Hot Hot HOT Potato!

I participated in a challenge over at Scrapping Fairy Tales last month called Hot Potato. We each provided a photo that we want another scrapper to create a layout for. We then grab the photo posted by the person who posted before us and use it for a layout. 

The photo I took was from LLPooh1 and here is the layout I made for her:

And here is the layout created for my krystlbear made for me using my photo:

I love this challenge and it was the first time I made a layout for someone else, thinking about what they would like, the story behind the photo. And it was also fun to see someone else's take on the photo I provided.

Grandma's Sister

Are you getting tired of Andrea's photos yet? I'm trying to dig up photos of other subjects, I swear! And since I have scanned photos from my grandmother's album, I think I'll go on a vintage spree this month.

This is a photo of my grandmother's sister. I initially thought this was my grandmother since it looks like but also looks a little different. My mom confirmed that this is one of my grandmother's sisters.

I made this layout for Scrap From France's mini kit Challenge for September.

Chubby Cheeks

I made a list of challenges I want to participate in for the month of September. It's a looooong list... :-/ And I just made an inventory... I still have 255 unused digital scrapbooking kits. I... I still don't know how I managed to accumulate that many. When I like something, and it's free, it's hard to say no. I'm always thinking that I might need it in the future. But having this many kits in my stash makes it hard to search for a kit to use when I do want to scrap.

I'm thinking I might just focus on my CT work this month. But let's see how far I go on my challenges list. 

Anyway...

Elements from: Une Chanson Douce collaboration kit by Lexine Scrap and Pitchouk82, Scraplifted from layout by Stephanie

This is one of my favorite photos of Andre when she was a baby. Makes me wonder where did all that cheek go??? She lost weight when she started on solids and I guess most of that weight was from her cheeks :)
