Snappy Birthday

Hello and Merry Christmas my scrappy friends!

Here is a LO using a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap, #215.  Great sketch for 3 photos, I used 4 photos by cutting down 2 of them.

I was able to use a variety of paper lines and scraps.

Birthday Girl

Hello again my scrappy friends!

I finished a LO about my grandma's 92nd birthday dinner from 2010.  Funny, her birthday was yesterday and she would have been 102 years old.  Guess she was on my mind.


 I did a lot of things on this LO I don't normally do or use.  Gold splatters, tissue paper, glitter chipboard, stenciling.    This LO will be entered into Lasting Memories #527, Mixed Bag Word Play challenge.  Funny, I used so many of the items on the list...I just had to find a heart and ink splatters to fulfill the challenge!  Using the word LIGHTS, my embellishments are Leaf pp, Ink (splatters and journaling), Green, Heart, Torn Paper, and Stickers (chipboard letters and heart).

Let It Snow

Hello my scrappy friends!

I made this LO last week, maybe the week before....I think I'm losing track of time!  Anyway, here is my two pager from 2008 or maybe 2009.  My kids were so small, miss those days...but hubby and I just asked our senior 18 year old if he wanted to build a ginger bread house this weekend and he said YES!!  No to decorating cookies but yes to watching some movies...Die Hard (love it) and Christmas Vacation (don't love it), but I'll take whatever time he's willing to give us.

 


I love the sketch from Stick It Down this month.  I didn't have as many photos as the sketch had, but I think I did ok with my LO.  On the right page, I used stickers to make a circle in place of the wreath.  I have such a hard time using lots of embellishments on my LO...work in progress!



I'm also entering my LO into Lasting Memories #526 challenge.  Using the mixed bag of items to use,

Doily
Heart
Flower
The color gold
The color green
Washi Tape
Tag
Circle
Chipboard

I went with colors of gold and red, tag, circle, heart and chipboard.  Such a great variety of embellies!

Sketch-N-Scrap: Happy Birthday to You card

Hello my scrappy friends!

Busy, busy time of year!  I hope you all are getting along with some crazy weather, shopping for Christmas and the continued lock downs.  We are at least getting lots of painting completed in the house, playing video games new and old and lots of movie watching! 

Birthdays are still happening, albeit a bit different with get togethers and parties, but I am keeping it real with making cards whenever I can!  Here is one for my sister, turning 41 next week and it's in the mail now!



I used some paper scraps from an Echo Park kit, some Nuvo drops in white and an old stamp set for the sentiment.  Boom, done!  Quick and easy.  Check out the Sketch-N-Scrap blog for the current card sketch #183 to enter your card!

Merry Christmas~

1st Birthday

 Hello my scrappy friends!

Today I'm posting a LO I made from my daughter's 1st birthday party.  Sigh....goes so fast.  I used the sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap #212.  Great layers on this one!  I only had 3 pictures printed so that is what I used.  However, I used a larger picture in place of the two smaller ones on the sketch.


And the sketch:

SAFE - softball layout

Hello my scrappy friends!  Happy November!

Here is a LO I created of my daughter from 2012 and 2013 playing softball.  I knew I would miss these days even though it was tough sometimes to always be running.

 


I used a patterned paper from K&Company, all outside related events.  I added some ink splatters, texture paste for the waves and circles and arrow stamps and stars.  A few stickers and some die cuts and its done!  Sometimes I have to scrap quickly before my emotions get a hold of me...but staring at my LO and the pics of my girl...here come the emotions.  They grow up to fast!

I'm entering my LO into these blog challenges:
