30-Minute Thursday (?)

You'd think I'd be able to squeeze 30 mintues into the day to get this done on time! Ah, well. It's actually more like an hour and a half because after I create it, I have to post it and find the winners and link to them, and then redo everything after the computer goblins mysteriously delete my first post... it's a tough job, I tell ya!

ANYWHO... here is my book layout.

As you can see, I cheated. Not only did I avoid the question of my favorite books, I also FORGOT THE JOURNALING LINES! ACK! And I use journaling lines ALL THE TIME. Whoops.

I still think it's pretty cute. Materials: versamark chalk, American Crafts letters, Heidi Grace rub-ons, DMC floss, and Hero Arts rhinestones.

For last week's winner: Sherry, who is addicted to Half-Price Books!! Also, someone emailed me to tell me this was their first challenge, but I cannot remember who it was. If that was you, please re-email me! And Sherry, send me your snail mail address.

For next week... how's about we do a monochromatic theme? I don't do that much, but I think it would be fun. How about shades of... hmmm... red! That should be enough of a challenge. 30 minutes or less, ladies!

It took me to read to the "addicted to half priced books" before I realized I won! Yeah! My lucky week. I also won a gift card through our local library for walking 30 mins a day for the month of April. Several of those 30 min walks were done while listening to YOU Lain :)

Hurrah! More inspiration for my latest album...Me @ 35! Red is my favorite color! I just finished a layout about Diet Coke. Miss Niki

I love this layout. Totally cute and a great thing to scrap about.
I have been reading your blog every post but I read it on my iGoogle page and I am too lazy to click over and comment. I decided to NOT be lazy today.
Blessings, my friend!

Red's not an easy colour for me to use but I arose to the challenge! :) Here's what I came up with:

Do you know how hard it is to find multiple reds that don't clash????

Hope you are well. I'm busy--TWO birthday parties this weekend!!

Red? Of all the colours, one of the ones I use the least. I don't have a lot of red papers! Sat down today to do this, but the pictures I thought I was going to use totally didn't work with the paper I had. Must rethink this :) I really want to do it because I love monochromatic pages ... off to search through old photos.
