On This Day

The sketch is for Sketchy Thursday's April Guest Designer challenge. The layout is of my daughter on the day she was baptized. She is sitting on the passenger seat of our car, which was in our apartment for some forgotten reason.

Marvel

This photo is of my grandsons, marveling at the glass roof of the Milwaukee Art Museum. The layout is made from the sketch at Artful Delight and fits the color challenge at  Scrappin-N-Chattin.

Hopping to feel better

The challenge this week at The Paper Variety is "Get Well". I made a layout of my grandson having his tonsils taken out.

Just 1 Chip

The challenge at The Paper Variety this week is to create a paper project using mostly green. I made this layout of my grandson sneaking a potato chip.

Her Big Day

I love the sketch at Lasting Memories this week and made this layout of my aunt's wedding.

February results - Scrap Our Stash

Denise at LaLa's World  challenged us to scrap our stash. Again this month I failed absymally. I only lasted until February 5th, when I went to Goodwill and found a candle ring made of flowers and beads. It was 55 cents and will make many embellishments. (I did use some of it already). A few days later I stopped at Michael's and got a couple sheets of paper on clearance for 19 cents each. (Not that I needed more paper, but again I used one sheet that day.) The real failure came on the 17th when we went out of town and HAD to stop at Big Lots. You see these 12 by 12 paper pads were $4.99 and there was an entire pad of the paper I'd bought a few sheets of earlier. So a couple pads came home with me. I did make 8 layouts this month, only that didn't make a dent in my stash at all. Should I try the challenge again in March, or should I just admit I'm a hopeless shopper?
