Easter Card

 
I made this Easter card today.   I will be sending it to one of my Granddaughters.
I used the sketch challenge at  "TRY STAMPIN' ON TUESDAY"   I also used the optional theme of Green,  then added the March technique challenge  of embossing.   I used one embossing folder on the green patterned background paper and another one on the tan square where I added the Easter Basket sticker.

Here is the link to "TRY STAMPIN' ON TUESDAY" and the sketch that I used.

#198 Anything Goes + A Sentiment

Today has been all about making Easter cards.    I will be entering this one into two different challenges.     First is card sketch  for week #504 at  "SKETCH SATURDAY"
Here is the sketch.

Then the 2nd challenge I'll enter is at  "AUD SENTIMENTS CHALLENGE BLOG"
Here is the information on that challenge.

#198 Anything Goes + A Sentiment

 Welcome to Challenge #198

The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes + A Sentiment

You can make any type of project you want for this challenge such as a card, tag, scrapbook layout, altered item, pocket letter, box, etc.  Just make sure you follow the theme and include a sentiment.

Sympathy Card

One card I don't keep in my stash is Sympathy cards because I hope I never need them.   But a week ago a friend from my old neighborhood lost her husband.    We didn't do a lot together but were together on our Home Association board, in fact she was the one that first recruited me to join the board.    Even though I moved from this town last fall I still wanted to get a card out to her and let her know she was in my thoughts.

I used the card sketch #117 at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  to make this card.     It worked perfectly for this sketch.

Here is the sketch and link to all the challenges at   "SKETCH N SCRAP"  this month.   Check them out, 2 layouts and 2 card sketches per month are here to use.

Birthday card

My grandson will be 12 later in the month and I made this personalized card for him today.

The four strips of pennants are strips of washi tape.   I used them for the Wishi/Washi challenge
at   "STINKIN' INKERS CHALLENGE BLOG"    I usually don't think to use a lot of washi tape but this was fun making this background design using the washi tape.

Getting Ready for Spring

Elle was out and about yesterday with her Mom and Dad doing a little shopping and they sent me these pictures.   Of course I just had to scrap them.    I had been holding on to the sketch #148 at
"SKETCH N SCRAP"  and since it was for 2 pictures I knew it would work great for these.

I also saw the new sketch this morning at  "THE STUDIO CHALLENGES"   which is a recipe challenge.   There are 10 items in it to try and see how many you can use on your project.   I used 8 of the 10 on mine, Stamping, Ribbon, Stitching (faux for me), Purple (3 enamel hearts), Flowers, Aqua color, Enamel Dots and Hearts.

Here are the links and more info on the challenges.

Scrapping Everyday

There is another great new challenge today at  "LASTING MEMORIES"      March is National Craft Month.   Yeah for all of us scrapbookers.      The challenge is to create a layout about a craft you do or about your craft room.   I decided to go with a layout about my room.    Since we moved to the lake last fall I have a lot more space and I use every bit of it.

Check out the details here at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  and happy scrapping.

@ Times Square

I made another layout today from an old vacation.   This was a scrappy goal for 2018 for me was to fill in all my vacation albums with more layouts.   I sure always take enough pictures so will have more to scrap for every trip.

This will be my 2nd entry at  "THE PAPER GIRLS CHALLENGE"  for their "Travel/Vacation Fun"  challenge that is going on now.

Here is the link to  "THE PAPER GIRLS CHALLENGE" and all the details.
