Charleston

A rainy weekend, our boat needs a service call so this is the weekend to stay inside and scrap.
Plus this family above is coming next weekend and I want to get as many layouts finished of them as I can for them to take home with them.   This is the last I had to make of their spring break trip this last March.

I used the new Tic-Tack Toe challenge at   "THE STUDIO CHALLENGES"   I went on the diagonal top right to lower left,   Circle, Blue and Heart

Here is the link to the challenge and the tic-tac-toe board to work with.   So many fun choices.

Mothers Day 2018

I totally forgot to get pictures of my daughter and myself while we were together on Mothers Day but luckily my daughter-in-law didn't forget to get pictures with her kids so I did have pictures to use for a Mothers Day layout.   I love that I got to use this PL card too on the layout.

I'll enter this at   "USE YOUR STUFF"  Challenge #311 - For the Moms.

Challenge #311 - For the Moms

It's Amanda here with this week's challenge.

This week in honour of Mother's Day we are celebrating the moms, 

or the mother figures, in our lives!

Bloom

   It's rainy outside once again today so I loved the ideas of creating something with Spring Flowers.
Plus I have a couple of challenges where I need to make cards with flowers.

First   "STINKIN' INKERS CHALLENGE BLOG"    This is the link and the information.   Still 5 days to enter and you can enter up to 4 times.

The theme for this month's challenge is:

"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

Use flowers on your project.

---------------------

2nd is the challenge at  "THE PAPER PLAYERS" and link.

Remember in addition to the theme of "blooms", this week is a Clean-and-Simple (CAS) challenge!  What do we mean by CAS?

• Minimal layers and embellishments
• Plenty of open space, aka "white" space
• Simple and uncluttered

My latest Project Life page

The 2nd May sketch is out at "SKETCHES IN THYME PROJECT LIFE STYLE" and I had most of my latest page finished but I was going to add a picture from todays Royal Wedding for my one empty pocket left.   Then when I saw the sketch #102 yesterday  I thought I could use it perfectly with my yet to be printed wedding picture.     I made my card using the sketch and then added my picture this morning.

Here is the link to  "SKETCHES IN THYME PROJECT LIFE STYLE"  and the sketch I used and after that I have added my full PL page.  

Cruise Dinner

I've been having fun this month with all the regular challenges at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  and also their Birthday Bash challenges on Facebook.    So I was justing waiting for the next sketch to be announced.    That is what I did this layout using sketch #153.

Here is the link and sketch from  "SKETCH N SCRAP"

Family

This is the family picture the kids had taken on their cruise over Spring Break in March.   They had a great time and I've scrapped a lot of pictures from their trip, but mostly of the kids.   So I'm really gad I can scrap this one now of all of them.

I will enter this at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  for one of their March Variety of Shapes challenges.
This is for Challenge #394 - Hearts.

 Our theme for this month is "Variety of Shapes" and this week we are working with hearts.

LM #394 - Use one or more hearts on your layout

I love Malette

I'm playing along with  "LET'S GET SKETCHY"  and they are partnering up with a challenge in May at  "PAPER ISSUES FANS & FRIENDS"  with the sketch i used here for this layout.
I did rotate the sketch because the picture I wanted to used was a vertical picture.

Here is the link and sketch at  "LET'S GET SKETCHY"   this was the May 1st sketch and they had another sketch revealed today, the 15th.  I love playing along with their sketches, always so good and now I've done both of them today.
