This past weekend the ladies I met when I started to scrap still get together for a monthly crop. It's held at Cutaway Lodge. I absolutely quiet atmosphere, watching movies and seeing what all my friends are working on. Good friends, good food and scrapping....heaven for me!
I love the bi-weekly MMC (Monday Morning Crops) hosted by art_teacher at the message board at A Cherry On Top. We have such a grand time. Four challenges presented for the first crop this summer. For this layout I chose MMC 6-3 Challenge #1. The challenge had a sketch and required a music theme.
At the crop Saturday I picked out three papers from my May Paper Bakery May Scrapbooking Kit: Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Dreamy & Moments along with Studio Calico Sundrifter Vellum. I completely cut up the Dreamy paper to mat photos and fussy cut nine cameras. Took my CM Hexagon punches and used three different size hexagons.
Here's the sketch:
And here's My Creation:
I took myself down memory lane of where I was when my mother took these photos in late spring 1984. Of course Mom has never been able to take a good photo to save her life. I was working for Royal Palm Arabians at the time in Lake Worth, FL. And missing my home state something terrible. I also went back and remembered my four years in high school with Koki my constant companion in the afternoons after school. Weekends I was at a play day or Competitive Trail Ride. Most would not think a barrel racing horse and Competitive Trail Horse would be one and the same. But Koki was both. She always took me 1st or 2nd in every single ride I rode in Youth or Adult Competition. All of the conditioning for trail made her a better barrel horse. We dropped two seconds off her time. She had something to look at other then the rails of an arena day in and day out.
I also smiled as I looked back at another post back in 2009 what it was like to grow up in the Clear Lake area with Koki and my FFA friends. Thank you for the challenge art_teacher!
Until next time!
