I didn't get much scrapping done this week because I threw my back out last weekend and our regular church craft nights, where I usually get a lot of stuff done, have been "Prep for VBS" nights instead. :-)
Although I didn't do this week's Sunday Scrappin' challenge, working chronologically keeps me inspired and these were the next pictures on my list! If you want to talk about challenges though, my sil, Leah, has commented a couple of times about how she likes that I usually use non-traditional colors for Christmas layouts. So I've begun challenging myself to do so whenever I can. The 3 page Christmas LO I did this week was aqua blue, neon green and bright yellow with a touch hot pink and orange.
I want to invite all of my readers to participate. If you like to scrapbook and are interested (to more people we have, the more fun it'll be!) use the sketch in the picture as an inspiration for your own page. You have about two weeks to complete it...it's due on Monday, July 20th. I'm also adding a twist. The title must be at least 50% hand-done and I will also be taking into account the words themselves. Is it an especially creative or poignant title, like Toni's was in the last challenge? Or is it poetic? Especially meaningful? A clever play on words? Send a pic to my email or blog. arshuman@sbcglobal.net and feel free to invite others to participate---the more the merrier!
I finished the layout of my brother coming home from his deployment last September:
as well as a 3 page Christmas LO.

Anyway, there is a group of five of us ladies that like to scrapbook at our church. (Wani, my sis-in-law Lehi, Kara, Toni and myself) We've started informally calling ourselves the Scrappin' Sistahs and have been getting together on a semi-regular basis for over a year now. Last month, Lehi issued a challenge which Toni won. This month, I've decided to come up with a challenge for the group too. It's fun and gives us a personal goal, you know? Here's the challenge sketch and Wani's entry. (she's always the first one to complete a challenge):
And here's my page, which I completed this week. I turned in on it's side, which is why it looks different from Wani's. I hand-drew the white title on the black cardstock. The whole title reads, "Pictures of joy prove life isn't a dream":
