Scrap-lifted this weekend

So I saw the cutest layout looking through an older issue of CK (July 2010)

So I decided to scrap-lift it.  I really like the way it turned out... sorry about the picture... it looks a lot greener then it is... it really is brown with blue dots and blue green paper and green lettering... I used my (new) camera phone at night with out the flash...Just to let you know how I made this lift my own... is by changing the colors of the layout... different sized photos then the original LO, different paper boarders and flowers etc....

What have you scrap-lifted lately? 

Simple Layout

Here is a simple layout I did with extra Valentine decor and scraps that I had...
I am taking an online FREE course at Big Picture about Embarrassing the Imperfections... so this is a layout for that class as well.
I think I need a black flower under the pink one... what do you think???

A Layout

I recently went home to CA for my older daughters birthday.... and when I came home I challenged myself to do a simple layout with all the pictures (jumbo wallet size) and with stuff I had on hand of her Dinner at Claim Jumper....This is what I came up with...well I had help from a 6 year old who is loving scrapbooking.
I am also trying to make little challenges for myself weekly... so I will be back with more soon!  Need to go make Valentine goodies....
