Let It Snow

 We had snow days all last week and my brother's family that was in town for the holidays from Australia were in heaven getting to play in the snow.    I used the Scrappy Friends double challenge for this layout.  First the sketch from "THROUGH THE EYES OF ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOGSPOT"

Next was the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at  "SCRAP WITH STACY"  I used a diagonal, with Gold, Circle and Splatters.

My Best Life

 

I made this layout for the  "SCRAP  CHALLENGE  YOURSELF"   January Challenge #133.

As every month we have to include a photo for ourself and then this months them was to tell things about ourself.  I knew immediately what I was going to scrap.   This is totally me.

he theme for this month's challenge is to create a scrapbook page about YOU.  Tell us a little (or a lot!) about you.

AND DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE A PHOTO WITH YOU ON YOUR PROJECT!  

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.
