Insomnia? No Problem! Scrap!!! LOL

Good Morning everyone! Well, I was home alone last night and just could not sleep. So what to do?? Scrap, of course! LOL. I am so behind on my challenges for the month, so I decided to get some of those done.

This first layout is doing Triple-duty for me! Whoo hoo! First, I am using it for Prompt #15 at Gutter Girlz. The prompt this time included 'Stronger Woman.' Well when I thought about this, I knew I had to scrap about my bff, my mom. She is such an amazing woman. I am a strong woman today because of her. I have her to thank for almost everything! I love her very much and I hope this layout will pay tribute to her. I also am using this for 2 challenges at Treasured Scrapbooking...one is a sketch challenge and the other was to use 'cutwork' on your layout. I also wanted to point out this cute paper!!! I am in love with this paper! It is a DCWV stack and it is so darn cute!!!! I used it twice tonite. I used the Cricut Stone Script cart for the red lettering. I journaled around the outside edge of the layout and that journaling says:
"My hero and my role model is my very best friend, my mother. She is such an amazing woman. She is a wonderful wife, mother, teacher, and friend. She has always been there for me and for that I am forever grateful. I hope she will always know how much she means to me!"
Then, I also journaled by the side of the pic. That journaling reads:
"Mom, As I sit here working on this layout, memories we have made flood my mind and tears start to pool in my eyes! You are so good to me! You support and encourage me in all that I do. Why are you so good to me, Mom? I hope that I can return all that love!!!"
Here is this layout:

"I Am A Stronger Woman Because of You"

Close up of the cutwork. I also used some Stickles on the big flower for some bling.


Next, this layout is for a challenge at Treasured Scrapbooking. The challenge was to use a longer, quirky title on a layout. I just kept thinking about this photo of Carter and how he is such a goofy goober, as we call him. That child cracks me up! So I had to scrap this. I used Home Accents for the flourish. I also used more of that cute paper!! Then I decided to use up some odd lettering and chipboard too. I journaled around the circle and it reads:
"Carter is always doing something to make us laugh! He really is the funniest kid I've ever met! He is the biggest goober!"
LOL! Crackin' me up this morning! I hope my SIL will see this! I think it would make her smile! So mom, if you are reading this, pass this along to Caressa! ;) Here is the layout:

"You're A Goofy Goober"


Isn't this the goofiest, but cutest looking critter?! Ha ha ha

Last, this layout is doing double duty for more challenges. I am using it for this month's sketch challenge and Debbie's 'Time' Challenge on Treasured Scrapbooking. The sketch involved alot of circles. Debbie's Challenge was to use the word 'time' somewhere on the layout and to use a clock. I cut the clock out with the Happily Ever After cartridge. The flourishes around the clock were cut with Home Accents and the title was cut with Stone Script. I don't know if you can tell, but I used stickles over the word 'everything' to really emphasize that part. Time spent with my husband truly means EVERYTHING to me!!!!! The little pink dots you see are pink pearls. Here is this one:

"Time Spent With You Means Everything To Me"



So, all in all, I was able to complete 6 challenges!!! Whoo Hoo! It feels so good to be catching up!!! I hope all of you have a wonderful week! Take care and thank you, as always, for stopping by!
Hugs,
