Feeling Golden

I know I'm on the other side of the country and all, but still using the momentum from my Olympic high to get me through Spring Break home with The Boy...and also reclaim my scrap mojo from hibernation mode.

First things first. Here's my latest Mission to Create challenge:



Gotta get one in for a shot at February's sweeeeeet kit (yes, I'm aware I've won once already. It's always nice to dream). This month I may or may not have included all the components, since variations just happened as it came together....

The components were birds or butterflies (I got one in, hope that's ok), mostly black and one other colour (it was intended to be black with red but can you blame me for throwing in a little GOLD?), 2 different punches (I punched both the cardstock tags out of a sheet...is that a longshot?), a picture 3 1/2 X 5 or smaller, and torn paper. A fun challenge all round and another chance to scrap some Olympic memories.

Speaking of which, here's a page I did for Layout Tag over at Skrap N' Chat (can't take credit for the design obviously but the theme was my idea. I love experimenting with different takes on "then & now").



And in the spirit of athletic victory, here's a 2-pager on the recent Superbowl festivities I got to be a part of last month.



Thanks for looking! Sweet dreams! Yay Canada!
