Merry Merry Merry!!

 I can't believe it has taken me 3 days to finish up this page!!!  Things are so busy around here, I barely made it to my desk most days.

I love the added pinks in these Simple Stories papers.

They worked perfectly with my Mom's pinks jumpsuit....lol.

I played Tic Tac Toe with Stacy to put this page together.

I went across the middle:

3 word title

two photos 

ephemera

The ephemera pieces are all from the same Simple Stories collection.

I also added some random stickers that were in the stash, buttons and twine.

A VERY Merry Christmas!

 These are some of my favorite pictures from last year - we were able to find a PS5 for my son!  He was so truly excited and happy!  They were so hard to find, he had given up all hope.

I went through my whole Christmas stash looking for just the right colors and pieces.

I was inspired by challenge #627 from Lasting Memories:

LM #627 - Love Your Stash (March 2022) - Create a layout and use 3 or more patterned papers, stickers (this can be any sticker - puffy, chipboard, or cardstock stickers), trim (washi tape, ribbon, twine, etc.), punches/die-cuts/ephemera, and finishing touches (enamel dots, brads, sequins, bling, splatters, etc.)

I used 3 different patterned papers, 3 stickers, 3 die cuts and sets of 3 enamel dots.

Use that stash!!

It's a Small World After All

Meet me at the Pumpkin Patch

 Happy Sunday!  It's so cold outside, I do not plan on setting one foot out there!  lol

I will be working at my desk in between loads of laundry.

Here is a page I was happy to work on because I was able to use up a lot of pictures from this one trip to the pumpkin patch.

I used up lots of goodies from an Echo Park kit I just got from the Scraproom Blog.

I added some twine and jute, along with some buttons.

Here is this week's sketch from Lasting Memories that got me motivated to use up all these pictures:

October 31st

 Sneaking in a post while I'm at work!  SSShhhh.....

I pulled out some older Basic Grey paper for my background.

The strips are all from the Halloween scrap bin. 

I also found these fun Halloween brads and banners too!

Here is the sketch that inspired me from Lasting Memories # 623:

I dont normally do 2 page layouts, so given the option, I chose to work on just the left side of the sketch.

Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins Please

Hello!  I have the house to myself tonight so I am spending it playing at my desk. 

Here is the first of at least 2 pages I hope to finish up tonight:

I went through the scraps to find just the right pieces.

I used a bunch of different colored inks to create my leaf patterned paper.

These fun pumpkins stickers I found at Dollar Tree.

I love that they are not traditional colors.

I also pulled a piece of burlap paper to create another "frame".

And finally, I added some charms with twine just to get them out of the stash...lol.

I was inspired by this month's sketch from Scrappy Friends and Rochelle:

It's a Sweet Life

 I think I'm stuck on the word "sweet" this weekend....lol.

I've been having fun playing with some Cocoa Vanilla collections that I "had to have" and then I'm afraid to use them.

This was made with mostly scraps that I have been hoarding from previous pages.

I used this week's sketch from Lasting Memories:

I am a huge fan of Allison Davis sketches too!
