Sunday's layout

I went to Oklahoma City this weekend to spend a little time with my mom and to see the Broadway tour of Cats. I have seen it twice, but it was about 20 years ago since the last time. This production was absolutely remarkable. Amazing choreography! So glad I got to see it again.

This time I did a two-page layout which I don't really enjoy doing anymore. If I have to do a page on my own with no kit, it's usually a one-pager, but I liked this sketch for these photos. More pictures from 2011.

Supplies
Paper: DCWV - Spring Glitter Stack (2009)
Stickers: MME (2010), Basic Grey
Metal frame and flower: Making Memories
Pearls: Kaiser
Stash: all other embellishments
Sketch: Scrappers Daily Dose 2007

What I'm reading
I finished Lair of Dreams on my way home last night. I'm still reading Sarah's Key but would really like to get it finished by the 31st so I can count it on a Goodreads Challenge. I was notified by the library that the audio version of Pachinko was ready for me. It's another long one, so I don't know if I'll be able to finish listening to it before my two weeks are up, but I'll get it started to see if I want to use an Audible credit to finish it.

Saturday's layout

I left Saturday morning for Oklahoma City and spent the day with my mom shopping and eating and avoiding tornados.  I went to Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Tuesday Morning for some scrapbook supplies and organizing things. Michael's had some great sales for Memorial Day.

Here is my layout for Saturday.

Supplies:
Paper: Paper Studios All-Seasons (2008)
Stickers: Sandylion - splashes (2001), Echo Park, Sweet Summertime (2010)
Brads: MME - On the Sunny Side (2012)
Stamp: Queen Kat Designs
Sketch: The Scraproom May 2019

Finally, today's layout 5/24

This morning I was able to get my layout finished for today. I was supposed to leave town for the weekend this afternoon, but with all the rain we have been getting, our road is underwater, so I'm not sure I'm going to get to leave. This picture is of my daughter showing off her style. I love looking back at these photos from 2011 since now she's a teenager and acts like one!  LOL

Supplies used
Papers: DCWV Cherry Limeade paper pad (2011), American Crafts Dear Lizzy (2010)
Stickers: Creative Imaginations - word title, Paper Studios - 3-D (2007), K & Co. - chipboard
Fiber: Making Memories - twistel
Pearls - E.
Sketch by Susan Costanza (2009)

I'm not sure what I'll be reading and cooking today since I'm still unsure of my plans. If I do get to leave town, I'll be listening to Lair of Dreams while I drive, and I won't be cooking. If I stay home, I don't really have a plan.

Thursday's Layout

Yesterday I spent most of my time in the scrapbook room inventorying my CTMH supplies. I've bought from CTMH for over 10 years, and boy, it sure shows. I have a LOT of stash to use. Even though I spent hours doing that, I still managed to get a layout done. Here it is:

Supplies used
Paper: We R Memory Keepers - Love Struck paper pad (2012)
Stickers: K & Co. - felt, DCWV - chipboard, 7 Gypsies - flat (2006), MAMBI - flat, EK Success - epoxy
Bling: Prima swirls (2008), P. pearls & crystals
Sketch: stash
Stash: photo corner stickers

Catch-Up Day

I'm going to post a few different times today showing my layouts from the last few days. I've spent most of my time organizing and taking inventory in my scrapbook room, so I didn't get these layouts posted. Here's my layout from Wednesday:

Supplies used
Paper: DCWV - Indian Summer paper pad (2009)
Stickers: HOTP Dazzle - brown flower
Title card: Evelyn's Collection
Cardstock border - Little Yellow Bicycle
Stash: chipboard, pin, button, ribbon, and paper clip

These are more pictures of my daughter on her kindergarten field trip to the zoo in 2011.

I didn't wash away

After a very rainy day with lots of storms and about two inches of rain, I'm happy to say that we were lucky enough to miss the really damaging storms. I thought I better post early today because I'll be out of the house all afternoon with dentist appointments, grocery shopping, and music lessons. Here is today's layout and updates.

This is my senior's 4th grade basketball pictures. He was such a chunk! I wanted to veer away from the traditional basketball layout in our school colors, so I chose primary colors instead. Here are the details and supplies.

Paper: Paper Studios - Color Kaleidoscope paper pad (2008)
Stickers: Paper Bliss - 3D star (2002), Renae Lindgren - stars & marbles, MAMBI - photo corners & puffy stars
Chipboard: Crate Paper
Ribbon: SEI
Brads: Bazzill - button brads
Stash: journal box, alpha stickers
Sketch: Lucy Chesna

What I'm reading:
I'm hoping to be able to read a little more of Sarah's Key today while waiting for my daughter in the dentist.

What I'm cooking:
I haven't decided if I'm going to cook when I get home or bring something home from shopping. My children are invited to a going-away party for a foreign exchange student, and I don't know if I'll want to cook for just my husband and me. I'll let you know tomorrow what I decided. LOL

Be You layout using a sketch challenge

Hello again! It's a stormy, rainy day here in NW Oklahoma, and I've spent my morning finishing up some school stuff. I'm headed to my scrap room to get my next layout finished, but first I wanted to share the layout I did using a sketch from Sketch N Scrap that was the challenge sketch for iNSD. I think I stayed pretty true to the sketch.

These pictures are of my son who just graduated on Friday.  Where does the time go?

Supplies
Paper: Dots, Striped & Plaids stack - DCWV (2010)
Stickers: Basic Grey - letters, HOTP Dazzles - stars, Creative Imaginations - epoxy words
Metal frame - Making Memories
Ribbon - SEI

What I'm reading:
I'm going to continue with Sarah's Key today. I know it's going to be a great book, but I also know it's going to make me cry so I'm kind of dreading it.

What I'm cooking:
Breakfast: Almond Strawberry Parfaits
Lunch: BLT
Supper: ? (I had planned on making Garlic Parmesan Wings, but I'm not sure I'm going to get to the grocery store because of the weather.)

Using OLD stash today

It's a beautiful Sunday morning here in Oklahoma, and today I used some really old products. Here's the layout.

These are pictures from my daughter's kindergarten class trip to the zoo. She just finished her 8th grade year! Yes, I'm just a few years behind. I was inspired by all the great grid layouts I saw on iNSD and thought it would be perfect for all the animal pictures.

Supplies used:
Paper: DCWV "Gone Wild" paper pad (2012)
Stickers: Making Memories - letter stickers (1997!!!!!)
Mesh and chipboard: stash
Brads: HOTP - brad buddies, Paper Studio - animal print (2009)
Tag: Formica sample from hardware store
Stamps and ink: CTMH

What I'm reading:
I hope to make a dent in Lair of Dreams today since I'll be in the car by myself for 3 hours.

What I'm cooking:
NOTHING! I'm taking my mom and grandma back to her house in OKC after church and won't be home in time for supper. The kitchen is closed today!

Let's try this again

I'm more than a little embarrassed that I've been off my blog for over a year, but I would like to try this again. Today is the first day of summer break, and I've been scrapping more often lately. 2019 is the year to Bash My Stash, Use It or Lose It, and clear it out. Other than my monthly CTMH kits that I buy, I haven't really bought supplies in awhile. I've been watching Youtube videos and feel like I have my mojo back. Hopefully I can keep it up. All that being said, I'm going to spend the next few days getting into the routine of posting. I would really like to include books that I'm reading and recipes that I'm cooking, too. So here it goes:
