Thanksgiving Card

 

We have decided not to get together this Thanksgiving as we usually do and just save our big family get together until Christmas.   We are just going to be safe and social distance at Thanksgiving and get together with some portal calls and everything.

So I made this card to send to my son and his family.    I still have to make one for my daughter and her family and that will probably be all I do this year.

I combined two challenges for this card.

First Sketch #461 at   "FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES"    It was so simple and easy to work with.

 Next I used this prompt from today at   "THE SISTERHOOD OF CRAFTERS"   I haven't embossed much lately but I got out two different embossing folders for this card.

Embossing

Hello Fall

 

Went with a different design for this layout by using triangles in different colors.   I was trying to pull the colors from the  "LASTING MEMORIES"  Challenge #523 Photo/Color Inspiration #2

Love You

 My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter went out this weekend and had some family pictures taken.  This was one of my favorites of the three of them so I went right to work on a layout using the picture.   I combined fall papers and fall color palette for this layout.   Even though they were lucky and it was in the 70's this weekend in central Missouri.   Got to love a late Indian Summer.

I used the color palette challenge #211 at  "THE PAPER GIRLS CHALLENGE"

Halloween Outing

 One last family group Halloween page finished.  Had so many picture from our St. Louis family it became a two page layout.

I used the double page sketch at   "STICK IT DOWN"   for this layout.   I haven't used a double page sketch in awhile but this one was perfect for all of the pictures I had of everyone.

I also used the color scheme at  "THE PAPER GIRLS"    I so love this color palette.

Homecoming

 

I can't believe it, our oldest grandson is almost 16 and went to Homecoming this year with his beautiful date.     He can't be that old.   It wasn't that long ago I was going to Homecoming.   LOL

I went the the double "Scrappy Friends"  challenge for this layout.   I always love this combo challenge.

I started with the sketch at  "THROUGH THE EYES OF ROCHELLE SPEARS"  and then the November Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at  "SCRAP WITH STACY"  I used the middle row Wood, Arrows, 2 Photos.        On my layout I have 2 wood veneer embellishments and one of them is an arrow, the the black strip has a gold arrow on it plus I used a white gel pen for some mini arrows pointing to the pictures.

Fall Greeting Card

 I made this card this morning for the Color challenge #618 at  "THE COLOR THROWDOWN"

Hello there! It's Lynn here and I’m your hostess for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #618!  I chose some fall colors for all of us to create with and I hope you'll like creating with the colors Green, Brown, Orange and Red for this week's challenge and I hope they inspire you to create something special. We are using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown, you are all set! As always, please feel free to incorporate any neutrals that you need in your design as well!

Carve the Pumpkin

 

My granddaughter Elle wants to be involved in everything going on.   So she helped with everything including cleaning out all the seeds from the pumpkin she was going to carve with Dad.   I think she might have enjoyed the messy clean out as much as she enjoyed carving the pumpkin.   

I sued Sketch #212 at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  for this layout.
