ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC25 - Week 25

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week is going to be a mixed bag of work, art, errands and sewing.  At least, that's the plan.

Here's how my days passed...

SUNDAY - Weekly Morning Art Zoom found us playing Roll the Dice.  In an effort to conserve space on the final spread of this Hangout Journal, I opted to merge the two sets of prompts and ended up with the following collage:

After lunch, I returned to the studio to work on last week's Get Messy lesson titled Step Into Yourself with @ sarajohanneart:

I also completed the ROOTED theme from Meg Journals in my Catalysts & Curiosities journal:

MONDAY - Work

After work, I was relaxing on the couch when I got a text from LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color wondering if we might be able to have our Weekly Zoom Call today.  Sure!  I opted to stay parked on the couch which, as it turned out, was unfortunate for this week's photo:

We enjoyed a relatively short call with LeeAnna since I needed to grab a quick dinner and leave for my monthly Quilt Guild meeting.  Remarkably, I took ZERO photos during this evening's "Keep it Simple, but Pack a Punch" presentation by west coast quilt artist Rachel Derstine via Zoom.

TUESDAY - Day Off 

Day 1 of my mid-week weekend.  I'm not scheduled to work again until Friday.

I attended Open Studio with Barb and layered up my cards for the Get Messy June Postcard Swap.  When it became apparent that the cards needed a little something more, splatters were added later, thanks to a suggestion from Britt during an "art by committee" texting session:

In neighborhood construction news...

After 2 weeks of waiting for inspections, the foundations for House #18 and #19 (the final two houses!) have been poured:

WEDNESDAY - Day Off

Day 2 of my mid-week weekend.  The task of the day?  Groceries.  On the way out, I noticed that roofing was being done on House #17:

Once groceries were put away and lunch was done, I worked on quilting my contribution (made with scraps) for Kristen @ Scrap Fabric Love's Scrap Club group quilt:

THURSDAY - Day Off

Day 3 of my mid-week weekend was spent with my Weekly Morning Quilt Group friends, but I neglected to get a photo.  I stopped for take-out at the newly opened Love & Tacos restaurant down the road.  The authentic tacos and guacamole came in an adorable gift bag which was immediately transformed into this journal page at Curiosity Collective for today's Life's Little Layers lesson with @ andreaokesonart:

I left early for a doctor visit (No, I'm not sick. Yes, I finally reached out for a referral to a pulmonologist about my stupid cough that's been going on for nearly 14 months.)  Before leaving, I cut out ransom note letters for my swap packets and added them when I got home.  They are ready to be mailed off tomorrow: 

FRIDAY - Work Day Off

I had been scheduled to work today, but got a message saying that my shift was canceled.  There was no Knit Group today, but I was able to run some errands and get home in time to attend Get Messy's Open Studio with Deandra.  I worked on the REVERSE prompt for ICAD thanks to helpful suggestions from those in attendance...

Then moved on to adhering the clear page into my Happy Mail journal...

I decided on using painted paper strips to accomplish that:

Thank you again for a fun ATC trade with all the yummy ephemera, Debbie M.!

Later, at my Weekly Evening Art Zoom, Britt and I chatted while waiting for the others to arrive...

Lacking inspiration for a few cards, I jumped ahead to the PINK prompt for the Index-Card-a-Day challenge from Tammy @ Daisy Yellow Art:

SATURDAY - Work

It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week.

Next week there will DEFINITELY be some ORANGE scrap sewing, as I will need to complete the entry I've planned for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge.  As you saw in an earlier entry, I did set my machine back up.  It's primed and ready to go.

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!
