I get to tell you all about our new Tuesday Trigger challenges.  Each month we will have a theme and then each Tuesday a challenge will be based off of that theme.  For the month of September our theme is "back to school".

Now just by participating in this blog hop you are getting a head start on this Tuesday's challenge.  This challenge is all about one of my favorite subjects, math!  You are going to use the equation 

4 + 6 = 10

Your newly created LO must contain 4 circles, 6 pattern papers, and 10 flowers.  Here is what I created using Simple Stories Vintage Bliss.

Don't forget to leave a comment on each of the DT's blogs and then head back over to My Scraps and More's blog to let us know you have completed the hop.  You have until Sunday September 1st at midnight EST to leave your comments. You will then be eligible for the random drawing for Echo Park's Paper & Glue Collection.

We hope you will come and play along with us on the message board for all the fun challenges in the month of September.  There is always something going on over there.

To thank you for stopping by my blog become a follower if you are not already and leave a message in your comments letting me know.  I will draw a random winner for a $10 gift certificate to My Scraps and More.

Now hop on over to Lisa's Blog and find out all about Word Up Wednesday.

Easter Best

This month Rochelle challenged us with this inspiring photo.

As soon I saw this is reminded me of the torn cardboard trend which I haven't seen in a while.  So I dug into one of my boxes under my desk and did some tearing to show the corrugated effect.

Beach Bum

I'm ready for the beach and grateful that we will be headed there next week.  So I thought I'd scrap some beach photos from last year.  I created this page for the SWAT color challenge and Scrappin Happy challenge to use 3 pp, twine and washi tape, some of my favorite items!!

mmm good

I'm doing good using up my old stash.  This is another one using Bo Bunny Petal Pushers.  I used a sketch from Grand Diva's Creative Corner.

1st Fun Run

Over at My Scraps and More we have been having a bit of fun with some of our old stuff.  If you are like me you get the new in and it is so hard to go back and pull from your old stash.  I just want to play with the new.  Every month we pick a collection and use up the remainder of the collection during that month.  This month I'm using Bo Bunny's Petal Pushers.  I used this sketch from My Creative Endeavors.

One of the twist to her challenge was to use two different alphas.  I used Thickers and some Basic Grey letter stickers.  Here is what I created.
