Zoo Adventure

 

Elle just out and about discovering everything at the St. Louis Zoo.    Adventurous she is, so through this tunnel she went.    They had so much fun the one day of Spring Break they spent there this year.   It started off cold but ended up to be a perfect day and warm too.

I used the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at  "SCRAP OUR STASH"   I did a diagonal, Striped Paper, Butterflies and 2 photos.

 

Easter 1956

 

This is a picture of me and I recognize my Grandmothers house.   But I'm not sure what year this was.

I'm sure it was Easter because of the daffodils in the background base and that I have on gloves, hat and purse so had to be ready for the holiday.    I'm just guessing that this was about 1956 and I would have just turned 5.    My granddaughter just turned 5 and i recognize this pose and expression when I'm asking her for just one more picture and I'm sure that is what I was feeling.   LOL

I used the sketch at  "LET'S GET SKETCHY" to make this.  I thought it was going to be tricky, but I'm so glad I went for it.

SLOTH

 

I just love these pictures of the entire family holding a sloth and that close-up of the two sloths, how cute is that.

These were perfect for the April double page sketch at   "STICK IT DOWN".

Set Sail

 

Another layout of our son and family on their Spring Break Cruise.   These pictures are all from on board the ship.      I used Sketch #151 at  "SKETCHES IN THYME"   for this layout.

Golf Time

 

Our St. Louis family did a cruise over Spring Break so I've been working on the pictures they shared to make layouts for them.   Her is Dad and two of the 3 grandkids playing mini-golf on board the ship.    They made sure to have lots of fun on board and on their excursions too.

I used "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOGSPOT" April sketch for this layout.

Always Time for Chess

 

Our two grandkids love to play chess all the time.   In fact our grandson is going to Nationals with the group he is in.

I used the April sketch at "SKETCH N SCRAP" for this layout.

So Nice to Meet You

 This was totally different design than anything I've ever done before, but it sure was fun.   This was the perfect layout for the first challenge of April at  "LASTING MEMORIES"   Challenge #593 - Shapes -Triangles.  Plus the bonus of getting to use so many little scraps I had been hoarding.    You sure can't complain about that when that happens.
