Let's Go On a Hunt

Here I am again slipping another layout in at the challenge deadline. I actually worked on this page last night but did not finish it until this evening. I had a very busy day with my dad today. Whew, glad this is a 3 day weekend for me....I have needed it to get all the things done on my to do list and I wanted a little time to get crafty also. I used the fun sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap:

That is it for me tonight. Thanks for stopping by my blog and Happy Easter.

Let's Be Mermaids

My grandchildren are the light of my life. I wish I could see them more than once or twice a year but we sure do have fun when we are all together. This is one of my favorite pictures of the girls and I. In fact, my son and I both have this picture framed on our desks.

I used this awesome sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

I also used the colors from their mood board:

Thanks for checking out my blog....I will be back tomorrow with another page.

You Will Always Be My Baby Boy

I as able to create this page tonight after a full day of work and a little dinner. I am just slipping it in under the wire for the March 1st Sketch challenge at Stuck? Sketches

I just love Laura Whitaker's sketches and this one really inspired me to scrap these pictures of my son and I earlier this month when Dave and I visited Chicago, If you look closely, it was snowing! This Florida girl rarely gets to see snow anymore.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

We Are Adorable

My husband and I recently went on a very spontaneous road trip to Chicago to see family. For the long 16 hour drive home we both put on our red buffalo plaid flannels. We didn't even realize it until our first potty break when we shed our jackets. Great minds think alike I guess. Anyway, the occasion demanded a selfie and my camera snapped off three photos which turned out to be perfect for this awesome sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

That's it for tonight....thank you for stopping by my blog.

Snapchattin' With Dave

After a break from scrapping I am back at documenting last summer's awesome vacation with the grandkids. This is my husband Dave and our youngest granddaughter Izzy playing with an app on Dave's phone on our first night in Disney World. I used this awesome sketch by Rochelle Spears:

The March Scrappy Friends Challenge on Rochelle's blog was to use the above sketch and graph paper. I am combining it with Grand Diva's This Day in History Challenge.

I went with

Fact #2 ~ March 7, 1876 ~ Alexander Graham Bell patents the Telephone. 

Create a layout and you must add SMS language as part of your title, an embellishment or use patterned paper printed with SMS language.

Example of SMS language: 2DAY, LOL, BFF

I added the LOL embellishment below the HAPPY for this challenge.

Finally, I am entering this page in the Golden Globe Stash Challenge from Scrap Our Stash.

I had to make a happy themed layout and include some emoji embellishments...I have my 3 emoji brads on this page.

Well, that is it for tonight. Thank you for checking out my blog.

You Are One in a Melon

I need to build up my stash of thank you cards and so I made three cards this weekend and two of them were Thank You cards. But guess what? I also want to send out 2 thank you cards so my net stash of thank you cards this weekend is zero...lol. Oh well....that is why I make the card...to send them out to brighten someone's day. I just never seem to make them fast enough to build up any kind of stash. For this cute 10 minute card, I used this sketch from Tuesday Throwdown:

That is about it for now...my weekend is over and it is back to work tomorrow. I hope I can be creative this week but I must admit, it is quite the struggle to create during my busy work week. If I do find time to make something, I will be back soon to share it. In the meantime, have a wonderful week.

Happy Birthday Dad

I had a lot of fun this weekend playing along with the Creative Olympics at My Favorite Things. My Dad is turning 86 this weekend and I wanted to make him a card.  So I made this shaker card with inlaid die cutting for him and it qualifies for Event #3.... The Biathalon Challenge.

The paper I used is from my MFT Graphic Grid 6x6 paper pack. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Sweet Succulents stamp set. I just love my Stitched Star Peek-a-Boo Window die and Star Shaker pouches that I used in the middle for the shaker window.

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Add a Die Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.....Monday is done, bring on Tuesday!
