Z Pink Boudoir

My Life and Scrap; the site with a lot of heart, has awesome challenges that run twice a month.

This month, I joined the Gourmet Scrapping Challenge and I tried my best not to go wild with the elements and stick to the Challenge.

And this is the LO that I came up with.  I call it in Flight and I kept it really simple and bright and I used everything from Scrapberry Designs!  This butterfly photo was taken at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum by me, of course…teeeheee

Merkee’s Spotlight at Oscraps is almost coming to a close! Don’t forget to drop by the Merkeley Designs Blog Train and grab the awesome freebies for you!

For her Spotlight at Oscraps this Week, Merkee has set up a challenge with AWESOME prizes when you join!

Your Challenge This Week

- Scrap a “past” event/time that marked a very special moment, achievement or get together in your life or the life/lives of someone you care about.

This can be a milestone birthday, anniversary, graduation, babies first steps, special award etc. (Anything that is a “Kodak” moment you don’t want to forget!)

- Use at least 50 percent of Merkeley’s stuff (keep reading….she’s got a great freebie for you) and as always, 100 percent of Oscraps stuff. (Dig into your Oscraps stash and have fun!) (Remember photo actions don’t count).
Edited to add: You may use the blog train element/alpha freebies but NOT the Quick Pages. Your layouts need to be created from scratch.

Note: Any Merkeley Designs products will work, you don’t have to use the freebie…just her stuff!

- Post your layout in the Oscraps Designer Spotlight gallery.

- Come back to this thread and post a link to your image (and the pic please if you know how) so we can leave you some lovin’ in the comments.

- Post all layouts by Sunday, Aug. 2 (midnight EST-USA time zone please).

Isn’t this AMAZING?!  Hurry now before you miss this awesome opportunity!  Anyway, for this challenge, I did a LO with my friends from High School.  Of course we’re still friends today even though all of us don’t live in the same city.  This photo was taken in our sophomore year in college back in 2002.  We also had different Majors but we still found time to be together, glam shots and all.

I Used:
Background Paper: Making Memories
Additional Papers, Green Curl, Button: Sharon
Additional Papers: Get Together
Purple Paper Piece: Hey Lady
Alpha, Stitches: Chocolate Charms
