Beautiful

I saw this sketch #86 at Feeling Sketchy and knew I had to do another vacation layout with another scenery picture.   The sketch needed an oversized picture so I printed this one at 6x8.   I took so many different pictures of this area.   The view out the back door of our vacation rental.   Could sit on the lanai for our meals and see this,  sit out by the swimming poor and hear the waves.   Just beyond beautiful.   I'm ready to go back.       Check out the challenge    HERE

Wedding Card

Yesterday I made a couple of "pre" wedding layouts for my daughters upcoming wedding on May 4th.    Today I was up early and made this card to give the happy couple on their wedding day.
I've had this cute little bride and groom die-cut for awhile now and then to go with it.   I pulled out my SRM stickers and found this perfect greeting from the Fancy Sticker Sentiments #55003 Love.
Lots of great love sticker on this sheet but this was the one perfect for my wedding card.
I'm going to enter this card in the April challenge at SRM Celebrations.

Making Pre-Wedding Layouts

Less than a month till Leslie's wedding and less than 3 weeks till I go to DC to help out with the last week pre-wedding stuff.   I can't wait.      So in thinking about the wedding today I decided to go ahead and make a couple of pre-wedding layouts.   One I made was pictures from the last fitting of her dress and then this I made today from the pictures Leslie sent me on Sunday when she went to her hairdresser to start deciding on how to do her hair for the wedding.    To make the layout I used the new sketch at Let's Get Sketchy.    It's the first sketch for April.     Check out the challenge   HERE>
and see the sketch below.

CAS - Birthday Card

I used the sketch on top here from Clean and Simple Stamping to make this b'day card.

Even with the yellow flower background paper, I think since its on a dark brown card base and border and a tan card stock with the greeting stamped on it, I can use it for a masculine b'day card.

Plaza Bunnies

Another Friday and another sketch at My Scraps and More.   this is sketch #75 that was announced 4/4/14.   I always look forward to seeing the new sketch each Friday.     So a new sketch and a layout with new pictures.   I just took these yesterday while we were walking around the Plaza before we went to dinner.   Check out the details of the challenge    HERE   and see the sketch below.

Fajita Night on Vacation

 It seems this week I've been making layouts with multiple pictures.   I already made 2 layouts with 5 pictures each and now I have one made with 6 pictures.     I used sketch #66 at Let's Capture Our Memories.      Below is the sketch    and you can check out the full challenge     HERE
My journaling talks about how much fun it was to cook at home even during vacation.  We rented a house in Hawaii and it was so well equipped it made cooking while on vacation fun, plus they had 2 different sets of fantastic dinners so was just fun.   Plus when you are cooking and you have a view of the ocean just a few yards away, who wants to go anywhere else.

D.C. Visit

Leslie's Dad had a 4 day visit to DC last week for a pre-wedding get together.    Leslie said the weather was cold and wet the whole time but they did go out and do more sightseeing so I got these pictures of FB and made the layout to take to her at the end of the month.  
I've had this single piece of DC paper forever so was great to use it.   I thought it was fine for the sketch I used.      Check it out     HERE      and below.    It's sketch #74 at My Scraps and More.
