Off the Hook

Hi you all :) After cleaning off my craft desk yesterday I rewarded myself by crafting up this 2 page layout. The papers in this layout come from 3 different Monthly Counterfeit kits ( a piece of this month's is in there too :) I dug these pictures out to be scrapped in April, well never got the chance too and May LOAD had nothing to do that I could use these pictures for so yesterday was the perfect day to scrap them :) Plus there is still a handful from that day left to scrap another layout too.

This was made from a sketch challenge over at Scrappin N Chattin yahoo group for this month's challenges. So the grid work of the sketch worked out perfect for the fishing photos

Albert and Andrea and their kids less Astacia was on this layout. Albert is our next to the last son (Dave's 3rd child). the pictures are from last year that Andrea posted of FB so I grabbed them and did the layout :). I'm looking forward to handing over the layouts of the kids and their kids to the kids at Christmas time with an album that I can then just create the layouts and give to them each year.

 The kids were sure having fun :)

The journaling just about all of it came from what Andrea posted for each of the pictures and I made some assumptions with the rest. I used 3 diecuts on the layout: 2 I received from swaps and 1 is the one I created for a swap from the Nifty Fifties cartridge.

Take a Cruise

Hi you all and I'm your designer today at Card A Day Blog for travel theme week

 Card I made reminds me of a cruise down Route 66, myself I would love to take a cruise across Historic Route 30 in PA, a bucket list item. This card can be used for a variety of themes so I haven't added a sentiment yet.
Details:
It's a A2 Card, card base is a White cardstock, with a layer if black cardstock and then the layer of the Map paper inked edges with tea stain distressed ink for a vintagy look. The 57 Chevy is cut from Nifty Fifties cartridge at 1.5" popped up for dimension.
I brought in the Map paper into the inside of the card and a layer of white cardstock
