Some New Layouts and New Challenges

I have done the past couple of days. Maggie at one year in both of these, I scraplifted a layout by a friend named Diana for this layout! Thanks Diana for the inspiration!

Meeting Maggie!

This is the ultrasound of Maggie and the journaling tells of how I felt the day I found out I would be a grandmother for the first time. The journaling reads:

Maggie the first time I saw this photo was the day I learned I would be a grandmother for the first time. I was so excited as I thought I would probably never have grandchildren. I loved you the first moment I saw you. You filled my heart with love. I could not wait to meet you, and get to know your personality. I tried so hard to imagine what you would be like, a boy or a girl. My greatest wish was that you would be a healthy happy baby.

Fanciful Flowers!

Is the name of the class I am in the midst of taking at the Miss Art's Papercrafting School. I won a month's membership by winning Survivor for amonth over at The Moments. I am so enjoying it and here are two flowers I learned to make on that site today!

A Card and a a layout

were the projects finished today! The card needed to have stamped images which I have, I also dry embossed the edges and then inked them.

This second one was for a Christmas in July so I scrapped the photocard I received from my nephew and his family. I also added handstitching for the ribbons of the ornaments.

Thanks for looking!

It has been a very Interesting Day

Here! Bobby and Maggie have been scrapping! Maggie has scrapped before but this is Bobby's first attempt. I have to publish their layouts for the world to enjoy!
This first one is Maggie's- It reads "Bobby was cold from the water so I rapt him up with the toul. I was so happy"




This is Bobby's first attempt! I think he did a fabulous job!

Thanks for sharing these with me!

Wonder......

I did the page for the Heritage Challenge over at Scrapping the Moments. It's picture of my great-grandfather's store that was on Howard Street in downtown Akron in the mid-1920's I believe. The journaling reads:

My Grandmother died in 1982 I inherited her cedar chest and all the photos inside of it! I did not know who most of them were. One day I was fortunate enough to get my Mother and Great Aunt-My Grandmother’s older sister, together and they identified as many of the photos as they could. Two generations and very helpful. This photo was included in the collection. It is a picture of my Great-Grandfather’s store on one of the main streets in downtown Akron. This photo was probably taken around the mid-1920‘s. I have no idea who the ladies in the store are.
We were friends with another lady who lived in Akron, and was born in 1899. She worked for the General Tire Company. She told me how everyone would walk to downtown Akron to Howard Street to do their special shopping on Saturday’s. She told us that was where you would find the special treasures-like oranges and other fresh fruits. Also candies and products they normally could not get elsewhere.
It makes me wonder did she go to this store? My Great-Grandfather’s store? Did he wait on her? Did she talk to him? How many people found their special treasures here. Special treasures on hard wood floors-baskets of fruit, cans of goodies-maybe smoked fish-Ahhhhhh fish from the ocean in Akron Ohio! What treasures were tucked safely behind the glass in the cases? Watches? Hair ribbons? A jeweled comb for your hair? Special lace for a young girl’s wedding gown? I could go on and on. I wonder……

My new garden solar lights!

The Simple Life

is the title I gave this layout I did for the Color Challenge this month at Scrapping the Moments.

You Make Me Smile Like the Sun

Ahhh The Heritage Challenge!

There are numerous challenges as you know over at Scrapping the Moments, and the new ones were posted yesterday. Believe it or not the relic here has decided to post a layout I did for the Heritage challenge. A photo of me in my junior year of high school! Yes I have humbled myself enough to do this! LOL! Have fun looking!

The journaling reads: Believe it or not when I went to school I was that quiet kid who only answered when I was sure of the right answer. I was not involved in extra-curricular activities as I usually babysitting after school. I did attend the football games in high school, but that was about it.

Look at This

This is the proud Grandma bragging about her grandaughter again! Maggie earned this medal for reading 400 lines in school so far this year! She does love reading and does a great job at sounding out the words she doesn't know! I am so proud of her!

Easter Egg Coloring!

Here's the layout for Bobby's album of his artistry at coloring Easter eggs. This is inspired by a sketch by Allison Davis @ Sketch Support. Sorry it photographed like it is crooked-it is not just the angle the camera saw it as. Thanks for looking!

Friday Fast Trak layout!

Yes it is Friday so that means FFT! Here is my layout for that fun challenge over at Scrapping the Moments!
This was inspired by a sketch by Pagemaps! Thanks for looking!

Easter Egg Art

I have done several Easter Egg coloring pages recently but this is a special one for Maggie's book. She loves arts and crafts, and draws more then she plays with dolls. She did a fabulous job with her eggs, and so did Bobby-his layout is in progress! I love these photos, and try to save these memeories for them.

Thanks for sharing my Grands with me!

National Scrapbooking Day!

WooHoo! Have to scrap today! And I did! I scrapped 3 layouts today, but I am only posting two since I just finished the third, and do not like photographing them at night. This first one is a photo of Bob & I in December 2009.



This second one Is a lot of fun! The photos are from last summer and the joiurnaling tells the story!

The Journaling reads: Last year on the Fourth of July you were playing in Gramma's backyard. Maggie wanted Bobby to pull her up the slide with her jump rope, and he agreed. When she got to the top he let go and she slid down-she was not very happy but Bobby was according to the grin on his face!

So Sweet and Together, Family ,Good times!

Here are two more layouts I have done -So Sweet is Maggie at about 2 years of age and we had been baking cookies together-I think she liked them!

This is the two grands working hard coloring those Easter Eggs. They had such a good time together doing this!

Thanks for sharing my projects with me!

Gosh Your Awesome

is what I titled this layout about Maggie! She made Student of the Month again this year! We are so proud of her! She loves school, and especially reading. It is nice to know that she practices good citizenship also! She received high praise from her teachers, besides her glowing report cards! These photos were from the ceremony at the school when she was awarded the Student of the Month Certificate.

Thanks for looking and listening to a proud Grandma!

Aunt Ina's Mandarin Orange Salad

is the recipe to go along with this photo for the Heritage challenge over at the Moments. I really did challenge myself with this one. I scanned a B&W photo into my computer. Then played with it in Photoshop Elements which is new to me. I got it in this sepia tone look and then scrapped this page. I really like the end result.

Thanks for looking!

This is a layout I have

wanted to do for several months and finally made the opportunity to do it. I did this for the sketch class I am taking at My Creative Classsroom, and was inspired by a sketch of Allison Davis.

I love the photo of Bobby opening that big door to go to preschool for the very first time. I hope he will enjoy this memory when he is older and can appreciate the signifigance of this day. Thanks for sharing my creative work with me, you are all so appreciated.

Scrap That Tune

is the one of the newer challenges that have been added over at the Moments this month! It is fun to do a page to the lyrics of the song picked for the month. This month is also the title of this fun page I did today!
