LEO hopping...

Here we are again...


over at WT we are in the middle of another LEO challenge. A whole lot of excitment going on over there on the message board. You must go read what that Roxy is up too!!!

And another weekend brings us another round of blog hopping...

now while I am on my way out the door to a fabulous weekend away in the moutains, I could not fail to blog hop. Come back tomorrow for a little more too! O.K? Promise?
Today I am just going to post my LEO challenges from this week. #1 and #2. I know a few of you have seen them already, so you'll just have to come back tomorrow to see something different.

back in the day was for the "scrap lift from the gallery" challenge. it was also based on one of trish's layouts she did for the WIP September kit. as i looked through the icons, different memories from high school and the 80's came flooding over me. stories i realized i may not have even shared with my kids. even as i was finishing the layout, my 14 year old came in and we started chatting about the images. i was aghast to realize he did not even know what a karmen ghia was...it was fun talking to him about what these squares represent to me.

i sewed the grid with red thread. made the journal spots by just adding lines to the squares, and basically free wrote the little stories. i am thinking each of these squares could easily represent their own layout.

oh! chipboard elements and b/g alpha came from the WIP Sept kit.

LEO2 was based on a color pallette that Candace chose...which happened to go perfectly with that afore mentioned WIP kit. i added a bit of red stitching to the right hand side to pop with the red pink paislee letter stickers.

this is the second time i have scrapped this photo. this day was just a real highlight to a me. just another day in the summer time...i have one more page to do for that day...it might pop up in another LEO challenge...we'll see.

happy friday you all!!!
