Snow Much Work

In 2014 we had a huge snow which is unusual for NW Oklahoma. Garrett was old enough to shovel the sidewalks, but he didn't enjoy it too much. It was a little harder work than he thought it would be. This paper collection is Bo Bunny from 2009! I also used a sketch from A Cherry on Top.

What a View

More NYC pictures! I might get this trip from 2008 finished one of these days. Then I have four more NYC trips to scrap. LOL  For this one, I used another sketch from Sketches in Thyme, #398. Anyone remember SEI papers? I still have so many collections. I think I bought everyone of them, but I still like them and find them easy to use. To the SEI papers, tags, and buttons, I added a few stickers from my stash. These pictures were taken from the top of the Empire State Building.

CBS Morning Show

I used the Scrap Our Stash Pick a Side sketch challenge for the inspiration for this layout. I've already scrapped most of the pictures of our visit to the CBS Morning Show back in 2008, but I wanted to scrap these last three pictures. I used a VERY old Teresa Collins collection that I received in a kit several years ago. I'm waiting to do the journaling on the tag once I find my memorabilia that has the names on it.

Grateful for You

I'm so excited to join the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog for this week's challenge. I used my oldest CTMH paper and stickers called Let's Get Together from 2007! It's crazy that I've been buying CTMH for that long. I also used a sketch from the Reflections book. The only thing on the layout that isn't CTMH is the ribbon and the "grateful" sticker I added from my stash. These pictures of my kiddos were taken back in 2012. It's amazing that they were so little.

I'm Back

I did this layout for the sketch challenge over at Sketch N Scrap. I used an old Paper Studio kit for NYC and added a few other NYC stickers that I've accumulated over the last few years. I even used a really old stamp for the background. These pictures were taken on my niece's senior trip back in 2012. It was the first day there, and we were just walking around a little. The last time I was there was with her older sister on her senior trip so that's the reason for the title.

Captured

I used the CTMH Hawthorn collection plus a few things from my stash and an old sketch for this layout of my kiddos at a pig show way back in 2011.

Fa La La La

I'm so ready for Christmas for the first time in several years. In fact, I think I'm going to put my tree up later today. All Sorts Challenge blog challenged people to use Christmas flowers on a layout, so I dug deep in my stash, used a Nov. 2019 Pagemap sketch, and came up with this layout of my daughter singing in the church Christmas play way back in 2011.

Give Praise for Old Friends

I used another Sketches in Thyme sketch for this layout. This is for sketch #397, and I used really old Doodlebug papers and embellishments for this layout. I love bashing my stash! I added a little ribbon and jewels for embellishments.

Here's the sketch:

Sweet Piper layout

I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme Sketch #396 for starting point for this layout. I also used Color Throwdown #569 for the color inspiration but couldn't enter it since it wasn't a card. I just enjoy getting ideas from the colors they post on there. I dove into my stash for this layout using some very old K & Co. papers and Jolee stickers. The photos are of my great-niece and my sister-in-law from Dec. 2018.
