Please Don't Make Me...

Hi you all and welcome to this week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff blog. Jana is our hostess with Challenge #229 - Fruit or/and vegetables:

 This layout came about a different way than what I usually do a layout :) It was created for LOAD516 Day 30: It was a MONDAY THEME: ME, MYSELF & I prompt: Please don’t make me…

 Harvesting Tomatoes is not my favorite thing to do :) But gotta love the outcome of the canned goods

 We do tomatoes each summer for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, stewed tomatoes and crushed tomatoes for the winter. The prompt was a perfect title to the layout :) I have fun digging out some farm/garden related scrappy stash for the layout and actually went through the process from beginning to end of canning tomatoes with the pictures. I'm certainly happy I created the layout is shows some of what we do during the summer and part of our everyday life :) As the garden is a big part of our life in the summer and usually from late spring to early fall were are storing something up for the winter by way of the garden with either canning or freezing it. We look forward to seeing your creation for this challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog

Capture A Moment for Funday Friday Challenge

Happy Friday you all :) Today I'm up with Jo Scrap Shack with this week's Funday Friday Challenge it is Anything Goes :) Our sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps. I used their Capture A Moment digi stamp set. This set comes with lots too :) Words, a couple of frames and this lttle lady:

I got both the lady with the camera and the tile for my layout with this set. I used my current counterfeit kit Just Chillin' for my layout. I also got some help from the sketch over at Sketch N Scrap to put my layout together.

I also got some help with the idea for the layout from Whimsical Musings Challenge #159 - Inspired by what’s making you happy taking walks with Buddy, capturing special moments, seeing Spring blossoming around you that all makes me happy :) Buddy was such a good boy too. so cooperative for me while I was just trying to get the right pose :) (Yep, lots of pictures to get the few I have (thank goodness for digital cameras :)

 My journaling :)

Love to Bake! a Lasting Memories Scrapbook Layout Challege

This weeks challenge at Lasting Memories is to tell us what you love about yourself. 

Go ahead and brag a bit, I know I am. These are the kind of stories you want to leave for future generations:)

I certainly enjoy doing many things, but what I love most about myself is my baking abilities :) Something that I started to learn at home with Mom, enhance my skills through Jr. High and Sr. High School with Home Economics and Cooking classes and now with the internet there are loads of great recipes to try out there :) I have a few favorites that are a go to if I want to have a dessert made quickly, but I also like to challenge myself and find new recipes that then become more favorites :)

A few of my favorite baking goodies :) Apple and Pumpkin pies, Coconut cake, and new favorite Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese icing, and a variety of cookies at Christmas time with Sand Tarts being the yearly classic.
I found a sketch to use for my layout:

 

 I found this PageMaps sketch on google search for a 4 photo scrapbook sketch :) Really like the layout of the photos so went with it.

 I had fun creating the layout using my current counterfeit kit: Supper Daze and also using Whimsical Musings: WM#142 inspired by going round in circles, using many circle embellishments on the layout.

 Also the challenge over at Scrappin N Chattin yahoo group for the 3 Ring Circus challenge of using at least 3 circles on my layout. I count 9 altogether.

 I found this fun recipe card in my Recipe/Kitchen stash box and though this was a good place to use that :)

A fun Home Economics diecut to add to this fun cluster. Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to see your creation for this fun challenge.
