7/8/13 - Scrappy Weekend w/ Page Maps


Hello!
I just had a 4 day weekend!
It was a really good weekend!
Besides just an overall feeling of much needed fun and relaxation, I was able to get some scrapbooking in.  I created 5 layouts: 1 for a blog challenge, which I shared yesterday, 1 for a DT challenge, which I will share Thursday, and 3 for a challenge over at Scrapbook.com.
 
The challenge is a "Page Maps" challenge which is basically a sketch challenge.
I'll be sharing those 3 today layouts today along w/ the sketches that inspired them.
 
Page Map #1
 

"BullzEye"
Journaling: Since the Hunger Games came out Jospeh has been into archery and
wanting his own archery set. While on vacation in Ohio he finally got one. 7/3/13"
 
My son is on vacation in Ohio right now and he sent me the picturess via cell and I printed them and scrapped them and sent him a picture of the completed layout. I love how technology can provide instant gratification!
 
 
Page Map #2
 
 
"Keeping Warm"
Journaling: "My Spirit Hood and a cup of hot chocolate
keeping me warm in Oak Glen 12/16/13"
 
This layout I flipped and removed some of, what I consider, some of the distracting elements of the sketch.
 
Page Map #3
 
"San Jacinto Pt.2"
 
This layout goes w/ another similar layout, a layout I created of the same day/time while on our trip to Palm Springs this past Spring Break, that's why it has a weird title. (See below for the other layout I created prior to this...probably the closest I will ever get to a 2-pager!)
 
I may go back and fix the picture on the right hand side though, as I look at it now, it's a little to slanted for my taste.
 
"San Jacinto Pt. 1"
 
 
I really enjoyed the free time to relax and scrap and actually enjoy life.
I wish every week had a 4 day weekend!!!
 
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Fabulous!! I love seeing how you change up the sketches. I usually remove 'distracting elements' too. As for that last one, I'm calling it a 2-pager! Didn't think I'd ever see that!
