Fall - at the Pumpkin Patch

 On a roll today!!  This will be the last because I REALLY need to get some housework done!

Lots of goodies from the stash!

I love these stash bashing days.

I feel so accomplished!

This is for the 3rd challenge from Lasting Memories - Season of sketches - Fall / Autumn:

I love this sketch and I just happened to have a circle already cut out of a piece of patterned paper.

Finally had the perfect chance to use it.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Paradise

 Page 2 for the day!  Woohoo!!  

This page is part of our Punta Cana album.  I love seeing palm trees and sand.  

This came together pretty easily - lots of scraps from the bin.

It feels really good to use this stuff up!

This was for the 2nd challenge from Lasting Memories - part of this month's Seasons of Sketches

Here is the sketch and the theme was Summer:

Bloom and Grow

 Good morning!  It's a cool and dreary morning so far, so I'm sitting at my desk working on some stuff before I have to do some chores.

Today I am catching up on some older pictures and a few challenges this month from Lasting Memories.

This month, they are having a Sketchy Seasons challenge.  Each week has a new sketch with a new theme.  

Here is my first page for the first challenge:

Here is the sketch and the challenge was to use a Spring theme:

I opted to use a lot of floral papers and some 49 and Market flowers.

I sure wish Spring would get here and stay!!

Chi-Omega tour

 Good morning and Happy Easter!

So happy to have nothing to do today - due to scheduling issues, we are celebrating with family next week.  

So I get the whole day to play at my desk.

I played along with Scrap with Stacy and this month's Tic Tac Toe board:

I went down the right side:

rubons (from 49 and Market)

edge punch

brads

I finally used up the last of the Simple Stories Vintage Ancestry collection too!

Bash that stash!

Eggs to Dye For

 So happy to have this day off!  We are heading out to the zoo for a fun family day.

I squeezed in a "quick" page before we head out.

Most of what I used is from the Cocoa Vanilla Daydream collection.

I hand cut the bunnies and the eggs.

I tried to follow this month's sketch from Rochelle Spears:

Gotta love when you make sure you cut the perfect circles .....

and then cover most of it up with embellishments!!!

GRRR!!

I didn't even realize what I was doing until most of it was glued down!!

I'm hiding most of that beautiful patterned paper!!

Oh well....

We will be coloring eggs for this year, when we get back from the zoo.

At least I know I'll have more pictures to try this again sometime!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Celebrate

Kinda sad that the 50th celebration at Disney is over, but so grateful that we were able to be there for it!

The final challenge from Lasting Memories is A Walk in the Park.

I immediately thought of my favorite park - the Magic Kingdom.

I used up some stash that I have been hoarding.

Stickles, confetti, padded appliques, gems, embroidery floss, wooden numbers and some ribbon.

I even dusted off a border punch.

And I realized I have a whole lot of picutres of this beautiful castle to work on !

I Love my Cat!!

 Happiness is having not one but TWO kitties to cuddle every day!

Even if they don't want to....lol

Here is a perfect example of my kitty not wanting to cuddle but at least she posed for the camera...or I just got lucky with my camera...lol

Finally having kitties after almost 20 years without, was the greatest things ever!

So happy to have them in my life!

I chose to do this page for the new challenge at Lasting Memories -  create a layout about someone or something that makes you happy!

I used some 6x8 patterned papers and my Creative Memories heart punch.  For an added touch, I used my cat paw stamp and some buttons.
