Just Scraps Challenge #9 - Chocolate Chip with a Splash of Color
Sorry for the late post but it’s the May 2-4 weekend and here in my part of the world that’s a very big deal - the kick off to summer. I’ve been in holiday mode so last night forgot all about posting to my blog.
Saturday was the day of the big launch for us - a little disapppointing as one of the pumps wasn’t working right and we had to pull her up again. Max, however, was thrilled with all the excitement - he still got to eat his lunch on the boat. haha.
After we pulled the Northern Lights home again, we went to visit friends and from there we took our boy home. “This was a great day, Grammy”, he said - Is your glass half empty, Max, or half full?
Sunday it was Sam’s turn. Sam isn’t quite as active as Max just yet, but still takes up all our attention when he visits. DH had him chuckling away here. He’s sitting up like a big boy!
Today I’m spending in the loft. DH just put a fire in - it’s all of two degrees! I have some wedding favors to work on for my niece’s upcoming wedding - chocolate chip with a splash of color so ……. this week I challenge you to use just that - a scrap of brown with a splash of color. I’ll post pictures of my own work later today.
Hope you had a safe weekend and that there are lots of good things in store for you this week. I have a birthday on the horizon - next Sunday actually, so to everyone who participates this week, I’ll send a pattern from paperandpiecings.com - your choice. This is the last week our challenge will be sponsored by Paper and Piecings. Something new next week so here’s your chance to get your favorite pattern for free.
You have until Sunday, May 30th to leave a link to your creation - card, layout, ATC, any paper project - using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date.
Congratulations to Yvonne whose name we drew this week. Email me Yvonne at justscraps.ca@gmail.com with your pattern choice and I’ll get that to your right away.l Thanks to everyone who played along!
Happy Scrapping!

I guess that niece would be me?
Aunt Jean, this is the first time I’ve seen your site, and it’s wonderful! Makes me want to get into scrapbooking again - badly! Perhaps once I settle into this whole ‘being a grown up’ mumbo jumbo I’ll have a routine and take a crack at it again!
Love and miss you! See you soon!

jean, the company that makes the “humorous seniors” stamps you commented on on my blog has started a digi site. i know you were looking for them in digi format. I don’t htink the seniors are included…but maybe soon? or you could ask?? the site is ibreakfordigis.com. i tried to send as regular email to you, but i kept getting it back as spam. probably because i’m sending you a website? oh well! hope this gets to you! ps..that little sam is a cutie!
