20 Layouts for April!

I am toooo stoked! I scrapped my goal of 20 layouts for the month of April PLUS 2 mini albums!
I am really liking setting monthly goals for myself.. I find that I can keep up b etter plus it motivates me to wanna scrap! LOL
I just finished my 20th layout on the last day of April.. talk about waiting until the last minute!

So.... I am thinking that since we are hosting a Scrappy Play in May cybercrop on Scrappy Girl Designs, where we are hosting a challenge a day in May.. I am determined to do 31 layouts for May! I am determined to live dangerously and do this...
anyone think I can? Post here and let me know if you think I am can do this! LOL

Come on over and join us for the month crop and play! Prizes will be given out and the challenges will be awesome!

5 layouts in 5 days Challenge- Day 3

This challenge has really motivated me to scrap! I have been doing a layout a day challenge for a week with my friend Naureen. I have done5 layouts in 3 days! I haven't been able to post them daily because they were DT projects for Scrappy Girl Designs but now... TA-DA!!!!!!

This layout features my DD on Easter Sunday! She was so pretty and divine! She was so happy to pose for the camera too. This layout is using the Crate paper that is in the April kits! Awesome! I also created this layout using 15 buttons for a button challenge on Simply Obsessed!
Thanks for the push!


I switched over to the Cherry Arte papers in the April kit to do this one of my DS eating a cupcake at DD's birthday party. Did I tell you that you actually get TWO kits in one at Scrappy Girl Designs? I was able to scrap for my daughter and son with one kit!


The title says it all on this one!





I am so proud of myself and being able to stay with it! I can't wait until the daily challenge/crop in May over at Scrappy Girl Designs! I am hoping to get 31 pages done!

Update on the 5 layouts in 5 days...

Just wanted to say that YES I am keeping up with this challenge! I have scrapped one page ( at least) a day since Monday. I actually scrapped TWO layouts tonight! YAY ME!

But unfortunately, I can't post them just yet... they are my DT projects for Scrappy Girl Designs. I am really excited about how they turned out!

Ok... looking forward to create another layout for Day 3 of the challenge!

Thanks Naureen for playing with me!

April means Actively Scrapping!

Hello my darling friends,
If you are reading this, you are probably going, where has Origin been? I keep saying that I am going to stay on top of this blog and I really will.. I am definitely starting to scrap more so I will just have to upload my stuff right after I make it so I can stay current! I am so excited to upload some of my newest.. I think my style is changing again but I think I like it! I am starting to dig this 6 x 12 size! It is awesome!
Ok without further ado, here is some of my work! I made this layout of my kids with their dad and I have to say it is my fav of all time! I wanted to really capture what he means to the kids and how much they love him! He is truly an awesome dad! Even though our marriage didn't make it, I will always love him for his love of the family... David, this one is for you!


A 12 x 6 layout of my DS with his Daddy! Do they not have the same ears and hairline? LOL
One of the girls on the Scrappy Girl Designs DT with me (Nikki) inspired me to try this size and I think I am hooked! Thanks Nikki!


Ok... this layout was made with the AWESOME March kit from Scrappy Girl Designs! This kit rocked with the Dream Street papers! This layout features my little ones trying on my afro puff that I wear to work when I don't feel like doing my hair.. What a hoot! I did some hidden journaling behind the pics.


Close up of the orange stickles that I used on the title!

I love scrapping out of order... it allows me to scrap whateever whenever I want! I did this layout from Halloween.. I love how I was able to capture my DD's hand with the 2 pumpkin seeds stuck in the middle! I did this layout based on a sketch over at Sketch This!


This 12 x 6 layout was inspired by a challenge from Nikki over on Scrappy Girl Designs. We were challenged to create a 12 x 6 layout with 2-3 pictures and some bling! Not one of my favs that I have done but I do love the photos!


This layout features Dream Street Papers from the March kit at Scrappy Girl Designs! These pictures are of the kids at the Orlando Science Center. Too funny!

Thanks so much for checking out my stuff!
Ok, I have been challenged by my good friend, Naureen to do 5 layouts in 5 days starting on Monday! We have to create one layout a day for a week.. I know small stuff for you daily layout people...but we have to email each other a picture of our stuff by midnight in order for it to count.. no doubling up on one day! So, as I do this challenge, I will challenge myself to do 5 posts in 5 days here so you can see my daily creations!
Wish me luck!
