PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to do an inventory of your home! A FIRE can destroy your life in a flash. I would HATE to have ANYONE go through what I am going through!!

Simple Moments

HOWDY ALL!

I'm trying to catch up and get my layouts posted for this month! Reminder to self: DO NOT WAIT until the end of the month to post layouts for challenges!! WHEW!

I found this sketch over at My Scraps and More Sketches;

and here is my take:
I just used white cardstock and took my TH Dusty Concord ink pad and gave it the messy look. I used some Veneer pieces. The flowers are crocheted button flowers that I made on our road trip last weekend to Kansas. I thought they turned out pretty cute. I used various stamps and also the bling butterfly and other bling from my stash. This is me and my youngest Granddaughter Paisly we were sporting purple that day!

 Here is my take:
This is my youngest grandson, he will be 2 in May and he sure LOVES it when Me-Ma takes pics of him.

Thanks So Very Much

HOWDY ALL!!

I played along with Feeling Sketchy for their International Scrapping Day/Month. They had a challenge to use this sketch for either a card or layout and you also had to play along with Let's Scrap and do their challenge. You can see my layout for that challenge HERE!

 Here is my take, I made a Thank You card;
I hope you take the time to play along with these challenges!

CRAZY Driver

HOWDY ALL!

I've been busy today, getting all my blog posts made from the past couple of weeks! EEK! It's almost the end of the month and I had several layouts done that I wanted to enter for challenges.

I found this sketch over at Scrap Much?


Here's my take:
I used these photos of my granddaughter driving the lawn mower and pulling my hubby and the burn barrel in the wagon. She got a bit big to ride on his lap on the lawnmower, so he taught her how to do the driving!

Celebration

HOWDY ALL!


I've been Scrappin' all month, I just keep forgetting to post them here on my blog. Since it is almost the end of the month, I figured I better get busy posting them!


I found this sketch over at Let's Scrap for International Scrapbook Day Challenge and you also had to play along with Feeling Sketchy for their challenge, I made a card and you can see it HERE:

 I used some Photos I had taken of my Hubby's 39th Birthday Celebration in February:

My Valentines

HOWDY ALL!

I've been scrapping off and on all month, I just keep forgetting to make my blog posts!! GEESH!! Since it's almost the end of the month, I figured I better get them entered into the challenges!

I found this sketch over at Stick it Down:

Here is my take, I had to add an extra photo, as I wanted to do all my grandkids from Valentine's Day

 Here is a close up of the left side:
 and the right side:

Did you notice the names? YES I do have and A, B, C, D and E! Unfortunately, the girls wouldn't go for F and G, so I have and M and P!! LOL! At least the first five are the start of the alphabet, the only one that was planned was the E. In actually age order it was Chrissy, Abby, Dominic and Braxton. When I realized I had A, B, C & D, I STRONGLY Suggested and E to continue, and got my wish. BUT I couldn't talk the girls into the F and G! LOL! I LOVE them all to pieces.

Our Selfie

HOWDY ALL!

I got my scrap on today!! This week has been a busy one, and my foot is giving me some major fits. (I had tarsal tunnel surgery in September, and it took until January for it to completely heal. I went back to work for 3 weeks, then was off a week due to the Dr. thinking I had a stress fracture. I was in my boot again for 3 1/2 weeks and finally thought it was better. I worked for 2 days and then had a day off. Last Monday I went back to work, and was only able to work 4 hours as the pain was so BAD I couldn't walk. So, I am back in the boot again as I can't afford another $50 for a copay for the Dr to tell me that I need to wear the boot again. SO, I am just hoping that wearing the boot for awhile will take care of it. OK SORRY that went a bit long! LOL! But, that's my life and why I go in spurts of scrapping, then may be absent for awhile.)

ANYWAY I got my list of challenges all set up this morning and figured out my pictures to go along with them. I found a couple that were not sketch related, so I decided to combine them together. So, I got 3 challenges with this one layout.

Here is my layout, this is me and my Grand daughter Paisly aka Queenie, I was trying to get a good selfie of us and she just wanted to eat the phone!:

(click on the layout for a bigger view)

I just used stuff from my stash~

EASTER DELIGHTS

HOWDY ALL!

I found this sketch over at Let's Scrap Sketches

Here is my take, I had several pictures that were taken on the same day, but different subjects, and this sketch was just AWESOME for my pics:

This is a close up of the left side, these were taken Easter 2008 at my Parents house:

This is a close up of the right side, these were taken the same day, but at my house, and these pictures are special, as they are in the house that we lost in 2012 to a fire. My grandson was not a fan of the crazy balloons, his Mommy and Daddy would blow them up and let them go and they had a plastic thing inside them, they would go crazy and chase him.


Products;
All paper is from MME Collectible collection
Chipboard letters and Veneer frame from my stash
Balloons from OA-Cakewalk
sticker letters are EP Hello Summer
Easter Delights title from a PL kit
