Football Online Crop at the Sisterhood

Just reminding you of an online crop at the Sisterhood of Scrap. We're having fun with FOOTBALL, even though there are many of us who can't stand the game, and know very little about it! LOL Myself included :-)

Here are some of the challenges posted:

RUNNING BACK --  I want to see some type of "running" stitch on your layout. Can be real or faux

GRIDIRON -- For this challenge it is only fitting to use a "grid" of some sort on your playing field!

PIGSKIN -- For this challenge, I want to see a layout using Kraft/brown cardstock as your background paper PLUS you must show some sort of lacing technique.

 
TACKLE -- Let's see some "piling on" with this challenge. Layer your paper, or layer embellishments.

Check the forum for more challenges, games, and see the awesome prizes that are up for grabs! You have until midnight, Oct. 2nd to upload your projects.

The challenge was:

Workout #50- Be Inspired By A Book!

I love books, especially kids books! They are great for little minds and they can also be great to spark your crafty creativity! Use the book cover below to inspire your next layout! Use the design of the cover, the color or the vintage vibe – be creative!

 

Check the ScrapFIT blog to see the book cover.

 

Here's my layout. I just love this pic of Devin helping Benjamin with his necktie. Benjamin was heading off to cadet camp for 2 weeks -- certainly an adventure!

First workout at ScrapFIT!

So excited to be part of this first reveal at ScrapFIT! The challengewas to "put a banner on it".

This was my take on the challenge. The photos were a bit dark, but I really wanted to use them; took these last summer when our youngest went off to Air Cadet Camp for the first time.

a few cards

Just wanted to share a few of my recent cards. I've been making more lately -- I love that I can use up little bits and pieces of my scrap supplies :-)

SCRAPFIT challenges

Thought I'd try a couple of these challenges this month :-) They have some wonderful sponsors! Scrapbook Circle is donating a kit, and  there's also a digital kit from Chelle's Creations.

This layout is for Workout #45 -- use a household item on your layout. I used a medicine cup to stamp circles on my page.

Workout #46 has to do with school supplies/theme. This layout is about my son's fascination with numbers! I used a transparency, in which I copied some of my son's math problems.

Thanks for looking!

You are invited....

to Sisterhood of Scrap's FOURTH Birthday Party! Grab a friend and come join us for a week-long event. Lots of fun challenges, games and sur-PRIZES!
