Scrap Happy! *CCCB* - Fifty is FAB!



Hi all! So FUN to come to you today as this week's hostess at City Crafter Challenge Blog! The theme is "Scrap Happy" and the challenge is to use ONLY scraps on your project...nothing new. This is a chance to use up all those scraps of paper and unused sheets of stickers/and or embellishments. Go check out what our Guest Designer, Tante Kathe, and our DT did with their scraps at City Crafter Challenge Blog. I have SOOOOO MANY and needed an excuse to use at least some of them. I joined the "Fifty's Club" on my last birthday and have been wanting to do a layout about that ever since. I really do think Fifty is FAB! I'm ENJOYING EVERY aspect of my life right now (well, maybe not the occasional creaks in the body) but for the most part LIFE IS SO GOOD! Here is a quote from a woman I admire very much. It was what she had to say about being fifty..."Fifty was my favorite age. It takes about that long to learn to quit competing---to be yourself and settle down to living. It is the age I would like to be through all eternity!" Marjorie Pay Hinckley Sounds pretty FAB doesn't it?! Whatever your age, I hope you get Scrap Happy and dig out those FABBY scraps of yours and join us in this week's challenge! I'm sponsoring this week and for our winner there is a LOVELY package of ALL NEW GOODIES!!! Now one more quote from Marjorie Hinckley before I go: "Who knows but that something WONDERFUL may happen today. Have faith that it will. After all, every morning is a chance at a new day." Have a WONDERFUL day all! Hugs, Cheryl

  5. Beautiful scrappy page, Cheryl! Love all the things you used on your 50's page. I have found that every birthday is a good year, regardless of the day ie how well it goes, or what year you are celebrating. Life is a gift and taking every birthday as it's precious extends that gift. So I need to pick up the scraps and make something special today! wonderful challenge.
