Super Moon...

Indeed, we clearly were not in the greatest spot to truly enjoy 

the moon and its wonderful glory Saturday night.  It did not look any larger than some of the magnificent harvest moons that appeared to be larger to the naked eye than what I witnessed Saturday night.  

I needed a SUPER POWERED lens to really get a picture that was worth telling about.  

So, this is what is the best shot out of the 10 or so I took.  This is the only one I kept.

My challenge to the blog hoppers is to create any size layout, card, ATC, or take a photo with the following KENTUCKY DERBY FESTIVAL color theme.  

Yes, be inspired by the theme of the Kentucky Derby or the colors of the artistic poster theme.  Heck, create a hat/bonnet out of your scrappy supplies.

Our theme is 'BACK TO BASICS'. Thinking back to the tools and techniques we used when we first started scrapbooking.

For me, this may be hard as I only started scrapbooking back in 2005. So, I thought I would show a few of my layouts and I chose to showcase BUTTONS. Be sure to use buttons on your layout (see step 3 above).

My creations are from the years of 2005 and 2006. It is kinda funny looking back at how I used to scrap. I hope you have a great day of creating and sharing a memory with BASIC Scrapbooking Techniques.
In the above layout:
I used buttons and at this particular time I was really into doodling on my layouts as well.

In the above layout:
I layered the buttons and used twine in some detail with each of the button stacks.

Here are the next blogs you need to visit to gather your layout information!
Good Luck

INSPIRATION FOR NSD

My inspiration is created with the May Kit from Art Freckles featuring the fabulous new patterned papers by Chatterbox.

I love using different patterned papers within one scrapbook page. I love to also cut out shapes within a paper as an added dimension to my creation. I challenge you to look at your patterned paper in a different light and do not be afraid to cut up that 12 x 12 paper that you adore or simply store away for that perfect picture. Hey, you may forget that you have it...so USE IT!

Please visit the store at Art Freckles to see the REVEAL of the May Kit!

These kits are in limited supply, so be sure to order yours today.
