Everyday

 Hey there!

I retired at the end of 2021 and so far I am loving it! More scrappy time, YAY!

I played along with a layout sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap and used an old Hip Kit Club kit for this layout of Sierra at work:

I ceated my background using watercolors. Then added layers of patterned papers and stitching. I added some tangled thread and chipboard stars:

I added this cute bowfrom PinkFresh Studios, I believe. I used some old alphas for my title. I used a date stamp to add my date:

I added a chipboard word phrase and some more chipboard hearts here. I added a diecut word to finish off my title:

Here's the sketch:

One of my goals this year is to use my stash! I have so much of it even after purging a bunch.

I love that I was able to use stash for this page and I love how it came out!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Taco Johns

 Hey there!

I played along with a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap and used Pebbles for this layout of Sierra:

I layered up some of the patterned papers and then added my photos on top along with a few stickers:

I have been saving this taco and the taco truck for quite some time since I couldn't find these pics. I am happy I finally found them because they are perfect for those stickers:

I added some doilies and a few more stickers:

Here's the sketch:

Thinking Of You

Hey friends!
I am on spring break this week and with all that is going on in the world with COVID 19, scrapping takes my mind off of it. It's my little get away from it.
I played along with a card sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap and came up with this card:

I used Pebbles Family Ties for this card.

Here's the sketch:

Hope you are staying safe and have a great day!

Inside Apt. 2B

Hey there friends!
I have enjoyed some free scrapping this last week and played along with a sketch challenge at Sketch-N-Scrap. I took photos of the apartment we rented in Austria and decided to use these for this page. I added a few extra photos:

I used the February 2018 Hip Kit Club kit, which included lots of Pinkfresh Let Your Heart Decide.

I used a border punch and added a few layers of patterned papers. I added a few diecuts and an enamel dot:

I used some foam Thickers for my title and added a few more diecuts. I love the books!

Here's the sketch:

I kept this page fairly simple, just adding diecuts and chipboard to make the photos shine.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Birthday Wishes

Hey everyone!
We are back from Germany and I am sharing a few things I created before we left.
I used a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap for this birthday card along with Fancy Pants Life Is Beautiful 6x6 paper pad:

I fussy cut the flowers from a few patterned papers and created a wreath. I used a die to cut the word "Birthday". I used October Afternoon alpha stickers from my stash for the word "Wishes.

Here is the sketch:

Another Christmas Card

Tis The Season

Hey there friends!
I am sharing a Christmas card I created using a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap. I used the PinkFresh December Days 6x6 paper pad for this fun card:

The sentiment was a square on one of the papers. I used a scalloped circle punch to make it round like in the sketch. I layered my banners and added some machine stitching.

Here is the sketch:

Lisbon

Happy Sunday friends! Hope you had a nice weekend!
I enjoyed some free scrappy time this weekend and played along with a sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap.
Sierra took these photos on her mini trip to Lisbon in January. She is studying abroad this semester in Germany and has been doing lots of traveling in her free time. So you will be seeing lots of travel pages from me, LOL!
I used old BoBunny papers for this layout:

I struggle with doing these no people layouts, so it's not my best work :)

Here's the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
