Tis the Season card for a Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog :) Made a Christmas card with one of the older sketches over at Sketch and Scrap can certainly be fun. First here is the sketch I chose: 

Perfect for layering paper scraps.
Using last month's counterfeit kit Oh Yeah! using that red scrap of paper from the kit for the background, the rest of the scraps came from a bin of Christmas scraps I have on hand to use for cards.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog.

Let's Go Anywhere LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog. We been seeing lots of rain this Spring weather here in PA. It would be great to see the sun out a bit. Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #282 from October 2023 for my layout inspiration. 

The layout I created with it using my current counterfeit kit Gotta Get Away
I changed it up a bit by adding 2 more photos and I flipped the sketch. Packing the day before leaving and packing up the car the day I left for Kris's house to then how out for the cruise.

CKC - May 2025 Kit Reveal - Gotta Get Away

Good morning and welcome to my blog :) Yay to May! 1st weekend of May is dedicated to us Scrappers being National Scrapbook Day. May is also National Scrapbooking Month a month of fun creating and I've got a great kit to do it with. 

Welcome to a new month of Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit to challenge us to look through our own stash and choose a kit to play with. 1st you should have arrived here from Tara's blog. I'm looking forward to checking out her kit. JoJo is also our hostess this month and she choose a fabulous kit for us to forge this month. But first I would like to welcome our guest Master Forger this month, Kathy McElfresh. I've had the pleasure to meet Kathy inperson at a retreat a long time ago, but we've been internet friends as long as I can remember from my 1st days of LOAD. She is known by Scrappy Kathy, she has a YouTube channel, Instagram and even a Facebook group called "Scrappy Kathy and Friends", be sure to check them all out.

Now the kit JoJo chose and what she says about her pick of inspiration this month: I picked a very fun travel collection for this month's inspiration. I chose Anywhere but here By Traci Reed over at Sweet Shoppe Designs. I chose this collection because it's almost summer and we will be starting our summer travels. The inspiration collection is very cute, and the colors scream summer to me.

                                                                        


 Another fun travel kit to inspire us :) Here is my kit for May:
