YUM

 

I’m going to enter this layout a “CHALLENGE YOURSELF”  these are pictures from earlier this week.  

Road Trip

 

I'm trying to catch up on making some layouts from some Road Trips my brother and I have taken.   This one we drove back to central Missouri from Abilene, TX.  We flew there to pick up this blue Mustang that my brother bought there,  we took our time driving home and stopped at some Route 66 stops along the way, many we had been to before on a Route 66 vacation but we had some we just wanted to stop at again and this was one in Chelsea, OK.     I'm using this for Challenge #730 "2024 Second Chances at "LASTING MEMORIES"

LM #730 - create a layout using a favorite challenge from 2024 or a challenge you wanted to play along with but missed the deadline.

I went back to challenge #708 - Scrap Your Favorite Scrapping Topic and for me that is always Road Trips and Vacations.

Trick or Treat 2024

 These are my two nephews that live in Australia celebrating Halloween this year.  I used the December sketch at "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG"  and combined it with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge by "SCRAPPING WITH STACY"   I did the diagonal - premade title, Stickers and Stripes.

STAYCATION

 

I'm catching up on some small trips from last  year.  My brother and I did a day trip just hours from home and went to Maramec Springs.   It had been decades since I had been there.   I made this layout with just pictures of him and will give to him for his album I  keep adding too.

I used the "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG" sketch for this layout and then played along with the tic-tac-toe challenge at "SCRAP WITH STACY".  I did the diagonal Ephemera, 3 photos and brads.

Christmas Wreaths

 

My brother and I have been busy getting his house all decorated for Christmas this year as we will have a full family vacation with everyone together for the first time in 7 years and now two more grandkids have been added.   There will be 17 of us and traveling to Columbia, MO from Sydney, Australia, Dallas, TX, Miami, FL and  upstate New York.      

I will add this to the challenge #131 at “SCRAP-CHALLENGE-YOURSELF”.   I have the picture of myself with the Christmas wreaths we put on the front door and then I did  a grid layout background.

Hello Fall

 

Scrapping is slower the last couple of weeks with my husband having surgery and then a few complications, but hopefully on the uphill now.   I made this layout today of some fall tree’s in the neighborhood I got pictures of yesterday.

I’m entering this layout at   “LASTING MEMORIES”   for challenge #723 to use items that have been in your stash for 2+ years.   I’m not sure how old these fall collection papers and tags and stickers are but I haven’t bought any new fall collections in probably 4 years.

For this week's challenge, we are taking our inspiration from FALLING LEAVES and saying out with the old! 

LM #723 - Use an item that's been in your stash for 2+ years.

The End

 I’m finishing up my scrapbook from our Alaskan Cruise in May.    It was cold weather and rainy a lot but I’m so glad I finally made it to Alaska.   Now I want to go back again and see more.

I’ll be entering this layout at  “LASTING MEMORIES” Challenge  #724.

LM #724 - Find inspiration in the growing crops by using ascending sizes of paper strips or shapes OR create a colorful ombre design to symbolize the growth.
