Lego Land, FL

My Florida grandkids have had a  couple of short trips over their spring break and this last part of the break they spend a  couple of days at Lego Land in Florida not that far from their home.
Dad had fun too because he loves carnival games and they had plenty to play there and he won lots of prizes for the girls.   Not sure who was having the most fun.

I used the last sketch for the month at  "SKETCHES IN THYME"  for this layout.

Here is the info and link is above in the name to the challenge.

You still have through the 31st to play along with this sketch or the other sketches for March.

Winter Hibiscus

When I saw the latest challenge at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  I  knew what I would do for my layout.    Just that morning I had walked upstairs and saw that our hibiscus was blooming again.
It had sat on the landing going upstairs in front of this big sunny window and through the winter
had bloomed several time and a new flower had just opened again.   All I had to do was find
the background paper to use and this is what I selected.

Here is the link to  "LASTING MEMORIES"  and the information on the challenge #439.

#439 - Photo Inspiration - Florals and Succulents Wreath

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the final challenge of March. Can you believe that March is almost over? This year is moving right along!

Before we get to the last challenge of the month, we want to say a big thank you to our guest designers for March, Melissa and Cindy. I have loved seeing their beautiful layouts each week.

Now, onto the challenge. This month, DT member Lauren has been challenging us with beautiful inspiration photos. You can use anything from the inspiration photo - the colors, the shapes, the elements in the photos, etc. to create your layouts. This week's challenge is:

LM #439 - Florals and succulents in a wreath

It's Beach Time

I'm entering this for my 2nd entry at  "THE PAPER GIRLS CHALLENGE"   for their challenge
#172 - Under the Sea.   Our two granddaughters spent 3 days of their spring break at Sanibel Island, FL and had plenty of beach time.

Here is the link to the "THE PAPER GIRLS CHALLENGE"  and the challenge info.

Challenge #172- Under the Sea

Hey there everyone! It's Erica here with the newest challenge on PGCB. Here in North America there has been crazy weather and I thought it would be fun to have a sea themed challenge. So the challenge is Under the Sea. This is a great time to use those beach pictures that you haven't scrapbooked or some of the fun stamps you've been itching to use. 

Aquarium

A week ago we took a day trip to Springfield, MO,   it's just an hour and a half away.    We had half price tickets to World of Wildlife and Aquarium.    It had just been open for a couple of years and I had heard nothing but rave reviews about it.   Now I know why.   We spent 4 hours walking around and seeing everything.     It was awesome, so many different displays and areas to explore.   We loved it.    I am going to have lots of layouts to cover this excursion.    Here is the double I just made to show some of the displays of sea shells and then also some of the living wonders of sea life.

I'm entering this at  "SOUL-SCRAPPERS"     This is their E2N23 challenge that just started yesterday.   You have until  April 22nd to enter this challenge.

Lovely Granddaughters

I was so glad when I saw the new challenge #341 at  "USE YOUR STUFF"  this week.   The challenge is Washi Tape.   I have a good supply of  Washi Tape but I never think to use it.

I just got these pictures of my granddaughters from Orlando yesterday.  They are spending 3 days of their Spring Break at Sanabel Island.

I was looking for pictures that would compliment the colors in the bathing suit jackets and I pulled out my DCWV stack Elegant and Serene because I knew the colors in it would work great.   I decided to just use this one background piece and then accent it with some washi tape that would blend with it.  I started with the muted pastel tape with Cherish in gold on it.   Perfect color and sentiment for my pictures.   I put that stripe across the center of the page and the added a pink and gold strip of washi tape above that and then I have this really narrow pink and gold washi and I put two strips of those right together below the center washi.

Here is the link to the challenge at   "USE YOUR STUFF".

Challenge #351 - Washi tape

Hey Everyone! Lori here today to share this week's challenge. For this week's challenge, it's time to break out the washi tape and put it to use...use a little, use a lot, we want to see that awesome washi take a turn on your projects this week!

Aquarium Trip

Last Friday on the spur of the moment we took off for a 90 minute drive to Springfield, MO.   Just the night before I read in our Lake paper that the Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium had half price tickets for residents of surrounding counties all the way up to Lake of the Ozarks where we live.
Regular tickets are $44 per person, which I would not have spent but at $22 I wanted to go.
I'm so glad we went because it was incredible, we walked around looking at everything for just shy of four hours.   So it was time well spent.

I am entering this layout at   "THE PAPER GIRL CHALLENGES"  the 2nd challenge for March is
Challenge #172 - Under The Sea.    So of course our aquarium visit was perfect for the challenge.
Check out the link above and enjoy playing along.
