No Firearms Allowed

This layout follows sketch #167 at Creative Scrappers. My daughter, grandsons and I had a good time at Chuck E Cheese, but got the biggest laugh from the sign on the door regarding No Firearms Allowed.

Castle Rock

This layout follows the August week 2 sketch at Sassy Lil' Sketches. The pictures are of my daughter and grandson, and of the view from the top.

Something new.

The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to try something new and go a little out of your comfort zone. My friend Dawn likes to use Liquid Pearls and since I had an untouched bottle sitting on my desk for months I decided to try it. After watching several youtube tutorials I made three butterflies using two different methods. First I use it as watercolors. Probably can't be seen on the photo, but it adds such a nice shine to the paper. Then I also used it as bling, putting some dots in the center of each butterfly and on the flower. Have to say I loved using Liquid Pearls and can see buying more colors in the future.

The layout is of my great-uncle's wedding in 1942. The couple on the right are my great-grandparents.

Wings

The challenge this week at the Paper Variety is to use the colors green, orange and yellow. The hotel we like to stay at has a room with several birds. This was my grandson's first visit there, so he took some pictures of the cockatiels.

Dreams Come True

This layout is based on Frosted Designs Sketch #21. Beulah married my dad's uncle Wendolin in 1942.

Wedded Bliss

The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is a sketch with a twist - add buttons.

This is a layout of the wedding of my grandmother's sister Margaret in 1922. I used buttons on the flowers and along the patterned paper.
