Scrappin' Late into the Night...

Last night I went to my scrappin' table around 10. I had spent part of the day cleaning it off and it was calling to me. Marci, from the MSH group, had mentioned a Cyber Blog Hop Crop being sponsored by If It's Groovy . A group of bloggers were each posting separate challenges with an 80's theme. Marci's challenge at her blog, Marci's Scrapping Spot, was to use some suggested 80's movie titles. I thought I'd give it a try and used the Pretty in Pink (a movie that I have never actually seen - I must be the only one!). I grabbed some photos of Kendra at one, a sketch posted in the MSH sketch challenge and a stack of pink papers. The title was cut from the TearDrop cartridge. This was my result...



Since I had so much fun doing that one, I decided to do another one from the If It's Groovy Blog Hop Crop. This one was posted by Scrap Happy Mama and it was to do a layout featuring neon, another 80's staple. This one took me a little more time. I went thru a box of old photos til I found some that I could use neon (neon, really???) with. Then I came across some great pictures of Kaitlyn in 1999 at grandpa's Iowa farm. She was wearing a great neon green tank (hmmm... maybe neon didn't leave with the 80's) and some bright purple shorts. After finding the pictures, I went through more of the sketch layouts posted in the MSH challenges and found one that would work for my pictures (this one came from the ScrapRoomClub). After grabbing some paper, some flowers and my green stickles bottle, I was off. I cut "Summer" from Stretch Your Imagination and "FUN" from Lyrical Letters. And here it is...

I really like how these pages came out... maybe I should do more of my scrappin' late at night.

Edited to say... I messed up. "Pretty in Pink" was not one of the movie choices in the challenge. 16 Candles... Pretty in Pink... they both had Molly Ringwald... same diff, right? LOL! I still got a great layout out of it! :-D
