HAPPY HOLIDAYS - GDT SCRAPPING4FUN CHALLENGES

Once again I have been chosen to Guest Design for Scrapping4fun Challenges. Today's challenge #53 is NON Traditional Christmas colours.

I decided to create an Origami tree Christmas card.

TOGETHER - SCRAPTOBER FEST CHALLENGES

The weather sure has been nasty with strong winds and a ton of rain! What better way to pass the time than creating.

Today I would like to share with you a layout that I created for an AWESOME challenge.

This photo was taken of my Mom, my daughter and myself at my Grandson's birthday party at a local bowling alley. Pretty good photo for being taken in the dark at a bowling alley.

Here are some closeups....

And here is the AWESOME challenges that I mentioned earlier....

First off the inspiration came from this sketch from The Memory Nest

And the colour challenge from My Scraps & More

Use at least two different washi tapes from Scrap Our Stash (I used 3) 

and

the final part of the challenge is from Challenge Yourself and the challenge is to create a layout with yourself in it.

I am so fortunate to have these two wonderful ladies in my life!!!!

I had a lot of fun participating in this fun challenge! Thanks for stopping by! 

Stay Crafty!!!

ROCKET MAN

I am back today with another Halloween layout! I am happy to say that I now have scrapped both of my Grandson's costumes from 2014....just in time for this Halloween!

Here is my layout....

Isn't he just the cutest! Love it when we capture his winks!!!

Last Halloween was horrible weather wise...it rained all day....hence the reason all of the photos were taken on our tiny front porch. You can see in the background how wet the street was. That didn't stop them from having a wonderful time Trick or Treating!!!

Here are some closeups....

I knew when I saw this October Afternoon paper at a store that was recently going out of business, that it would be a perfect background paper for the "Astronaut in Orange"!!! The other papers I used are Teresa Collins - Haunted Hallows. I added some TC chipboard and Making Memories & Studio G embellishments to finish it off. My Thickers title was just short the letter "e" so I did a little cutting and made one.

I was inspired by Laura Whitaker's fabulous sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy October Week 1. 

I was also inspired by the challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge and the challenge is to create a layout in less than one hour! I didn't think that I could do it, but I did!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Stay Crafty!!!

Too Cute To Spook

Well Halloween is just around the corner, so I have been working on last years photos to share with you.

What an adorable little Spiderman eh?

Here are some closeups....

I used the sketch from Boy's Rule Scrapbook Kits for inspiration.

Hopefully I get a couple more done before All Hallow's Eve is upon us once again!

Stay Crafty!!!

We took these photos on Thanksgiving Weekend. In between volunteering and having fun at the Fair we took some time and raked up leaves and took some fun photos!!!

I was inspired by the sketch at Stick It Down.

I was also inspired by the mood board at Berry71bleu - Use the colors orange, brown and gold. Incorporate layers of leaves in your project.

Here is my layout....

And some closeups....

Product List - Lucky 7 Factory (Made in Canada), Cosmo Cricket, Simple Stories Chipboad & papers. Bicycle embellishment - Recollections.
