Over at ScrapHappy, there are 30 minute scrapbook page challenges on Thursdays. This is my first one. This week the challenge was:
create a layout in 30 minutes or less using:
-Something that’s been in your stash for a L-O-N-G time
-A wallet-sized photo (you can use more, but at least one photo of this size)
-Your happy color!
I love these car pictures that my son took last year, and somehow this challenge made me think of them.
Layout created in 30 minutes? Check
Something in my stash a long time? The sticker letters have been in my stash for 6 years. Check (This was hard, as I don’t keep many things long, I tend to buy what I need and only have a small stash.)
Wallet size? Check
Happy Colour? I love green! Check
I drove some of my son’s cars on my black ink and then across the page — too fun. The paper comes from a giant box of decorative papers my friend got me (from C*co, I believe) for my birthday this year.
I have blocked my son’s name with that little piece of paper, and also my scanner is only 11.69 inches, so it cuts off the bottom edge. But I am very proud of myself that I finally figured out how to stitch a layout together after scanning it in two parts!
Thanks for the challenge, ScrapHappy. Just what I needed today.
Love this…especially nice your son took the photos! Kristen S

This is fantastic, Kate! And the “wheel obsession” really cracks me up. Wow. You do good work.
