FEB11VSBNE ~ Saturday, February 5, 2011 ~ 4:00 PM EST ~ In The Groove!
Title: "In The Groove!" Hostess: Vikki �vikkijo�
Keyword: FEB11VSBNE
Day/Date: Saturday, February 5, 2011
Time: 4:00 PM (EST)
groove noun 1. Slang A settled routine: got into the groove of a monochromatic scheme. 2. Slang A situation or an activity that one enjoys or to which one is especially well suited: found her groove following a scrapping sketch. 3. Slang A very pleasurable experience. Scrap booking is my passion, my biggest pleasure. Most of what I work on is for the Daughters of the Union Veterans of The Civil War, so I do not have much to �show off� I really enjoy scrapping about my kids and my critters.
Sometimes I need pictures sitting in front of me then go find a sketch to follow depending on how many I have, and other times it�s the other way around.
I have really gotten in the groove of Monochromatic Color Schemes too! Here�s a website I found to be a great place for colors. (you can chose other schemes there too!) http://websitetips.com/colortools/sitepro/
Here's my challenge to you, Using the provided sketch, and whatever you have on hand (use your stash). You will need 2 sheets of card stock for your base layer, then scraps can do the rest! If monochromatic works for you .. YAY! If not, no worries, follow whatever color scheme

I've got this ready to go but I have to help my 15 yo make her first dinner...an asian dish :-) I'll be back after dinner...wonder if she realizes she's got to do the clean up too ;-) Have fun everyone!!!!
I think she was just starting, she said she'd be back for the 6:00 challenge. Kinda wondering if everyone's finishing their other challenges or having a coffee break! LOL

Idk if this has been answered already - but the sketch is one of the attached thumbnails (it is kind of hard to see next to her sample). Hope this helps!

I'm anxious now to hear back from Mary.. did the 15 yr old clean up? How was dinner?
LOL! She's still prepping the food :-) Luckily I sold Pampered Chef for years so we have a food chopper, lots of chopping so I'm finishing up a l/o in between ingredients. I had to do the Mango...now off to help her put it all together...she's having a blast! :-)
I'm here, and working at this. I am off timing because I got a late start with the first one and used two hours to finish it.
Not to mention the darn family keeps needing things LOL!
I imagine at some point they will want to eat too (sigh).

I actually messed up my food chopper - I forgot to put on the blade shield for the first couple of uses and it gouged out some plastic on the sides of the outer rim thingie :rolleyes: I need to order a replacement! I am such a dummy!

Ouch! I have 3. I was a Director for 8 years so my kitchen is full! I haven't sold in five years so it's starting to age but I still do enjoy most of what they sell :-) I use to have consultants in England but I doubt if they are there anymore but you should be able to order from anyone if you know someone that sells. Okay, just got called back to the kitchen :-)

I will just have to look up the person that I ordered it from here. I have been really lazy about it b/c it still WORKS, it just looks ugly. hehehe

just finished, I just have to make a title, but I want to use my cricut so I will wait and do all my titles together. Plus I am still learning how to use it
She was prob trying to edit them to make them larger during the time you were trying to view them :confused:
probably because I couldn't even open...you're right. I know just the picts I want to get out and scrap for this. From Christmas. :o I very, very rarely scrap without a sketch Liz, I'm with you. It would take me SO much longer to fiddle around w/ the picts trying to decide. I like the sketch gets me started!

That's what I've been doing lately! It's SO much easier just to cut all of them at once. Plus I moved my Cricut to my new shelves and now that's it's in an easier spot, I tend to use it more ;)

Can you believe I almost forgot??? I did remember though after it was all ready to put together. It was a wonderful first attempt at cooking...edible & okay tasting :-) She was funny...she enjoyed it but was glad her sister hadn't emptied the dishwasher yet so she can take a break before cleaning...'this is a lot of work mom!' ;-)
Thanks to the great sketch Vikki, my page is laid out and ready to be adhered down. I'll add embellishments tonight and pop back here to upload after the next one!

I'm here! Got a late start and just finished the first challenge. I'll have to post it later though, so I can get going on another challenge. This looks interesting -- I haven't checked out the sketch yet. Off to do that now!
Wow! Just checked out that color tool. Thanks! I bookmarked that one...it gives you the numbers that can be inputted right into Photoshop. It's pretty awesome!
FEB11VSBNE ~ Saturday, February 5, 2011 ~ 4:00 PM EST ~ In The Groove!
I'm Back
Yay
yup
