A Windy Day

I just love this pictures of my granddaughter Mylan.   Looks like they had a pretty windy day in Texas this last December.    I've had the pictures printed for awhile now but I found the die-cut yesterday in my stash  so today it was my first to do layout.   Just had to find the right sketch.

I used February Week #1  at "LET'S GET SKETCHY"   A fun layout for a single picture.
So here is the sketch and check out what the design them made and all the details   HERE.

FUN !!!

This was a fun layout to put together.   The whole family was hamming it up outside the T-Rex Cafe before we went in for dinner.    The kids loved looking at everything, inside and out.

I used sketch #469 at "SCRAPBOOK CHALLENGES" for this one.   I also made it with a challenge in mind from my scrapbooking yahoo group.  One of this months challenge is Old and New, to combine one of your newer collections and older ones.   I used a piece of paper from My Minds Eye - Kraft Day collection from 2011 as the back ground piece and the other two patterned papers are from Elle's Studio Thankful collection from 2015.

Here is the sketch and go  HERE   to see what others have made from the sketch.

A Valentine Heart for You.

I'm making several Valentine cards this week and I really like this double embossed cricut cut hearts.

Then for a little more accent on it I added a flower on top.

I'm going to enter this card for two challenges.  First off  "THE PAPER GIRLS" challenge #97 Valentine/Love

See the challenge details   HERE.

I'm going to enter this card at the "FANTABULOUS CRICUT"  challenge #269 Valentines Day.

Check out the challenge    HERE.

Getting Ready for Valentines day

The last couple of days I've been working on all my valentine cards.   Besides my hubby, I send to my kids, and grandkids and Dad.  So have a variety to get made.

For this card I used the sketch at "DIE CUTTIN' DIVA'S"   My cupid die cut worked perfect for this card.   I've been doing a lot  hearts of cards, so using this diecut was a fun change.

I will also enter the challenge at "THE PAPER GIRLS" challenge #97 Valentine/Love

I am also entering this in the "ALLSORTS CHALLENGE BLOG"  Week #348 is "Bring on the Bling" and that is what I did with this card.   I have a strip of hot pink bling going down the left side of the patterned paper and the on the right corners and a silver piece of bling on the tip of the arrow.

Happy early Valentines Day to everyone.

Another Valentine Card

I made this square Valentine card today.   I don't usually do a lot of cards or layouts with a lot of white background.  But I laid out some papers to use but decided I really liked the white card itself the best.     I used the sketch #337 at  "TUESDAY MORNING SKETCHES"
It was perfect for making another Valentine card.   Plus I love this sketch so will definitely be keeping it and using it again.

Here is the sketch and click HERE for all the details.

 

Valentine card

I have already made a couple of Valentine cards but still have more to make.   So I combined three challenges when making this card.

First I used the card sketch at    "STICK IT DOWN", this is one of 3 monthly challenges there  and then the tic-tac-toe wild card week challenge #328 at "JUST US GIRLS"   and last but not least "THE PAPERS GIRLS" challenge #97 Valentine/Love  they all combined with ease.      Click the links to each site to see the details and enter.

Here is the sketch

And here is the tic-tac-toe board.  I chose the 1st vertical row.  Ribbon, Pearls & Layers.

PGCB #97 - Valentine/Love

Girl Scout Cookies and a Thank You

I ordered girl scout cookies from my grand daughter in Texas and they got here the other day in the mail along with a thank you card (she loves anything dogs, so I know these are cards she had picked out.    So I took a picture of the cookies and the card an the cut out the inside of what she wrote to say.   But the real reason I wanted to make the layout is the little bit I journaled about  and remember this.   Mylan made three facetious over the course of one day to talk to me and sell the cookies.   The first time we probably talked 20 minutes and about a variety of subjects.   Then 2 hours later she called back to just make sure she knew what kind of cookies I wanted because we had changed subjects so many times.   Then we talked another 10 minutes about school.    Then that night before she went to bed, she made another FaceTime call all giggly saying, Grandma, tell me one more time what cookies you want.    I just love that sweetie.

So I went looking for a sketch I might use to make this layout and save this memory and I chose the January sketch at     "MY CREATIVE SKETCHES"   it worked perfectly for me and I got to add the inside parts of the card and keep Mylans handwriting at this age.

Here is the sketch and you still have over a week to enter.  Check it all out  HERE.
