{52 Inspirations} Week Thirty One

So I started working backwards AND forwards this week on 52 Inspirations! I don't want to get further behind, so I'll be working on the current week's kits as well as working on the early kits to get caught up.

So Week 31 was designed my Vicki Stegall, and I have to admit- I couldn't resist re-coloring one of the papers to charcoal grey, because yellow and grey is one of my FAVORITE combinations! So without further ado....

The kit/inspiration:

{52 Inspirations} Week Four

A New Kit = Three New Layouts!

I loved the soft color palette in the "On the Road" kit by Scooty's Designs over at TwoLittlePixels.com, so I picked it up and started scrapping pics from our recent trip to California.

Here's the kit:


And here are my layouts:

Coffee Cup Challenge by DigitalScrapCafe.com

This month I participated in the "Coffee Cup" challenge from digitalscrapcafe.com. The challenge was to create a layout using 1) a math symbol 2) extraction and 3)journaling. I created two layouts for the challenge:


This one I did using the template provided:


This one I made up on my own:


Thanks for the great challenge! It was fun!

{Week 3} Messes= Life True and Real

Week 3 of 52 Inspirations is about real life. Well when you have a two year old, messes are real life! This week's kit inspired me to showcase the pictures I took when Jules got into baby powder and made a huge mess in the bedroom.

This week's kit:


My Layout:

{52 Inspirations} Week Two

This week's inspiration was about life inspired. I'm inspired to live a better life every day just by looking at Jules' sweet face. So I kept this week pure and simple.

Here's the kit:

{52 Inspirations} Week One

52 Inspirations

So this past weekend I stumbled across something called "52 Inspirations" from Oscraps.com.



It's basically a one year subscription where you receive a new digital mini kit full of inspiration for the scrapping a layout that week. I really needed this inspiration because it's August and I've done hardly ANY scrapping this year, which equals lost memories of Jules that I "think" I will remember, but 20 years from now I won't. So I signed up for the subscription, and will be working to get caught up! We are currently on week 31, and I'm just starting, but hey- who doesn't love a challenge? :-)
