A Great Love Story for a Use Your Stuff Challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) I hope it's a bit cooler where you love, we've been under a heat advisory for the last few days, excessive heat for 2 of those days. So limited scrapping for me during this time as to the heat and no AC in the room.
This week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog the theme is ROMANCE!
Your project could be about young love, old love, a romantic movie, date, a significant other, pretty much anything that shows romance to you! 

I wasn't expecting this type of title or journaling for the beginning page of our vacation last year with this stop in Canton, OH to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Love the stenciling of the hearts about the layout. Added a few foam footballs for the theme of the layout :) A decent selfie too.I used my May counterfeit kit-Enjoy the Road for this quick layout. What made the layout so quick was I done the stenciling days before I made the layout.
I chose to use a layout I created during LOAD519 Day 23 was Love Potion #9 (song by the Searchers) The lyrics of the song tell a story but it's not really a love story! Do you have a story with a happier ending? The technique part of this day was to use hearts.
So this trip is our 25th Anniversary trip so fitting for the prompt, plus it was great to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we both enjoyed seeing it, would have to say I probably enjoyed it a wee bit more than Dave as I enjoy football a wee bit more than he does :)

 Just a wee bit of journaling for the layout more will come when more pages are created.

My title of the layout thought it was fitting for the prompt.
Thank you for stopping by today I look forward to seeing your creation for this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog

1st Day on Campus LO for Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to the 2nd challenge of the month over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. The 2nd challenge is a sketch challenge. One of my favorite things to go to when I'm creating is a sketch. For me it's an easy, fast way to do a layout or a card. So join us with your kit and I challenge you to play with this sketch:

Using that large doily I added to my kit Countryside for this layout it was fun to create a layout from this sketch:

I created this layout about my Granddaughter's 1st Day on Campus a day for accepted students to spend to get to check out the campus. It maybe been Spring by the calendar but as the background looks not quite spring yet so combine both elements in my layout with the snow flakes and the floral pattern paper.

 Had some fun with the clusters on the layout. Using a Blue/Green combo for the layout with various shades of both colors.

 Adding a leaf diecut to represent some Spring to the layout with the snowflakes for the snow in the photos.

 Had fun with the journaling on the layout using some word stickers too as well as my own handwriting.

My granddaughter is on the right and she was with her best friend and roommate that day.
