Weekend in Monroe is my Inspiration for the June 1st Sketch

What a lovely weekend spent at Jan's retreat in Monroe last February.  Got some homework done (yep 6 dbl LO's, 6 cards, three journal pages) and made progress towards bringing my OLW into 2015


Here is the sketch  Let's Scrap Blog is linked here

This picture of the evening sky screamed scrap me for this layout..Loved the stars barely shown in this moonscap photograph.

The stars are various die cuts, the papers and embellishments from an old Cocoa Daisy Monthly Kit.  Trying to use up old stock and it has been so much fun to dig into matched papers and embellishments and create current layouts...brings so much happiness. Oh yeah the pictures were taken with my Canon Power Shot SX700 HS on the Creative mode which takes multiple images in various settings.  The pictures were printed out using my Canon Selphy.  Love, love, love the wifi that both the camera and the printer have enabling to use these products at events such as this retreat.

Half way through May - Time for another Sketch

Wishing everyone a lovely day in May

Flowers are starting to bloom and days are getting longer

That means more time to scrap!!

I took a different approach to this sketch.  I have been working through my stash and came upon feathers....never knowing how to use the feathers I used them for my tree.  Here is my double layout
Paper and embellishments from my stash pictures of my son and his girlfriend celebrating a hot latte on Christmas morning...a gift from him to her....

Its April 1st so here is Inspiration for a LO

Well it is April Fools Day and have you played the Google Maps Pac-Man game??

I have been busy creating a layout for this awesome layout available from Let's Scrap

Here is the sketch
with so many elements throughout the page I decided to choose scrap my daughter's College Graduation photo shoot.  I had so much fun with this sketch.  Here are the results




The heart is a die from Simon Says Stamp, the embellishment from Memory Box, the word dies were borrowed from my scrap buddy so not sure of the manufacturer and I am loving those rhinestones from Prima.
