The Life Of A Modern Day Hippie: Scrappin' Saturday

Once again I took advantage of my mojo and had a blast working on some scrapbook pages for the portfolio challenges at Sweet Shoppe Designs and also for my creative teams and even tried my hand at "hybrid". I was a little nervous with the hybrid project but it was super easy and I can see myself doing more hybrid in the future.

I made bookmarks for each of us... this was so much fun and helped to use up some of the mini-kits in my unused kits folder.

bookmark tempates from Zoe Pearn's blog by Keely~B
1) Smart and Pretty by Jenn Barrette (2010 QA, vol 3)
Suzy Q alpha by CD Muckosky
2) My Way or the Highway by Misty Cato (retired, 2010 summer sampler)
3) This Little Piggy by Lliella Designs (2010 QA, vol 3)
4) It's a Guy Thing by Dani Mogstad and Shawna Clingerman
Extras:
M chipboard sticker
Color Box chalk inkpad
random ribbon from around the house

this next one was to only scrap in the corners of the pages

this next challenge is to create 2 pages using the same template but to flip or spin the template for the second page...

and the second page uses Melissa's new release for today and a re-release from Darcy

this one is probably my fave for the week and it was to scrap a page about a life lesson you've learned and uses a re-release from Darcy.

Journaling reads:
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in life is that it’s really short. I never realized it until I had you kids and watching you grow up into bigger kids. It really seems like yesterday when you were born and that infant stage is just so short. I know it doesn’t exactly feel like it when we’re in the middle of each phase of life but that first year goes by too fast. I try to get as many cuddles in as I can because I know that one day you’ll want to be totally independent and won’t want me giving you kisses and hugs all the time, especially in public. I know there will be a day that you’ll be leaving the house on your own and becoming the grown up you’re supposed to be. For now I’m going to keep you close and love on you as much as you’ll let me. I also want you to be able to be a kid as long as possible. One day you will have to grow up and do adult things but for now you just enjoy being a kid, ok? If you could just let mama love on you for a few more years, that would make me really happy too, ok? XOXO

and this one was a prompt to scrap "Teacher"
