Scrap Queen

 When we were visiting Fort Steele in Canada there was a couple of Clydesdale horses pulling a wagon around the town. Everytime they came by Ahsoka would stop and start at them. She would not budge until they passed. She seemed so enamored by them. It was as if she was thinking that "those are really big dogs" - it was so cute so I had to snap a pic and scrap it. To scrap this photo I used a sketch and challenge from Rochelle Spears and Scrap with Stacy  I also added some journaling and plan to enter it at the Lasting Memories blog as well.  My Layout: The Challenges: LM #535 - And the story is..." This week it is all about journaling.

We love to go camping with my parents and one of the places we like to go is Farragut State Park . They have 4 different disc golf courses which are a blast to play on. What could be better than trying not to lose your disc in the woods? And no we haven't lost one  yet.  For this layout I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme . This layout is being used on the challenge forum at A Cherry On Top , and I'll enter my layout there.

Here's another layout I did tonight of my 40th birthday back in May 2018. I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme  to scrap the photo of me blowing out a candle.

I am also using this layout to enter the challenge on the Bitten by the Bug 2  blog.  My Layout: And the Sketch: To Create this layout I used: Park Lane: No Prob-Llama paper stack Kaisercraft: Party Time photo overlay Dear Lizzy: Die cut shapes Baby Steps Cricut Font: title Small Talk Frames and Tags Cartridge: chevron arrow  Stickles and color box rouge ink Thank you so much for stopping by!

The November sketch up on Rochelle Spears blog is a good one this month and I really wanted to make sure that I used it.

In 2017 our annual scrapbooking retreat was very memorable. It snowed. . . a lot! We ended up loosing power for about 5 hours in the morning. It was actually a fun experience. I work so much with my Cricut that it was an awesome challenge to create layouts and to not use the Cricut for them. Despite the awesome challenge of creating without diecuts, I was very excited when the power came back on!  I used the left side of the below sketch from Let's Scrap  to create my layout. My Layout: To Create My Layout I used: Pink Paislee: Switchboard paper stack Mambi Chips: chipboard stickers Small Talk Frames & Tags Cricut Cartridge: frames The Girls Paperie by Margie: Paper Girl - letter stickers "Retreat" Washi and brackets: from stash Thank you so much for stopping by!!! Blessings,

It's time for another awesome sketch over at the Let's Scrap  blog! This one was a great challenge. At first glance I was like, maybe I'll just do the one side????? I wasn't sure how to get the design on the left side. But, using Cricut Design Space and the splice feature I was able to make the design. I decided to use some beach photos for a fun summer layout. The Sketch: To Create this Layout I used: DCWV: Collage Art paper stack Fancy Pants: True Friend - photo frame Fancy Pants: Wave Searcher - chipboard stickers Pack Your Bags Cricut Cartridge - Beach Fun title Small Talk Frames and Tags cartridge: triangular shapes (used splicing feature to adjust) Cuttlebug - die cutting - wave Thank you so much for stopping by!

The sketch that we have up on Let's Scrap  is so great! I had a lot of fun putting this one together with the help of Cricut Design Space. I choose to use some photos from our trip to Silverwood with my parents. It was such a fun day and I think it came through as I used bright colors and fun embellishments.

I was so excited about the newest sketch up on the Sketches In Thyme  blog. It was perfect for a selfie that I took with my daughter while out shopping at the mall.
