Week 1 Prompt - Awake/Asleep
Awake Layout

For my Awake Layout I decided to use some of the beautiful Spring Flower pictures that I took this Spring. I had several to choose from. "I love the first signs of Spring, It gives us hope for a New Beginning." Just like our Lord always gives us. I am so thank for such a caring Savior.
Asleep Layout

For my Asleep layout, I also used pictures that showed the Earth asleep. No signs of life when these pictures were taken. We had an Ice Storm hit southern IL in March. My son and I were driving around and seen the sign in the middle of my layout. We live in "Kell, Illinois" and the storm hit in "March" and Kell and March were the names on the Road signs. SO I had to have a picture of them. =)
Week 2 Prompt - Likes/Dislikes
Likes Layout
For this prompt I picked some of my favorite things in life. I love spring flowers. Making beautiful cakes, especially Wedding cakes, A Fresh blanket of Snow, and my Mom's sense of humor...Yes my Mom's Christmas Tree is hanging from her ceiling...She is such a nut. I love you Mom. =)

Dislikes Layout
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWGSY6sYIZLxuxbfijj1-xt9phOArFpq6-ay482CJzwKwY9N5KkB7WZbDtq7cjLKVWEjt5JOY7hlt3lKbzkqRw_2Lu9mZbhYDBJZ4fQtaQE6xgB11Durr8mSnZWmg5UBYA4ThFU-2i0Xs/s200/week2dislikes.jpg)
For the Dislikes layout, I used pictures and letter die cuts that I didn't like. I do not like it when my pictures turn out blurry, when the cakes I decorate turn out ugly, When I am stopped by trains when I think I am in a "hurry", and The ice storm that hit our area and blocked the roadway to my house, and destroyed many of the trees in our area.
Week 3 Prompt - Clean/Messy
Messy Layout

Clean Layout
Week 4 Prompt - Fire, Water, Earth, Wind (had to pick 2)
So I choose Water:

I also picked Fire:

These are some of the fireworks from our local 4th of July Celebration. The 4th of July is one of my favorite Holidays. Even as a kid I couldn't wait till the 4th of July to get here. The firecracker in the middle of the page is made from cardstock, yarn, and fibers.
Week 5 Prompt - City/Country
(I am really sorry about the scan on this one. I have tried different ways to scan it and it just will not turn out. I guess its because of the light paper that I used to scrap on.)
Country Prompt
I hope the long post wasn't too bad, but I wanted to get these posted so Barb could see them. Thanks again for the challenge Barb. I have really enjoyed working in it, I will post some more soon, I want everyone recover from this long post first. =).
thanks for stopping by,
Debxx

Well, haven't WE been busy?! I LOVE the messy/clean and the city/country layouts. I can relate on both counts...teehee
Although you've ventured into altered art, you're still a scrapbooker at heart. Look how easily you put these together! I would STILL be working on prompt one...cause I would have to EMBELLISH IT TO DEATH before I'd call it "done." HA
Great job...
Beautiful layouts. I'm glad to see someone is doing them. There may be only around four of you who are if that. Maybe we'll start to see more posting now, since it's almost over. I can't view week 1 for some reason but see all the rest. Great work! Barb
Thanks Barb and Paula
They have been alot of fun
