Silly Fun

I'm working on a big scrapbook album for my daughter for Christmas of all the family road trips and vacations we took together before she got married.    This was one in Europe to visit her in college, my Dad, husband, brother and nephew all flew over to spend 10 days there with here and traveling around.   One trip we made was to Amsterdam and this are pictures there in the area around the zoo, she and her cousin bing silly.

The new sketch #189 at    "SKETCH N SCRAP"   was perfect for getting to use all four of
these pictures together.

Here is the sketch.

Christmas Carol Cards

"SOUL SCRAPPERS" is having a challenge for the 12 Cards of Christmas.    The first challenge is to

Funny Girl

I just took these pictures of Elle Tuesday night when we were all out to dinner,   she wanted the orange slice I had in my ice tea.   She did eat it all but not before she had fun with it and got all the laughs she wanted making these faces.   I even got in on the act with her, so we had fun.

I used the November Saturday Cartoon Sketch Challenge at  "SCRAP OUR STASH"  and I made sure to include some fruit embellishments and fruit in my papers too.

Fall Together

Every Saturday morning is Tinkergarden outside with a group of kids and their parents, there are always lots of fun activities planned and after every playtime they get a "badge"  the leaf Elle is holding is the one for this last week.    When the kids posted this picture of the 3 of them together I knew I had to make a Fall layout.   So here is what I came up with, no sketch, just started adding things together.

I was inspired by three different challenges.

"THE PAPER GIRLS"   Challenge #187 - Mixed Up Manufactures
 I used papers from Simple Stories, Photo Play and Echo Park, and also the orange leaf came from Recollections.


"USE YOUR STUFF"  Challenge #180 - Fall project with 3 leaves.   I have 3 plus leaves, with the the paper, stickers, fabric leaf and hand cut brown leaf.


"CRAZY HAZELNUT'S PATTERNED PAPER CHALLENGE"  - November challenge as is every month is to use a mix of patterned paper on  your project.,  Ihave that covered, with 5 different patterned papers.

Fishing in the Great Outdoors

Hi everyone I'm back again this week as the Guest Designer here at  "LASTING MEMORIES"
What fun challenges there are this month,  last week was polka dots and now this week its all about
striped paper.  I used the two tone stripe paper from Echo Park Dots and Stripes collection.  I even used part of the tear strip on the page for the left edge of the picture.
I kept it in muted colors and nothing fancy to showcase the picture of my son enjoy his time outside and getting some great fishing in that he loves.  

Here is the link to "LASTING MEMORIES"  have fun this week and all month, can't wait to see what you do with this challenge.

USE STRIPED PATTERNED PAPER ON YOUR LAYOUT.

HELLO FALL

We are going to see our grandkids in St. Louis tomorrow and I always have more layouts ready to take to them whenever we are together here or there.   I went through the stack I had made up and then found these pictures of Addisyn that I hadn't scrapped yet so went to work on getting one last layout made to take with me.

I'm entering them in the double Scrappy Friends Challenges

"THROUGH THE EYES OF ROCHELLE SPEARS CHALLENGE BLOG"
She has this awesome sketch this month that I used.

"SCRAP WITH STACY"
Has a great mood board for November and I was inspired by all the leaves, the fall trees, the pumpkin and all the gold/red/oranges colors of the falling leaves.

One other challenge this layout is great for is "CRAZY HAZELNUT'S PATTERNED PAPERS"
