Amazing Race *5th Assignment*

Beware, this is a long post with a lot of pictures.  :)  And if you are looking for the Scrap and Stamp challenge post, scroll down (this is my second post of the day).  

So I can't believe we have already had 5 challenges in this Amazing Race...time has just flown by...with no time to rest.  :)  I was up rather late finishing my album last night.

The clue took us to A Million Memories, and the assignment was to use the Heart and Wing album and the Pirate Princess line.  I was nervous about this one, and started off a little blocked.  I actually ended up giving up early that first night and starting again in the morning.  That was when my mojo came and I just started having so much FUN!!!  I absolutely LOVE the way my album turned out, and I may never have bought it had I not received it in the box.  :)  

So here's all my photos...and there are a lot...

As you can see...I had a lot of fun.  :)  Tried a lot of fun techniques too (if you have any questions let me know).  Well, less than an hour until the next clue is posted for the Amazing Race...gonna hit the shower and get ready for the day.  

Scrap and Stamp Challenge....

is up!!!  Check it out here.  I hope you play along with us!  The challenge is to create a patriotic layout that uses at least one stamp.  So dig those stamps out...take fabulous pictures today, and I can't wait to see what you do!  And not only can you win a prize by participating, you could also be picked as our next guest designer!  Here's what I threw together for the challenge.  Melissa sent me those papers, buttons and brad to use.  :)

And this layout I made the other day...it doesn't include stamping, but it is patriotic.  I made it for the Reminisce contest.  I didn't win but I did get honorable mention. Check out the winners here.  

Have a great Fourth of July everyone!!!  Be safe and have fun!  :)  

My Little Shoebox + Core'dinations

Amazing Race *4th Assignment*

So I finished my second mini album for the race.  :)  First of all, the clue took us to Crop Addict.  There we found our assignment to use the layered mini album and the Chocolate Covered Cherries line of paper and make an album...any theme.  So I had fun with mine and made something I could hang on the wall...but it is still an album.  Here it is:

I was trying to make it look lke I was Lassoing Kelby.  :)

I took that picture last night with my Love sticker before I cut it and used it.  It was supposed to be "giving love away."  :)

So there you have it.  Next clue goes up in 2 hours...then I'm back to work.  Hope you all are having an awesome week!

Amazing Race *3rd Assignment*

Ok, so yesterday's clue led us to Memories From The Attic where we got our assignment.  The assignment was to create a 2 page INTERACTIVE layout using the Pop Star line from Rusty Pickle and a theme of "the perfect day."  

Yesterday was the day I was worried about.  We have had plans (tickets) for a long time for a night out.  So I was basically gone from 4pm to midnight last night.  Although I did stay up til 2:30am, it went smoother than I expected.  It all kinda just fell in place. 

So here's what I made:

The beginning:

The end:

The Spinner (yes, it works!):

The Spots:
