"Groovy Girl" Scrapbook Page

Well, another Friday has arrived.  This one in March.  Can you believe it?  March, already?  We finally had a snowstorm here in Massachusetts, but it was followed by rain so we have no white, fluffy stuff on the ground.  I'm wondering whether this is the year for another April Fool's Day storm.  :-)  I'm hoping not!!

Today I'm sharing a layout I made for a few challenges.  The one over at Exploring Cricut caught my eye.  It's theme is "NO Business Like Show Business" and the project entry must be based on a movie night, concert, recital, play or based on a movie or song.  So I thought about it for a few days and an idea came to me while I was driving and heard the song "Feelin' Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel on the radio.  My 8 yr-old daughter is all into peace signs, hearts, flowers and butterflies these days.  She has a disco ball and a lava lamp.  Last week, my Mom took her to have a purple feather put into her hair.  Her girlfriends seem to be following the trend as well.  So I made this scrapbook page for my "Groovy Girl".  I took a picture of my daughter with her new purple feather wearing her favorite purple peace shirt, but it didn't come out as I had hoped.  But there's a space waiting for a better one.  :-)

I based the colors (purple, green and turquoise) on the current Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday - their 100th!!  I'm pretty pleased with it.  The page is pretty colorful and fun...like my daughter! 

I'm entering this page into 7 challenges:

Die Cuttin' Divas' Challenge #54 - Recipe Challenge - Use a die-cut and fabric, feathers and/or flowers on your project.  I used two big flower die-cuts and two felt butterflies on my page.

Exploring Cricut - "NO Business Like Show Business" - Create a project based on a movie night, concert, recital, play or a movie or song.  I chose "Feelin' Groovy" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Getting Scrappy Challenge - "For the Love of Bling" - Use glitter, stickles, rhinestones, etc. on your layout.

Have a great weekend!

Frosty Friends Scrapbook Page

Woot, woot!  This is the 3rd day in a row I've posted.  My scrap area and my Cricut are getting quite the workout!  I've been inspired by so many great challenges these past few days.  The lastest are a scrapbook layout sketch challenge, a die-cut challenge, a winter challenge and a color inspiration challenge.  I started with the latest sketch at Stuck On U Sketches.  I haven't done a layout like this before and it was quite a bit of fun.  I was inspired by the colors on Diane's antique pin here at Capadia Designs.  Then I cut a snowman for the latest SOUS die-cut challenge and created my winter-themed layout for the Getting Scrappy Challenge at Amanda's Crafts and More.  A bit of bubblegum glitter glue, a few rhinestones, some stitching and two googly eyes later, I was done.  Yay!

The picture is my daughter and one of her good buddies playing in the snow after one of our snowstorms last year.  It was just a coincidence that her friend's hat and jacket match the blues and greens in Diane's challenge!!  The girls were very proud of their snowman and asked me to take a picture for them.  :-)  I think they were more proud that they were able to fend off the attacking boys!
