Weekend Wrapup

Did you all have a nice National Scrapbooking Day? I went to my local scrap store, Chasing Rainbows, as usual. Lots of laughs and eating where done by all and even some scrapping! I managed to do a couple of layouts and then get caught up on my Everyday Adventures class. 

This first lo is the first challenge in my Log Your Memories challenges. Yes I'm a bit behind in starting this project. Suppose to be a challenge a week for a year and I'm just starting. hehe. I had to come up with 100 things I wanted to do before I died. These are just the things that came off the top of my head. There are MANY more. I even forgot to put one of the things I've been dying to do and that is ride a horse.

This next lo was for the sketch contest the store had this weekend. I used some fun Doodlebug papers and some pics of Windsor 'hiding' in the flowers I was trying to photograph the other day. Such a silly one he is.
Next are my Everyday Adventure assignments. I like how they make me look at the world a bit different.

Everyday Adventures

You KNOW you want them. Just go ahead and admit it. Flower POWER! No these are not the latest fashion trend in summer eyewear UNLESS you are taking Everyday Adventures over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. These are my Goggles of Enhanced Perception. The class is based on the "How To Be An Explorer of The World" by Keri Smith. We also had to make a field journal to write down our observations. Here's a couple of other pics of my glasses too:
 I'm already having lots of fun with this class and I'll show you some of our 'adventures' in a couple of days.
I've also been trying to catch up on some art journaling prompts from both Your Life Spelled Out and A Year In The Life art journal sites.

My Voice

Ouch

I Am Not Afraid

Un
Soar
Move
And also here is this weeks Scrapperie Book of Me prompt: Pet Peeves or #PunchInTheFace. My friend Laura (Cameron_Crazy) was ticked about something one day and started the hashtag of #punchintheface. Well it's caught on with our little group when someone ticks us off or there's a situation we don't like we give it a virtual punch. 
 Ok that's it for the week. I've been a crafty busy girl! And lots more to do this week with birthday presents to make and kits to design with and art journal prompts to host & National Scrapbook Day next weekend. So go get your craft on!
