Challenge #44

Posted by The Design Experiment on 10:03 PM
Hi Experimenters!

We're back this week with a quote challenge. There are a ton of quotes out there and we'd like to know your favorites. So without further ado this week's experiment:

Do you have a favorite quote or saying? What is it? Describe....

You have two weeks girls, to let us know your favorite quote.

**********************************************************
This week we are joined by our rawkin' Guest Designer, Brenda Hurd.


A little bit about Brenda:


My name is Brenda Hurd - I will be 33 in a few short weeks. I am the stay at home mom to 3 fabulous kids - Mason 8, Ethan 6 and last but certainly not least my cute baby girl Baylee who is 2 going on 12. I'm so excited to be a guest designer this week for The Design Experiment and the jump start was a perfect one for me. The quote I used on my layout is actually plastered on my living room wall. It fits us perfectly.

I love scrapbooking and the creative outlet it brings - I've been scrapbooking for over 15 years now and still going strong. I am currently designing for Fancy Pants Designs and will be upcoming guest designers for Pink Paislee and Dream Street Papers. I have also had been blessed with the opportunity to teach a class for Pink Paislee at a retreat in June. You can find my work in Scrapbook Trends, Creating Keepsakes, and a few other mags here and there. Again - so grateful for the opportunity to guest design and can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

Thank you Brenda for joining us this week and inspiring us with your layout.

My cute little family
All I can say is at
least 2 of us are
looking at the camera.
This picture is a
great example of our
lives - perfect chaos.
The quote says it all -
We are a great team
and I'm so blessed to
have such
a great family!

If You Want To Be Happy ... Be.

Journaling:

It's really a struggle for me to not worry, but it's something I realize I need to change.

Quote Unquote
By Lori

Journaling:

I am a huge fan of quotes! There are so many people out there who can say it so much better than I can. I have many favorites but I think the quote that sums up my attitude is from the song 'Counting Airplanes' by Train... "I don't spend my time with anyone who doesn't think I'm wonderful..."

Seriously, life is way too short. I chose this picture for this layout because these two women love me more than any other women in the world do. They think I'm pretty wonderful... and that means the world to me.

A night in NYC with my best friend Becky and Cousin Kelley.

A Message For You
By Kimberly

Dreamer
By Divian

Quote:

"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes." -St. Clement of Alexandria


**********************************************************
Happiness Is
By Emily

Quote:

"Happiness is waking up in the morning, going to bed at night and doing what you what in between." -Unknown

Emily Says:

I didn't really have a favorite quote, but when I saw this on another layout this week, I knew that I loved it! This quote is perfect for me because it's how I try and live my life!


**********************************************************
I Say
By Sasha

Quote:

"Make it do what it do Boo" -Sasha Holloway


**********************************************************
(dreams)
By Mia


Quote:

"Hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is like a broken winged bird that cannot fly." -Langston Hughes

Journaling:

Ever since I discovered this quote in high school, I have always been drawn to it. You see everyone has dreams in life, whether they may be big or small dreams, they are still our dreams. My dreams have definitely changed over the years but I still, and will continue to have them. This quote serves as a reminder for me to keep dreaming those dreams. To keep hoping and that even if I achieve certain dreams, I need to make new ones. A reminder that a life without dreams & hopes is no life at all.


**********************************************************
Ladies, y'all know the drill!

Alrighty....first timer here!!! I really liked this challenge and so finally made some time to participate. I am notorious for my quote "Such is Life." Most ppl are okay when I use this phrase during happy moments however...after receiving a parking ticket?? Lets just say its 50/50. Which is really what the quote means. Good things happen, bad things happen...its all life! Until next time heres mine!
