Freaky Friday challenges
Each Friday on the Timeless Daydreams forum we've been posting a weekly challenge. We decided to start posting them on the blog as well. If you participate, please consider signing up on the forum and uploading your work in the gallery. We leave lots of love in there. :)
I've been quiet lately because I'm kinda in my head right now. Some of my friends are having a rough time lately. And as much as we like, we can't always throw the hard times behind us and put on a sunshiney face to show the world each day. Sometimes we need to embrace the hard stuff.
This weeks challenge is to release the stress through your art. Find some inspiration through the song posted. Maybe you too are saddened by friends you know going through a difficult time as well. You can dig deep, or touch on something simple.
I heard this song on playlist.com this morning, and it struck a chord in me, and I knew I had to share it here. (if the pop up player isn't working.. you can go here to hear the song.)
You can tell a story.
Just paint.
Sign your name on a sheet of paper with a frowny face :(
this week it's up to you.
Let go. You'll find this form of scrapping to be very freeing, if only for a short time.
Hope you're able to play along, and have a great weekend!
xoxo

Back in the Saddle Again
For those of you that know me, I once was an avid scrapper (averaging about 3o layouts a month). Due to some personal issues, I decided a little over a year ago to quit scrapping- cold turkey! Now that I'm trying to get "back in the saddle" so to speak, I'm finding my "mojo" is lacking. So I thought I would share with you today some things that have jumpstarted my inspiration.
First off, the June kit- Au Revoir- that Michelle and Dolores put together was FABULOUS! The papers from The Girls' Paperie were a real "mojo" booster! The mixture of reds, blues, and yellows were a delight to work with. I love building my page with patterned paper as the base. This sheet of ledger patterned paper in the kit was perfect to use for this layout I did of my son and I.
I knew right away when I saw this paper in the kit I wanted to try one of the new trendy banners I've seen around on other scrappers' layouts. I dug out my trusty X-acto knife and sewing machine that had been collecting dust for this layout of my grandfather. I hand cut the pennants, secured them with a small glue dot, and then did a simple machine stitch along the top. I'm very pleased with the results. I think the banner adds a nice touch and adds to the sea/naval theme of the layout.
I always find that when I'm lacking inspiration, a sketch helps get me started. I've been enjoying participating in some sketch challenge blogs. Both my Sea Scout layout and the following Hammerhead in Training were based off of a sketch. I thought I would share a few sketch sites....some I'm sure you've heard of, others maybe not.
Today ends my Guest DT month at Timeless Daydreams. I want to take this opportunity to thank Dolores and Michelle for choosing me. It's been a long time since I've done any "DT" work with a kit. It was a refreshing step back into the scrapping world. If you've not gotten yourself one of the Au Revoir kits, I encourage you to hurry up and grab one before they're gone!
Peace out,
Amanda

Meet your June Guest Designer ~ Amanda Laboy
We are thrilled to have Amanda Laboy as our June Guest Design team member.
Grab yourself a quick drink and settle in to learn more about Amanda.
Hi, my name is Amanda Laboy. I'm an elementary music school teacher by day. I live in Oklahoma with my hubby of 10 years and our son who just turned 8. I've been scrapping for the past 9 years or so. About 20 albums later, I now try to squeeze in scrapping a couple of times a month. My favorite scrappy colors are orange, green and teal. I love everything Fancy Pants, Sassafras Lass, and Cosmo Cricket. I'm excited for this opportunity to scrap with the kits from Timeless Daydreams!!!
We tossed some questions in the air and pitched them over to Amanda, here's what she had to say.
Where do you get your inspiration? I enjoy looking at other scrappers' blogs and galleries.
What is your favorite embellishment? Either letter stickers or anything chipboard
How long have you been scrapbooking? Off and on for about 11 years.....although, I did find some old "scrapbooks" I kept when I was a kid.
If you could choose one manufacturer to receive a free years supply of product from, who would you choose? Hands down, it would be Fancy Pants! They fit what I consider my style the best.
Do you prefer dinner at home, take out, or eat in a restaurant? Most days, I prefer dinner at home.....of course, it doesn't hurt if someone else did the cooking :)
What is your favorite color and why? I LOVE orange and green the most......but really I love all colors.
How do you overcome Scrapper's Block? I find a sketch that I like and base a layout off of it.....it also helps if I have some recent photos that I absolutely love.
What’s the last song you downloaded to your ipod – or the song you just can’t get out of your head right now. For Good from the Wicked soundtrack
The words that would be describe my style are ………………………………………. sometimes shabby, sometimes vintage, sometimes simple and sometimes funky....if that's possible!
If you could only have three tools to scrap with - what would they be? My Xacto knife, glue dots, and my circle cutters......I actually don't use very many tools when I scrap.
Name a food in your house you never run out of. Does coffee count as a food? (Most definitely! It's a staple in my house as well.)
If you lost your sight tomorrow how would you express your creativity? Probably through music and dance. I enjoy both.
Name something that makes you smile when you see it. My son and/or husband when they are laughing.
