New layouts !

Happy Saturday to everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend! Here are 2 more layouts I have posted for different challenges.
This first one was very difficult for me as I usually use a lot of color. This was a challenge for The Summer Lovin' Contest at Challenge Masters. It had to be all white or black with the only color being embellishments etc not cut from paper or cardstock. Whew!

This layout I just posted for a challenge at Sketches in Thyme-here's a link to their blog-http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com/. You are to do your intrepretation of the sketch they have posted there for the week. Here's mine-Bobby playing video games at the age of three!

Thanks for looking!

Surprise!!!

Here's a layout I did over the weekend and I wasn't sure it was the way I wanted it to be. It's called Princess in Training????


I just had to scrap this one for my grandson to have when he is older. This was taken at his sister's princess birthday party and he wanted to be dressed as a princess also! That's how you are at three!
Have a great day!

Water Lilies!

A fun layout for a fun challenge!!!!

For this weeks challenge for the Summer Lovin Contest over at Ch{all}enge Masters you were to make your own sketch, and then do a layout to go with it! That Pat sure likes to challenge our brains!!! Well here are the sketch and the layout I did for that fun contest-


Then for bonus extra points you needed to make a card from your scraps-I really didn't have many but here's what I came up with!

New Layouts

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It has been so hot here I have been staying indoors and scrapping. Here are 2 layouts I finished over the weekend-the first one was for a scraplift challenge over at Ch{all}enge Masters.


The second one I did just for the fun of it-it's photos of Bobby learning to pump his legs to make the swing go by himself! Too fun!

A Very Special Message

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday! It's so hot outdoors I am staying in and scrapping today. It will be at least 89 here today. What better to do on a hot hot day then play with our toys! LOL!

Here's a layout I have been working the past couple of days-I just couldn't get it to look the way I wanted it to look. It is a scraplift of a friend's, Valerie, layout called Strike a Pose which can been seen at 2 peas in a Bucket.

Thanks so much for looking and hopefully enjoying my creations.
