July 4 - Kabobs!

Today I am sharing my August 1st challenge page at Kitchen Keepsake. And the RAK winner! Woohoo!!

So my challenge for August is to use a date or time as your title!
It was perfect for this page of the kids eating their red, white & blue kabobs on July 4th. We were waiting for the parade and fireworks.

There are so many ways you can do this challenge. I'd love to see how you do it! Come on over to the forum and join us.

And now on to the winner of my RAK. Thanks for everybody who commented and followed.

Random.org picked #9 for me...

so congrats Jackie Plank. 

If you will pm me through the forum and I'll get it out to you!

If you are following the order, you should have arrived here from Janet's blog. If not, be sure to head back over there and all the ones before so you have a chance to win all of the prizes.

I am lucky to be a member of the design team at Kitchen Keepsake. And what a fun forum to be part of! There are challenges posted on the 1st and 15th of each month. Some are recipe related and some not, but you don't have to scrap recipes to join in the fun. Any paper crafters are welcome and I know you will find something to inspire you. 

I am challenging you to use a rainbow on your page. It doesn't have to be a traditional arc rainbow, use ROY G BIV or anything. Just use a rainbow however it inspires you! Maybe a rainbow embellie, or a picture of a rainbow or someone wearing a rainbow shirt. 

As for me, I drew my circles then painted them in with good ol' Crayola watercolors (shhhh... don't tell the kids I borrowed their stuff). I added in some Rusty Pickle rubons, prima flowers from my stash, paint & marker splotches, doodles, stickers and bling. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope my challenge and page can inspire you somehow. :) And, since you are here I have a freebie for you! Here are two 4x6 printable recipe cards. Click on the picture below to download them. 

Now, just a few more things before you wander off (hopefully I haven't lost you already). I've got a RAK up for grabs to a lucky winner as well! Here is a sneaky peek. It is cooking/summer related, I think its perfect for this giveaway. 

Rules (gotta have 'em) ----> You have until July 31, 2014 at 12:00 midnight Eastern time to comment for a chance to win! You need to follow my blog for a chance to win my RAK. Winners will be posted on August 1st on the blogs, so make sure you follow them to get the updates!

Thank you for getting through this lengthy post! Your next stop on the hop is Shelly. She is super talented, so be sure to browse around her blog for a bit. 

Safety 1st {and a winner}

Happy Thursday Morning!

I've been in a bit of a funk the past few days. We got some news on Tuesday, that while I completely expected it, it has still thrown me 'off' just a bit. So I will admit that yesterday I sort of moped around. Add into that Grayson having a really rough day, and well, I just forgot all about it being Wednesday and that I was supposed to post a winner. I hope you will forgive me.

At any rate, today I'm sharing a digital layout I did. I recently joined the forum at A Cherry On Top and found a challenge to scraplift the guest creative team. So I snagged this great digital kit called Tuesday Morning and got to work. Here is what I came up with. The pictures are of Grayson, his safety gear and his scooter. At this point, the boy has grown so much that the helmet doesn't fit him. I guess we'll have to look into getting him another one. Sometimes I wish he would stop growing.


If you would like to see the page I lifted, you can snag a glance here.

And in case you didn't notice - that digital kit is on sale for $1. 100 pennies, 10 dimes or 4 quarters. Really, you can't beat that! I love a good sale, so I thought I would share with you guys. There are a bunch of other great kits in the 'sale bin' there as well.

Yes, I know... I made you look at the layout and read my junk first. You don't care, do you?! LOL! So let's go on and pick a winner, shall we?!

There were 22 comments on the Win It post. Some were duplicates, I took those out and there were 19 all together. Random.org picked number 10!

That would be...
