Scrapbook Challenges Blog Hop

Welcome to my page of the Scrapbook Challenges' Bloghop! If you've just stopped in, please start from the beginning at Brynn's blog http://bzb-designs.com/blog and I'll see you soon.



I'm a new member of the Design Team, and I'm very excited because I didn't think I'd ever be confident enough to get there! My name's Sharyn, and I live in American Samoa, married with two sons. I enjoy scrapping because I get to be creative, and I enjoy creating albums for my sons to look at and talk about.

Here's the sketch that was given to us:
























And here's my version:

As soon as I printed the photo, I thought of the spotty paper which also gave a great colour palatte to work with. The maroon background is an unusual colour for me to use, and I don't think I'll use it again in a hurry. And I am getting better with the Sew Easy, but I hope the mat arrives soon as the carpet's taking a bit of abuse.
And here are some of the great RAKs to be won on the Blog Hop! (Can anyone tell me what RAK stands for? Real Awesome Kit? Really Adventurous Karate? Ride a Kangaroo?)
1. For one person who leaves a comment on all the blogs in the hop, they will get the Salt Air Collection from Cosmo Cricket.
2. For one person who does a layout based on the sketch and posts in the HOP ON section, will receive a $20.00 USD Gift Certificate to Scrapbook.com.

3. For inviting people to join the group one person will receive a mix of alcohol ink goodies from Ranger.
4. One new member over the weekend will receive a mix of alcohol ink goodies from Ranger.

Thanks for stopping by. Your next stop is Marilyn's blog at http://marilynrivera.blogspot.com/. See you there!

    I hope you do use maroon again as a background. I think it looks great! The stitching is terrific too.
