A couple more pages...

I wanted to share with you the last few pages I completed for ADSR5.

This one is for challenge #7. We had to use the word "Someday" as a prompt for our page and immediately this song popped into my head: "Love Song for our Savior" by Jars of Clay. And I knew I had the perfect photo for it as well...

Challenge #8 had us writing down our Bucket List... you know, things you want to accompish before you 'kick the bucket', so to speak. We had to come up with a list of 50 things. At first I thought this was going to be difficult for me, but it all came together pretty easily once I quit procrastinating and put pencil to paper and wrote my list. lol.

Numbers 9 and 10 were a little confusing for my partner and I. They were very similar challenges, where we had to scrap a page about where we find inspiration. I, of course , am inspired by all of God's artistry.

But #10 was in Intersection challenge, which meant we both had to work together on a single page.We knew we wanted to go with a similar inspiration, to make putting the page together easier and more pleasing to the eye. So we chose the beach, or coast line photos. I'm here in Oregon with the Pacific coastline, while my partner lives on the coast of South Africa! She put her portion together (her photo and the cluster around it) and found that amazing quote, while I put the rest of the page together. I REALLY like how this page turned out. And I SO want to go visit Caro's beautiful part of the world!
Well, that's it! The race was SO much fun, but at the same time, it was surprisingly stressful for both myself and my partner, Caro. I learned a lot of new things, techniques and such, and it also strengthen my friendship with Caro, who I happened to meet on the Creative Team for Sunshine Studio Scraps about a year ago. Whether we do it again next year remains to be seen. I can't say I wouldn't do it again, but boy, was I glad when it was over! LMBO!

XO, Krista

I'm a baaaad blogger :(

My goodness. I am always amazed at how quickly life can sweep you off your feet and you never even knew what hit you. I have had a rough couple of months. Between the Amazing Digital Scrapbook Race, my Grandma getting very ill, followed by my family catching one bug after the other and 'sharing the love'... I thought things were never going to settle down! But they seem to finally be subsiding. Praise the Lord!

Rachael is this months' guest designer over at Digital Scrap Cafe! This is a new site to me, but it's a great little place! Click on the ad to go check it out yourself!

She also has a new kit coming out this Friday! Here's a sneaky Peeky for ya.

I love the color scheme of this kit! I'll be making a couple pages with it real soon, so watch for that! And don't forget to go pick it up Friday from Gotta Pixel!

I want to share a few more pages with you that I completed for the ADSR5.

As I told you in my last post (soooo long ago, lol) We had to make 2 ATC Trading Cards. One for a loved one and one for our team mate. I had never done ATC's before, so this was a new experience for me. I did really enjoy it, though, and I actually went and bought some badge sleeves to make a little brag book of ATC sized pages. I think they'd make great gifts! Here are the 2 I made for the Challenge:

The first one was, of course, for my amazing hubby!

And this one was made for my team mate and friend, Caro! For challenge #5 we had to scrap about chocoate! Now if you know me very well at all, you know I do not like chocolate! So, that's what I scrapped! hehe.

Challenge #6 was a Road Block, which meant only one partner could complete it, and I was having a horrible week at the time, so Caro did that page for our team! Thanks again, Caro! Love ya!

Ok, I'm, going now, and I will not make any promises to be back tomorrow, because you never know what tomorrow is going to hold, but I will be back! Thanks for hangin' with me! And thanks to all my firned and family for all the thoughts and prayers the last couple months. They were all very much appreciated!

You are a blessing,

Krista
