Indo-Pacific Aquarium

Hello, and welcome back to another post today for Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenges. This is their last challenge for August and the theme for August has been "All About Animals" and this week our challenge is:

LM #358 - In The Sea - Include an animal from the sea on your layout (fish, dolphin, sea horse, sea turtle, etc.) Can be in the photos, stickers/embellishments, or on the paper.

 

This is the layout I created for the challenge:

It was cool when we were going through the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY that the one section had this cool Aquarium. For my layout I used my counterfeit kit from last month:  Geometric Splatter. I used a sketch Make it Monday No. 93 from the Memory Nest for my layout:

Cool one to use up some scrap paper

 Some of the journaling and the cool embellishments I was able to use :)

The rest of my journaling and my title

 Close up of the photos

 I had fun creating this layout and loved that I was able to use a variety of patterns and colors to match what was happening in the tank too with the variety of corals and fish. Thank you for stopping by and seeing what I am up to in my little corner of the world. I look forward to seeing your creation linked up over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenges.

Best Wishes for a Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good Morning, so sorry about being so quiet here on the blog but have been busy creating and sharing on my instagram. Will catch up the blog here next week with all that I've been doing. But today we have this fantastic sketch for Sketch N Scrap card challenge:

Such a sweet sketch from Lisa and this is what I created with it:

 The printed tag led me to the colors I chose for my card and the papers came from my counterfeit kit last month :) I used a bit of washi tape for the side borders on the striped pattern paper.
I carried the sketch into the inside to using the same paper:

Now just need to add the paper with stamp and a message and it's ready to go. Thanks for stopping by today and I look forward to see your creation linked up over at Sketch N Scrap

Alum Bank Tractor Ride

Good Morning if you are looking for the Sketch N Scrap post you'll find it here.

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style has a new challenge sketch this week:

Great little sketch, I used it for the date card on my layout:

I used alot of bits from both the Simple Stories 24/7 collection and from my counterfeit kit last month: Geometric Splatter, I used a few of the 6X6 papers that I had in the kit. Lots of stickers from the 24/7 collection too.
This is the layout I created:

 This is the beginning page to the Tractor Ride we took with the Alum Bank Tractor Show. As you can see I'm with one of my friends Jack Horner on his tractor taking in the sights and getting pictures. But this layout was focus more around me as I'm not usually in the pictures but behind the camera taking pictures for the newsletter.

 I was a fun ride seeing the area and glad I could spend it seeing it from Jack's tractor instead of the wagon :)

My journaling pot I used the same paper that I used for my date card. This layout was also created for LOAD817Mini: Show us the fun that puts a smile on your face and makes you laugh, well the Turkey surely made me LOL that days.

Make Today Ridiculously Amazing LO for a Sketch n Scrap sketch challenge

Good morning and welcome to today's sketch challenge over at Sketch N Scrap. We have a fun sketch from Heather Hall:

So much you can do with this fun layout. I created this layout:

 This layout came about from a crazy situation that happened last month when I purchased my new laptop. I used last month's counterfeit kit: Geometric Splatter for the background paper and the scattered embellishments. Went with Simple Stories 24/7 for the rest of the layout.

 A downsize journaling of the events that took place about this laptop, I could have wrote a whole 12X12 page about it :)

Included the packing slip I got with the computer, a picture of the laptop and the 1st picture I took with the web camera in the computer.
