Valentine for Elle

 
I made this Valentine card today for my 3 year old granddaughter Elle.   I had fun picking out the little tag to use on it from a Pebbles Valentine collection, then it was extra fun personalizing two of the tags.   My daughter saves all of Elles cards she gets for any occasion so I always want to make something personal for her.

I am going to enter this in two different challenges.

1.   "THE PAPER PLAYERS"

2.  "CRAFTY HAZELNUT'S PATTERNED PAPER"

LOOK AT ME

I've had this picture of my granddaughter Mylan printed for about a month now and finally this morning got around to scrapping it.

I didn't follow any sketch, just put it together  with punch borders.   I used two different punches.
and just played around with a design.

I will add this to the challenge #483 at  "LASTING MEMORIES"

Hello, everyone! Happy Sunday to you! Welcome back to Lasting Memories. It's the start of a new month and that means we have a new theme and a new set of challenges for you.

Valentine Card

I've made a couple of Valentine cards back  in January but I need more so concentrating on some today.

I used the  February card sketch at  "STICK IT DOWN"    It was fun making this card because I used all scraps of paper on my card.

Here is the card sketch and link to  "STICK IT DOWN"  

I am also going to enter this at "CRAFTY HAZELNUTS PATTERNED PAPER CHALLENGE"

I used 4 different patterned papers on my Valentine card.

Happy Birthday Bruce

My brothers 66th birthday is a week from today so I got this card made for him today.

I was inspired by the challenge at   "SHOPPING OUR STASH"    Challenge #412 - Winter Blues.

He has a winter birthday and I just went to my stash pulled out some blue birthday paper and some number  stickers and made this simple card for him.

Here is the link to  "SHOPPING OUR STASH"  

Shopping Our Stash #412 - Winter Blues

Greetings & salutations crafty pals!

Don't know about you, but our crew has the Winter Blues...why fight it...we decided to embrace it and make it a challenge theme!

That means we want to see something winter related, or something predominantly blue on your project.

Thanksgiving 2017

I discovered yesterday that I had not made any Thanksgiving layouts from this last year for myself, so I got busy and made two pages.    Then last night when I was going to put the layouts in my chronological Thanksgiving album I discovered I hadn't made any layout from 2017 either.  
So today I printed some pictures and made this double page layout.   Now I'm up to date.

I was looking first for challenges and I saw the one at  "THE STUDIO CHALLENGES".

I loved the Color Palette for the challenge and started looking through my fall/thanksgiving collection of papers and found these papers and Pl style cards and put them together using the palette below.

Day Trip in Missouri

I have been hoarding this piece of Missouri paper for awhile now trying to figure out how to use it and not totally cover up the big map of the state.     When I saw the new Sketch #193 yesterday at
"SKETCH N SCRAP"  I knew it would work for some pictures of the day trip my brother and I
took the first of the year.    I outlined the map and also the Missouri in the middle just so it would
stand out a little bit more.

Here is the link to "SKETCH N SCRAP"  and the sketch I used.
