Great scrappin' weekend

The weekend went by pretty smoothly. I tried all the challenges except for one because it involved using wheels that I don't have. I got a lot done even though I was sick. I started to feel aweful on Friday and really was not in the scrapping mood. Then as the challenges were posted, they were so fun I couldn't not try. There were a lot of pages I would have done more with if it weren't for the time limit but mostly I'm happy with what I did.
This layout was done for the Antarctica challenge which was to show winter pics with sparkles. I doubled up on the bonus challenge which was to stamp on acetate using Staze On. It was supposed to be something big but I thought it would be perfect for my corner stamps. I barely use them because they are angled strangly so it can not be symetrical. Acetate and Staze on Solves that problem. I found acetate really hard to stamp on without smearing. You don't want to know how many photo corners I scrapped because they were smudged. I also don't have any clear glue so I used a mini glue dot and covered it with a rhinestone. I did use more acetate for a shaker box around the journaling but did not stamp on it.
Journaling reads:Winter is Lavinia's favorite season. She loves to play outside in the snow. She makes snow angels and tracks in the snow. If it were up to her she would spend all day outside. Unfortunately for her, I get cold very easily. Lavinia Jan 2006

Another of my favorite pages was this one. This was done for the Netherlands challenge. The challenge was to make pinwheels and use flowers (extra points for tulips) and have a hidden element on your layout. I based the page around tulip stickers but once the page devoloped, the tulips didn't quite work. I scrapped it and changed for the metal flower.
Journaling on the tag reads:

I used the Spring Flowers double sided papers and Mellow Moss and Cameo Coral Cardstock. I used Barely Banana ink for the title but is not showing so well in the picture.
