Talking Scrap Trash

One of my favorite things to do to motivate my scrapping mojo is to talk trash to Mika, lol. She and I challenge each other and talk a lot about how much "we are going to get done", it is our fun little, very non-serious rivalry like two guys on the basketball court. Trust me most of the time she beats me but we can't let her know that, lol! So on my Independence "day off" I got a couple projects done (one is actually an older one that I am just posting here).



Here is my card submission for Mika's sketch challenge. I used a card embellishment kit from Michaels (thanks to my enabler friend Tiffany, lol). I am also submitting this for the July card challenge on scrapbook.com



This is my "I" layout for scrapping the alphabet. I used a line called Inque Boutique (that is no longer in business). I used some muddles on the word "art" for a sandy look. Those are actual shells from our beach visit and I misted the background for effect.



Here is my "J" layout using Jillbean Soup Pasta Fagioli. My daughter and her girlfriend were at the mall taking some fun candid shots.

And finally my "K" layout using KI Memories. Remember when colorblocking was all the rage? I tried to mix the old with the new with a banner and some twine to update this collection from my stash.
