West Coast Scrapper

I saw this gate in my neighbor's driveway and I had to have it. They weren't home so I left a note asking if I can have it. The next day they called to let me know that I could. So, my son, Ryan, picked it up in his truck and brought it over. Now, I'm not

I was so surprised and excited to hear that I was accepted to be on the Scrap Our Stash design team.  Scrap Our Stash is a challenge blog.  More than once they have help me get out of a creative slump with their sketch, theme, and/or product challenges!  And to top it off, they give out a FABULOUS prize each month to a lucky participant.

This layout was inspired, in part, by the challenge over at Scrap Our Stash where they challenged to create a layout about 'our guys' and using 5 brads.  The only challenge for me was to find ANOTHER picture of my boyfriend that I hadn't already scrapbooked!  As for the 5 brads, this is why I love this challenge blog....I have SO MANY brads I need to use up.  I used three under the lower subtitle and two above the upper title.

Then I clicked on over to Grand Diva's Creative Corner for Brenda's Sketch Challenge.  The sketch is always my starting point for scrapbooking inspiration.

And then, what do you know, I also qualified for Kery's challenge over at her Scrappin' n' Happy blog.  She has a 'recipe' challenge of using three pattern papers, twine and washi.  Done!

Most, if not all, the paper used in this layout was from my Studio Calico scrapbook kits.  Gawd, I love my kits!

This isn't helping me get sleepy. Its making me want to get up and scrap! Instagram is inspiring! #wcs

Major #fail #cameosilhouette The mat is TOO STICKY it's taking me an hour to get the paper off and all my cuts are ruined. Maybe the next cut will be better since the mat will be less sticky. #wcs
