Crave the Wave

I got these pictures of my granddaughters from Orland last night off of Facebook after they had gotten home from a weekend get-away to Great Wolf Lodge.    So when I saw the Summer Swim challenge at  "BITTEN BY THE BUG 2"  this morning I knew it would be perfect to scrap these pictures and use the challenge.    I pulled out my  'Life is a Beach' cartridge and got to work.  I cut and made the mermaid,  cut a wave border and then cut the Crave the Wave title.

SUMMER SWIM CHALLENGE

Hi everyone, it's Michelle here hosting this week.  Are you enjoying some summer?  Our challenge theme

 this week is Summer Swim, so you can have some cricut fun relating to swimming in the pool, lake, river, 

ocean....did I leave anything out?  I know my family has already spent a LOT of time in the pool, so I have

 lots of pictures to scrap!  The design team has some projects below to get you inspired and you can link 

up any type of new project that has a cricut cut fitting the theme below.  Have a great week and enjoy 

some summer fun!

Wonderful Fun

I love mixing patterned papers so when I saw the last June challenge today at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  I was ready to play along.

I used a couple years old collection  Life is Beautiful by Fancy Pants for everything on this layout other than the black card stock to mat my pictures.   The collection had some fun colors and patterns and also embellishments so everything worked out great for these pictures of my granddaughters down in Florida at a special kids lunch out.

Here is the link to  "LASTING MEMORIES"  and some more information about the challenge.

LM #401 - Stash Busting - Paper Stash - use at least 5 patterned papers on your layout.  All challenges are due 6/30.

Fathers Day PL card

When I first saw the new sketch at  "SKETCHES IN THYME PROJECT LIFE STYLE"   I wasn't sure how I would use it because I don't necessarily do a weekly PL page but just running pages through out each month.   But I was ready to start my next page starting with two pictures from our Fathers Day at home so I decided to make this card to go in the pocket between the two food pictures of what we made special for the day.

Here is the sketch and the link to challenge #104 at  "SKETCHES IN THYME PL STYLE"  and following that the full PL page I made to finish the week.

Mount Rushmore

Still making layouts from our Mount Rushmore road trip back in 2006.   When I looked at the album earlier in the week I knew I had room to make lots more layouts.   So I used the July 15th sketch at
"LET'S SCRAP" for these awesome scenic pictures.  Plus the one of my brother taking his picture of Mount Rushmore.  LOL  
It's hard to put into words how break taking it is here but I was very pleased with how my pictures came out and the deep blue of the skies.
Here is the sketch and like to  "LET'S SCRAP"    You still have 10 days to enter using this sketch or
the one from June 1st.

Rushmore at Night

Not the best picture in the world but since I'm catching up on scrapping our trip to South Dakota and Mount Rushmore from 2006 I had to be sure and include this night time picture.   If you have never been there you have to be sure and visit both during the day and night.   It's just breathtaking.

I used the mid month June sketch challenge at  "LET'S GET SKETCHY"   it was perfect to showcase one single picture.

Hiking

The last couple of days I've been working on filling in my album from a family road trip to Mount Rushmore and area back in 2006.   This trip was a couple of years before I started scrapping so I hadn't scrapped all  my pictures yet.
I concentrated on my brother and daughter for these picture while we were all out hiking in some area in South Dakota.   It was so fun getting out in nature for the day.

I made this layout doing the June's Blend-A-Sketch Challenge at  "SCRAP OUR STASH"
Besides blending two sketches you ned to use either star paper or star embellishments.  I had this paper already on my desk so I went with it and then added five different wood veneer stars for my embellishments.

Here is the challenge details   "SCRAP OUR STASH CHALLENGE BLOG"

Remember Fathers Day 2018

I've had a lot of groups of pictures lately that I can use to make double page layouts so the June 1st sketch at   "LET'S SCRAP"  was perfect for these that my son just sent to me of him out with his two kids on this Father's Day.    For a hot day in Fort Worth this Fathers Day it looks like they found a lot of cool water features to be around.

Here is the sketch and the link to the challenge at   "LET'S SCRAP"

Since I'm scrapping pictures of how my son spent his Fathers Day with his kids I am also going to enter this layout at  "PILE IT ON"    Challenge #143 Holidays and/or Layers.  I did do the bonus theme also of layers on this layout too.

Here is the link and info on this challenge at   "PILE IT ON"
