BBQ

Sometimes I just have to make a food layout and this was one of them.    I took a picture of the menu and then of our two plates together.  Arthur had 3 BBQ meat combo with fries and I went with the 4 ribs and 4 wings, but my plate came out with 6 wings.  I had more than enough to bring home and eat later too.   This was our 2nd time at Wobbly Boots, there are just so many "non" chain places to eat at the lake and we are loving trying a lot of them.

I used the June 8th sketch #328  at  "SKETCHES IN THYME"  it was perfect to have two pictures and with the menu picture it was the one to have the food picture overlap on it.

Here is the sketch and the link to  "SKETCHES IN THYME"  .

Then & Now

I don't scrap many pictures of just myself but I wanted to enter the challenge #54 at
"SCRAP CHALLENGE YOURSELF" which was to use a present picture and a childhood picture of yourself.    But first I wanted to wait and find the right sketch to use with it.   Today the newest challenge came out at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  Sketch #155 was perfect for the pictures I had already picked out.

I wanted to use yellow patterned paper to go with the short set I had on in my Then picture, it was by far my favorite summer outfit for many years.  I wore that till it was all but thread bare.   But then I also wanted to incorporate some blue to go with the blue water from my now picture.  So I tore the edges of the yellow, hopefully to look like little waves on the lake and then backed it with blue patterned paper.   I added the bright blue scalloped card stock and some bling and a yellow flower for the touch of yellow again.    Plus this sketch had me using washi tape that I rarely used.

It was so fun to put these two challenges together and to look back at an old picture of me and document about it.

Here are the links and challenge info.

Happy Father's Day Jason

I made this Father's Day card this morning for my son.   I decided to personalize it a little more with his name in mini alphas at the top.
I used the #1Dad cricut cut from the Celebrate With A Flourish cartridge.   I have used this cartridge for him before for birthday and Father's Day cards using the fish and pole cut and the set of golf clubs cut, both hobbies of his.  But this time I decided to go with this.   He is such a good Dad to his son and daughter and I'm so proud of him.

I will enter this card at the latest   "BITTEN BY THE BUG 2"   Challenge which is appropriately  a Fathers Day Challenge.

FATHER'S DAY

Happy Fathers Day Dad

This morning I was busy making my Fathers Day cards,  I needed to make 3.  I had to get them made and to the Post Office to mail.   Two go to the same state I'm in and could make it on time, the other one goes to my son in Texas so he will probably get his late.  Especially since I live and mail from a small town.

Anyway I did luckily remember to get pictures of the cards and this one I will enter in 2 different challenges.

#1  "STINKIN' INKERS CHALLENGE BLOG"  the newest challenge is  'The Guys Have It'
and my Dad sure does, he is the Best Dad I could ever imagine.   We just celebrated his 95th birthday last weekend with Margaritas to go with our dinner which was one of his requests.   :)
So this Fathers Day card is perfect for him.

#2  "FABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE BLOG"   This weeks challenge #328 is Father's Day.
Or course you have to use at least one cricut cut on your project.   I used this  #1 Dad cut from my all time favorite cartridge 'Celebrate With a Flourish'.   Plus the cut' #1 Dad describes my Dad to the tee.

Lunch

I just spent  a long weekend with my granddaughter so have a lot of pictures to scrap.   I  am
starting off with this using the single page sketch at  "STICK IT DOWN"    It was perfect for my main picture showing that cute face coved in her lunch and then four little pictures I snapped while she was eating.

Here is the sketch and link to   "STICK IT DOWN"

Tubing

Didn't get a lot of pictures of the grandkids tubing but did get enough for a layout.
Bryce the oldest could go alone and then he took both his little brother and little sister out with him at different times.

I used the sketch #154, the first layout sketch for June at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  it was perfect that
I got to use 3 pictures and include everyone.
