Elephant Rocks

 A whole layout with pictures of only me.   Will miracles never cease.     Nov. 7th we took a road trip for the day.   It was the perfect fall day and we were gone from 8:30 until 5:00, only got home then because I had to babysit my granddaughter at 7:00.   I've lived in Missouri practically all my life and there were two places I had never been, Meramac Springs and Elephant Rocks and we saw them both today.   So glad I chose these places for our road trip.   The colors were still beautiful in southern Missouri and the weather was mid 70's, what else could you ask for in November.

Im used the page map sketch for " SCRAP CHALLENGE YOURSELF"   to make this layout for their November challenge #119.

Beautiful Granddaughter

 

I thought the sketch for November at "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG" was perfect for this fantastic picture of my granddaughter who just turned 14.  

I also combined it with "SCRAPPING WITH STACY" and her Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.  I did the diagonal... One Photo, Corner Rounder and Enamel Shapes.

Mach 1

 I flew down to Texas with my brother to pick up his new Mach 1 that he bought at a dealership there, he was looking for this exact color and this is where he found it.     We had a great but fast trip.   Our flight left at 5:20 a.m. one morning and the next evening at 5:30 we were back home in Missouri.   So a 36 hour road trip for us.

I made the layout to give to my brother for his album I add too.    It works perfectly for the first challenge for October at "LASTING MEMORIES".

Pumpkin Fun Run

 

I made this double page layout using a collection I just got as a gift.   It's an old Doodlebug collection called "Candy Carnival, but it's brand new to me as of last week.    The colors worked great for these pictures of my granddaughter Elle doing a Fun Run,  ten days ago.   This is her Halloween costume, the Pink Troll, her favorite Troll.

It works perfectly for the latest  "LASTING MEMORIES"  Challenge #673 = New Stash

Chess

 Our grandkids in St. Louis love to play chess and join clubs and play in different tournaments,  in this one they both one a trophy for their age group.

I'm using this for the challenge at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  Challenge #67   -   Family Sports and Hobbies.

New Lockers

 

I made this layout for the Challenge # 670 at  "LASTING MEMORIES"    My something new for the challenge is my two grandkids learning their Locker combinations for a new school year.    This is Gibson's second year in middle school and lockers and Addisyn's first year there and to have a locker.

Autumn Tree

 I made this layout of a picture from our front door of the maple in the corner of our front yard.    The colors are so pretty.   I was out of town for a week so leaves had already stared to fall but I still was able to get a decent picture of the tree this year.
