My February Reveal at Scrapbook Nerd!

It is really February 9th?  The winter is just flying by!!  This month I had some yummy Crate Paper Flea Market to play with.  I really love this collection (well, I love all of Crate Paper's collections)!  LOL

As soon as I saw this beautiful distressed wood paper I knew I wanted to use it as a background!





My next LO was also a valentines week post, I love pink!!








Then I decided to do a mini year in review album.  I love how it turned out.  I usually struggle with mini albums but this one went really well!

52 week photography challenge!

I've decided to participate in a 52 week photography challenge this year.  I'm getting lazy with my camera, I'm using my auto settings more than my manual lately.  This just might be what I need to get me thinking out of the box.  Here are the first 4 weeks of the challenge:

Week 1 - Shooting from different angles



Week 2 - Leading lines



Week 3 - Nighttime shooting



Week 4 - Negative space

January reveal at Scrapbook Nerd!

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had amazing holidays!  Mine were awesome but I'm looking forward to the normal routine to start again.  Too much eating and staying up late!  lol

This month at Scrapbook Nerd I was given the beautiful Fancy Pants Collecting Moments collection to work with.  It is a very pretty and soft collection.

I just love this pink woodgrain paper!


For my next LO, I was challenges to use confetti.  I created a "confetti" look with some Heidi Swapp mist.


I also received these cute little frames in my kit.  As soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to create a LO with the frames as the main focus.


Finally I decided to make a few birthday cards with my leftover scraps.
