge The Red Carpet.  

Then I did a bunch of cards based on a Scrapbook Generation sketch:

the 8 cards were worth 36 points in Calvinball.  And since the wreath I used was from PI, I submitted them to the Free Cut File challenge.

Then two layouts from last night:

The two layouts were worth 23 points bringing me to a running total of 73 points.  Hardly a winning score (3 more weeks to go, though), but I'm having fun and getting stuff done.  

The Rustic Christmas layout was based on a sketch/challenge over at Scrap Our Stash and I also submitted it to Paper Issue for the Even Your Odds challenge

Wanna Go For a Ride was also submitted to PI for the  Secret Life of Pets challenge.  

Undecorating and a Challenge

 Here's a layout I created based on a sketch over at Let's Get Sketch: 

This was just fun.  Putting away Christmas isn't fun, but by the end of the holidays, I'm ready to.  

I still play along at variety of places -- like Paper Issues, Scrapbook Generation, Sketch and Scrap, Scrap and Chat. And I found a new place, Home & Scrapped on FB.  

 And coming up in March is Calvinball!  It has a new a host, as Get It Scrapped is shutting down pretty much.  It will be on Scrap Happy this year.  Looking forward to scrappy mayhem.

January 2019--First post

Now that fourth quarter is over, I've been spending more time scrapping.  Here is one for a challenge at Sketch -N- Scrap: 

David and I take advantage of the photo op at the Visitor Center and Frontier Homestead Park night of lights.  The lights were pretty and it was a fun evening.    And I love sketches a inspiration for my scrapping!

End of the Year 2018

My last blog post of the year -- and the last layout challenge of the year and a card!  For the Sketch and Scrap December 1 challenge : 

I love using sketches -- my layouts go together so much faster and easier.  And here's a card from a sketch at the Sketch and Scrap Merry and Bright crop:

Looking forward to another crafty year in 2019!

Just a quick post for a Sketch Challenge over on Let's Get Sketchy.  Loved this month's sketch and glad I got to play along.  Got to run -- 'tis the Season.

Calvinball 2 and more challenges

Calvinball continues -- and one of these Fridays I'm going to remember to upload my counts and actually get counted in the game!  hahahaha.  Fridays are busy.

So here are some layouts for other challenges:  Most of these photos are from Scott and Igrid's engagement trip to Antelope Canyon. 

This was for a challenge from Paper Issues  and an Old Stuff Challenge at Scrap N Chat:

 This one is some sorta "left over photos" from their engagement trip -- and again a mood board challenge at PI and a color challenge (purple, green, gold for Mardi Gras) at Scrap N Chat

I used a two page sketch from Scrap Squad for this layout:

And a one page sketch for this one (also Scrap Squad) which was for a black and white challenge at PI:

These two pages go together but were for separate challenges.  This one was for Put it on an Angle at PI and the Pi challenge at Scrap N Chat (there had to be 3 of one item, 1 of another, 4 of another, etc. out to 8 places of Pi:  3.1415926).  I also used a sketch from Stuck?! Sketches

this was for the Tell me a Story challenge at PI.

I haven't totalled all of these up yet for Calvinball -- that's my next stop.  Thanks for stopping by!
