Welcome to the June Pep Rally!!! Time for SHOW and TELL!!!




If you've come to this post via Scrappin Madge, you have made it to the next stop on your bloghop, if not... why don't you mosey on over to Clique Kits and stroll through, there will be a giveaway!

I've almost used up this amazing June kit this month. I had one full sheet of paper and some scraps left along with some of the embellies that came with the kit and some die cut images that I had cut out right away. The theme of this month's blog share is Show and Tell/My favorite things. I decided to challenge myself and just make a layout about stuff I'm into right now. There is a list of my current favorite foods at the top right, the middle holds my favorite things to do for fun right now and my favorite scrappy trends. I used that last full sheet of paper in it's awesomeness and layered my scraps underneath. I scattered around some printables and a cut file or two, did some watercoloring and painting, took out some wood veneer hearts by Pinkfresh Studio from a previous kit and WHA-LA! 

Please to enjoy (I also added a tidbit from the June store offerings, it's from Ellie's Studio and super cute!)




I think it's a great idea to challenge yourself or step out of your own comfort zone every now and again. I've had a summer cold for the last several days and it's been a challenge to sit at the table to do anything! I'm now feeling better and up to scrapping! I'm so excited about today because I'm off work, I have some old photos of my father from when he was in Vietnam and I've talked to him on the phone and I have stories to log about these photos so tomorrow I'll be challenging myself to write about photos that don't have my own memories, but instead I'll be preserving the memories that he shared with me about those photos! It's all very exciting and I hope you have fun getting inspired by everyone! Have fun hopping along!

Here is the blogroll:

  8. Awesome layout - I am so inspired by all you ladies using bright, bold patterns as backgrounds. I think you're right, I need to challenge myself to step out of my scrappy comfort zone. Thanks for the inspiration!
