Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge!

If you want to enter the "play along challenge" and giveaway, you can find the post here.

Hi everyone!  It's that time again...the April 15th challenge at Another freaking scrappy challenge  is now up! For this challenge, we would like you to use the super easy sketch by Anne, the very sweet owner of AFSC and the following criteria: Seeing that April's showers bring May flowers - scrap about a rainfall, or storm. Perhaps the weather ruined your plans, or perhaps you were experiencing a drought and were relieved to see the heavens open.  For me, I scrapped about all the storms we were getting....my journaling reads...1st it was the closeness of the tornados, then it was the shake from the earthquake, then the threat of hurricane Irene. I was so rattled. I thank God it came only as wind and a mild rain..... 



The sketch:

Today, I'd like to share the new challenge at AFSC! Yup, the Another Freaking Scrappy challenge is up and this time we would like you to scrap about a trick or prank that was either pulled on you, a friend, or that you pulled on someone else!! If you have difficulty with this, you could alternatively scrap about a surprise you experienced or that you prepared for someone else (surprise birthday party??). How fun is this! For me, I scrapped about how "I got my hubby"......just too sweet! Yup, love him to bits...so easy to prank him!


That little chippie, on the lower right corner, is from Imaginarium designs. I just love their chipboard!
