First Challenge @ ScrapMatters!!!!

Hi everyone!
Hope you're having a great Friday. Mine started off a little rough....four hours of sleep had me falling asleep all day at work! But...I am finally home and doing a little better.

Sooo...I am hosting my first challenge at ScrapMatters - Roadmap to Scrap. There are 8 instructions that I have given that you will use to create a page. The challenge just begun today and will be over at the end of November. You get one point for participating and you can use any kit you like. Soo dig deep into your stash...find a kit you have not touched or come check out our new releases, which are on sale,  if you feel the need for some shopping (I always do!) and create a page....

Here's a link to the challenge: Roadmap to Scrap @ ScrapMatters

Here's the page I created using Denim Days by Creations by Rachael

Hope to see you there!

And before I leave...I made 2 pages for two sets of templates that were released today which I used to make the two pages below. Please click the images for a list of credits.

Random Makeover - My Fix

Soooo...there was this kit..more like there is this kit....that I am totally in love with at Memory Scraps...
the colors...the gorgeous elements.....oohh....it just called me over and over...so I had to have it! The kit = my fix = Frolic by Misty Mareda @ Memory Scraps

I wanted to use it to scrap my daughter this Friday...she had on the most adorable pink/orange/yellow shirt with her pink leggings with the buttons down the side...well needless to say...she had an accident before I could get a photo.....soooo....I remember a layout I did back in 2009...earrlly times as far as scrapping...and I knew I had to give it a makeover....so here is my original page (please don't laugh).....

.... and my re-vamped page....

Hope everyone's Friday is going great! I know mine is...I took off work today and am sooo glad to be able to do what I want with my day. I think this has been my busiest Friday yet..finding something for Aida to wear for Halloween..having dinner with my sister and nieces and then grocery shopping...and ugh! I went in Target just to find my daughter one little T-shirt and ended up getting this:
