Papercraft Star Challenge

Here's my entry for challenge #2 at Papercraft Star. This week's challenge is Red, White and Blue. The layout is of my mother and her sister in 1945.

I hope you will play along by entering a project of your own and by voting (starting noon Saturday) for your favorite project.

Zach's gifts

This layout of Zach opening his birthday gifts is based on the Sketchy Thursday sketch for this week. Papers are from the Boys Birthday collection at Target ($1 bin).

INDY

This layout was made from an insipration photo on Papercraft Star. Colors are white, red and a touch of black dragonflies. I used photos of my husband taken in 1994 on a trip to Nashville. Being a race fan and car lover he was happy to make a pit stop at Indy.

My Favorite Toy

I made this layout for a challenge at These are a Few of My Favorite Things. The current challenge is toys. This once fuzzy bunny was an Easter gift from my dad to my mom the year before I was born, so it's been with me my entire life and currently resides in the top dresser drawer.

Zach's cake

I've had the Pikachu cardboard hat for a couple months. When I saw at my grandson Zach's birthday party that his cake had pokemon figures an idea was formed. I cut off the "arms" that hold the hat on and glued on the photos. Added six buttons for his age.

1st Wheels

Today's layout is based on a sketch from Creative Scrappers and qualifies for the "wheels" challenge on Scrappin-n-chattin. This is me and my first tricycle.

Me and Dad

Here is a layout I made to remember my dad. I tried to make it masculine by using mostly brown, but my grandson thinks the flowers make it "girly". The cardstock is from Target, the patterned paper is unknown and the flowers are prima.

Challenge

I made this layout for Abby's challenge on My Scrap Stuff to use a sun on a layout. Be sure to check her blog for more fun.

I followed a sketch found on Ideas for Scrapbookers.
