Sketches in Thyme May Challenge

I created this layout for the Sketches in Thyme May challenge. The first picture is before surgery and the second is a couple of weeks after (Can you see the happy face on the knee?). The paper is by Fancy Pants. It is from the Trendsetter collection.

Wild Child

We spent spring break camping in Big Sur. This photo is not the best, but the beach was beautiful. The sand, when wet, turned a beautiful shade of purple. I am entering this layout into the Stuck Sketches April challenge and also the Scrap Our Stash April Challenge. The word of the month for April is stamp. 

S...Sticker

T...Tag / Topper

WHOGAS March Sketch Challenge

I found this old pic of my son who is now 25 years old. I used a pagemap sketch and created this layout for the March Who Gives a Scrap sketch challenge. The paper is from the Fancy Pants Be Different line.

On the VictoriaMarie facebook group there was an ingredient challenge. I had to use three patterned papers, one solid paper, at least five diecuts, mixed media of your choice and a textured element. As you can see there is no mixed media element on the paper but I did meet all the other requirements.

Scrap Our Stash March Challenge

I'm playing along with Scrap Our Stash again. The word this month is stencil. I used

S - stripes

T - tape (washi)

E - epoxy alphas

N - the numbers in the date

C - cork alphas, circle

I - inked edges

L - letters and the word love

Scrap Our Stash - Washi

I created this layout with my first kit purchased from Scraptastic. The kits have everything you need to create a layout. The challenge for this month on Scrap Our Stash is to create a layout using items that begin with letters from the word washi. I used :

w...white paper for background and white doily

a...alphas

s...sticker border

h...hearts

i...inked the edges of my papers

My Creative Sketches February Challenge

I found these old pictures of my oldest son that I had never scrapped. I believe he was about 11 years old. I love these pictures because they really show his personality. He had gotten hurt on the first pic and as you can see he is still smiling. He has always been the happiest child. Whenever you see him, he will greet you with a warm smile and as you can see in the second pic he is a silly goose.

Go Broncos!

I created this layout for the Scrap Our Stash sketch challenge. I found all of these items in my stash. I had these SEI borders and couldn't figure out what to do with them. I also found this Recollection notebook paper and the MAMBI stickers that I have been hoarding forever.   The picture is an oldie but goodie from when my son played flag football. When I saw the sketch I hoped that I could pull together a layout. This is what I came up with.
