Crafty Pastime

This layout is my son working on his Boy Scout fishing badge.  It was a family event, decided to go out to Montauk Point for the first time.  I have used some wood, metal and washi tape for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.  I'm entering this layoout to the following challenge: Rochelle Spears : February sketch Scrap with Stacy : February Tic Tac Toe   

Finally able to get some scrapbook time in this weekend.  Here is my layout for the February Sketch Challenge with  Scrap Our Stash .  

Hello All, Today I am posting a layout created using the Lasting Memories Challenge LM#584 and Disney Creative Company February Colors of Magic Challenge.  I just love when I have a vision as soon as I see a challenge, it just makes things so much easier!  When I saw the color challenge, I knew right away which photos I had wanted to scrap.  Looking at the Lasting Memories sketch just completed my layout idea. The final touch was when I saw the border on the LM sketch and I thought of the Queen of Hearts like a deck of cards!  This is my final creation!  Thanks for stopping by!  Question for my visitors: Do you scrap based on the colors of a photo to match with the papers you use?  I am entering this layout to the following challenges:  LM #584 Colors of Magic  

Hi All, sharing a layout created for ChallengeYOUrself today.  We are playing with colors this month, and this is my take on the challenge. I just love challenges, checking out the different layouts and ideas from other scrapbookers keeps the motivation going for me I hope it does for you too!    I have created a layout of a girls gathering, something that is very hard to come by these days.  It was nice to reminisce the get together while working on this layout and looking forward to a future gathering.  Thanks for stopping by.  Please share your comments below. 

 Hi All! Happy New Year!  It's been quite awhile since I have posted, there has been so much going on.  Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my blog.   Some VERY exciting news to share with everyone, I have been selected to be part of the ChallengeYOUrself Design Team for 2022!  So very honored to be part of this wonderful and creative team!  Hope to be an inspiration for some of you out there!   Here is my layout for January and the Challenge is to create a layout with a theme "working together".  My layout shows my family playing Overcooked: All You Can Eat.   If you have never played Overcooked, you should head out and grab that game!  It is a teamwork game where you work in a kitchen of a restaurant and the task is to prepare/serve up orders.  Each person is a chef in the kitchen and should have 1 or more tasks. I remember the first time playing that game, there were tons of screaming and yelling an...

For my second layout this weekend, I found these two photos of my kids and their cousins.  This is a then and now scrapbook layout.  I can't believe how quickly the kids have grown.  I played along with Rochelle Spears and Scrap with Stacy's Tic Tac Toe Challenge.   I am entering this layout to the following Challenges: Rochelle Spears  May Sketch Challenge Stacy's Tic Tac Toe : I used twine, stickers and enamel for the challenge.  Lasting Memories : Challenge #546

 Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I have had a chance to scrapbook. It is busy season at work so I have not had time to scrapbook as much as I would have loved to.  I was able to work on two layouts this weekend!   The first layout here is using a Scrap Your Stash sketch.  I played along with the sketch and used the Challenge YOUrself theme to create the layout.  At Challenge YOURself, the theme was "put your best face forward", meaning to show off your best side. To me the best side of me is when I am with my better half.   My kids always say I am the homework mom and dad is the fun dad.  My husband is the one that shows me how to live my life in a most youthful way. I am so thankful that we complement each other.  I do need that balance between being serious and having fun.  So my best face forward is with my husband! Thanks for stopping by!  I am entering the layout to the following challenges: Scrap Our Stash:   May...
