Happy Monday Sweet Shoppers!

We're well past the half-way mark this month! How are things going for you with our awesome Bingo challenges!

It has been SOOO exciting to see so many of your amazing pages each week and this week we want to know what you guys are shooting for when you post your pages. Are you going for blackout, a pattern, just a simple bingo? Let us know what you are planning!

While you ponder, look over this week's gorgeous inspiration from our incredible SugarBabes!

#3: I love Aly's gallery, so when I saw this challenge, I knew immediately that I wanted to lift one of her layouts. Her pages are always so full of detail, and I absolutely adore her layering, and ability to scrap multiple photos while still keeping the focus of the page on the photos. I chose to lift her gorgeous layout Mr. Moody, and spun it clockwise.

This week I chose to do #1 - 'this year I am going to'... I wanted to scrap about my goals for the year. I'm not big on resolutions, but I like the idea of having some of my thoughts written down so that I can look at them every once in awhile and remember the things I want to focus on in 2015!

Make 1/3 of your page a really big title....I always look at paper scrapbook pages with larger titles and fall in love with them. These stamps by Cindy made making a really large title flawless!

For me this month could have gone for either square, but I lifted myself. I love, love, love looking back through my own gallery and the pages I have made. And, let's be honest, we all think our OWN kids make the cutest pages. :) I think it is the best to lift yourself, because who scraps more like you than you? You can be your own best inspiration. :)

I did a spin-a-lift of this layout: Trick or Treat

 
I've got 2 layouts done so far for the Bingo challenges :) Yay me!

First one up is " An Icy Color Scheme." Living in the midwest means I have a plethora of winter photos! I love this one from this past Christmas of us standing on a pond. I thought Kristin's new release Winter Blues would be perfect match with the blues of the ice. And of course I wanted to have fun with the title! I used Shawna's A Little Bit of This - Simple Statement Alpha and Chippy Alphas - Neutral along with one of the alphas included in the kit. I love it :)



For my 2nd challenge layout - I choose to scraplift myself! Though this page first started out being for the big title challenge - I just couldn't get it to work! I decided to lift Hello Friend . I absolutely adore this photo of my boys with their Mickey's and Melissa's kit was a perfect match!

This week I got three done! The first is for the "Hello 2015" because I do PL and well, it was a fitting page. lol


The second I chose to do was the scraplift yourself. I think that it took me almost as long to pick out which page to lift as it did to actually make the page. lol! I ended up going with one of my absolute favorite pages that I have never been brave enough to tackle re-creating. It was one of the first pages that I added my own doodles to, so I thought it would be fun to try it out again. The doodles are parts to one of my favorite songs "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar.

New Lift:


and lastly... I did the challenge for combining a script and serif font together on your page. I used them to do the boys' names. I didn't really have any journaling to add to the page, but still wanted to make the names a little different, so it was perfect for the challenge.

OK- I got another one done for the challenges. This one was for flip a template. I adore templates, because they help me when my brain is stuck, and of course I always ADORE every single thing that Cindy makes. This is her new set this week Template Set #190. I flipped it counter-clockwise. Some of the reasons I like to flip a template are to make it more my own and also to incorporate the photo orientation I want to use. Sometimes I love a template, but the photos are vertical and I need horizontal, or vice versa... such a great way to use the photos I want, and the starting point of an awesome design! :)

 
I also did #4 this week: Use at least four 3x4 pocket cards on a page. I don't scrap pocket pages or Project Life, so it's not very often that I get use pocket cards on a page, other than as a journaling card, and there are so many gorgeous ones out there that I've often wanted to use, but didn't know where to start. I especially love Cindy's layered cards - they come in so many varieties that there's something to suit everyone. So when I saw this challenge, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to use a few on one page, even if it's not a traditional pocket page, and I really enjoyed using them.

When I saw the wordstrips in La's Stay Weird kit, I knew they would be perfect for the Journaling with Word Strips challenge. Once I had the wordstrips in place on this layout, nothing more needed to be said; it was perfect!

 
I picked #12 Scrap a bad photo. I have this photo of my daughters that I just love, although it's not a "good" one. I still scrapped it because I want to remember the story/memory behind it.

#1 This year I am going to be...

Still have 9 to go for the full card. I have to plan myself a scrap day this week!
 
I want to play so badly...and I'm like a fish out of water with no way to do it. :(((( I was staring to go for blackout!! When I started I only jumped I. Ankle deep & did classic, then added the extras for a pattern, hoping to bE up and running before month end so I can at least finish!!

Ps: LOVE the pages so far!!
 
oh, it's so great to see all the layout... such a great work!

here are two more from me... now I have 5 more to go...

Button-Challenge


Scraplift yourself
 
Use at least four 3x4 pocket cards on a page:



Last one!! I'm DONE!

At the start of the month I was aiming just to complete a pattern, but since I'm on holidays all month I found I had enough time to do the blockout! It will probably be the only month in the whole year I'll manage this... I love how the completed bingo cards look!!
 
Loving all these layouts! I'm working on a pattern this month. I thought about doing the blackout, but I'm trying to catch up on PL and some of my pages won't work with the challenges. I *will* do it at least once! For now I've got 2 left to go, flip a template and use an icy color scheme.

Here's my page for mixing script and sans serif fonts, half of my PL layout.
