April Challenge

The April Challenge was to complete a kit. I have had a mini-book kit for a couple of years I have wanted to complete and I thought our recent Easter pictures would be perfect for this project. Michele at the Scrap Shoppe has a monthly challenge so join us in crafting our stash and see what the challenge will be for May. Here are some pictures for what I completed this month.



This shows some of the items in the kit and the front of my completed book.

Here are the rest of the pages in my mini-book:

I noticed taking a picture of the original picture did not turn out that great but I hope this will get your creativiT going. I would encourage you to pull out a kit you have not completed and start working on it. I made myself complete this one wihout spending tons of time worrying about what to put on the page because I find that I start to get overwhelmed and walk away from a project so remember the most important part is to have fun doing what you enjoy and capturing the memories.

Happy Crafting!

Weekend Getaway

This weekend Jessicia and I headed to the Smoky Mountains for the Women of Joy conference. We had an amazing trip, the weather was beautiful (Sunday was a little cool), and the conference was the best it has been in a few years. The speakers were great this year – Lysa TerKeurst, Sheri Rose Shepherd, comic relief from Anita Renfroe, and my all time favorite speaker and writer Angela Thomas. The weekend included great music from Charles Billingsley and a wonderful concert with Chris Tomlin and Christy Nockels. It was a great getaway and a very refreshing trip.

While away we also had time to go shopping and no trip is complete to Sevierville without going to Your Scrapbook Superstore and Clearance Store. My favorite place is the clearance store where EVERYTHING is 50% off the original price – let’s just say I spent a while in this store and came out with some really great buys. On Saturday we hit the Tanger mall for a little more shopping. It was a wonderful weekend and nice to get away for a few days.

While the girls were away the boys decided to play as well. Ty is into trains so they went to see the train in Nashville and feed the geese.



This weekend I will be working to finish my April Challenge - what craftiness will you be doing this weekend?
