Happy Trails

I just bought this fun new collection from Simple Stories called Happy Trails.

It came at a great time as I just ordered pics from my daughter's time at summer camp.

Her and her best friends became Scouts this year.

The Boy Scouts of America had opened their doors to girls this past year. 

Having watched their brothers from the sidelines doing all these fun things at summer camp, really got them excited about joining.

This is their first year and they cannot wait to go back this year!

This is for the challenge at Scrap the Girls "Lets' Be Adventurers".

I cannot wait to work on more of these fun pics of these two!

They are in for lots more fun adventures!

Stay Safe!!

RAIN and Family

Weird title for a blog post but....

A new challenge posted at Lasting Memories inspired me to finish up this wedding page:

The challenge was to use product that began with each letter of the word RAIN.

Here is my list:

R - ribbon

A - alphas

I - ink

N - Nice family pictures ( I know, another stretch)

I am soooo close to finishing up this album!

Stay safe!

HUZZAH!!

This time has definitely given me a chance to work on some pictures that have been sitting in the box for a very long time.

I totally forgot I had this collection from Echo Park called Once Upon a Time.

This sketch from Sketch N Scrap reminded me of the banners and shields from Medieval Times.

I was able to use a LOT of the collection AND finally get some of these pictures scrapped!

Here is the original sketch:

I used some of the information from the event brochure.

I loved adding the metal utensils - which is kinda funny, because at this event, they do not provide utensils!  LOL!

Stay safe!

Bride's Family

I am working so hard on getting this wedding album finished!

But honestly, I have to keep taking breaks.  I can only take so much purple at once...lol

I  started out with this month's sketch from the Studio Challenges:

I was also able to use up more scraps and some random bits and pieces.

The purple acrylic squares were just sitting around collecting dust.

I also added ribbons here and there.

Stay safe!!

It's a Super Day

I had this page sitting on my desk for a while.  I just couldn't figure out what else could be done to it.

I started out with this sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

The torn corrugated paper had me pulling out more scraps.

Then I kinda went off the rails after that...lol.

I kept adding more torn corrugated.

It swat for a few days because I wanted to add "webs" but just couldn't figure it out.

I split up some jute and tacked it down with glue dots.

It still looked incomplete, so I added a few buttons.

Still not sure if I like it, but I'm calling it done!

Stay safe!

Look at me!

Spring is my favorite time to go to the zoo.  The peacocks are very happy to show themselves off during mating season.

We usually go as a huge group.  My "scavenger hunt" is the first person to find the peacock that is showing off his feathers, gets a dollar.

I used a DCWV mat stack for my bits and pieces.

I also added a few feathers and flowers.

Here is the original sketch from Sketches in Thyme that got me started:

Junior Prom

This page was a labor of love.  I couldn't get it together and figure out what I wanted to do.

I had to sort thru scraps of paper for a long time to find just the right ones.

Most of them are from DCWV.

The flower are all from 49 and Market.

The title piece is from Creative Embellishments.

I used liquid pearls after I inked it white.

Here is the inspiration board from Creative Embellishments that we had to work from this month:

The added twist was to use metal.

I used a metal rimmed tag and a metal heart clip.

My supply list also came from Lasting Memories.

The word we were given to work with was CROCUS.

We had to use supplies that began with each letter of the word.

My supply list is:

C - Creative Embellishments title

R - ribbon

O - one photo

C - circle

U - "u" in Junior  (I know, it's a stretch..lol)

S - stickles

Stay safe!!
