Let’s Scrap Hoppy New Year Blog Hop

Note, new blog postings below, this will remain at the top of my blog until bloghop is over!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.....You have arrived at:

Resolution #9...Laughter is the Best Medicine.

...Are you into making resolutions each new year. I am not, but this year I did. Not to let myself stress the little things! In keeping with this theme...your challenge is to pick a Let's Scrap Sketch and scrap something that makes you smile or laugh..It could be a moment that you laughed about for days, it could be a funny face that your kids make, or something funny your pet does, it could be a breathtaking moment that kept a smile on your face for days! Don't forget to include some journaling so that you can look back at this years from now and reminisce what was making you smile or cracking you up! I can't wait to see your layouts, they can be single or double, the choice is yours.

Here is my layout and the sketches it was based on from Let's Scrap. My son's first season of soccer was so fun. Picture it, two mini fields and 4 teams of 3 & 4 year olds learning to play. The funniest times were when the ball went into the neighboring field and both teams were playing in the same field...kids everywhere, coaches not knowing which way to go and balls being kicked this way and that...oh such fun it was to watch. And ofcourse I was so proud to watch my DS play week after week and improve and learn so much...always smiling, what more can you ask for!




Here is the prize you can win for participating in my Resolution#9!

    What a fun challenge, Mandy! Making us think of the fun times...such a treat, and there are so many of them in life! Love your layout..I can barely remember my 35 yr old daughter playing soccer at 5, or maybe even 4....and taking pics back then was not the thing to do. I do have the professional shots though....need to scrap them! Thanks for a great challenge, and a chance to win that awesome prize. I became an email subscriber!
