JR Prom for a Lasting Memories Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to a new week's challenge over at Lasting Memories. This month's challenge is All About Patterns and this week's challenge pattern is florals. I actually struggle using floral pattern paper for some odd reason. But I try to use it when I can and this layout used floral paper and floral embellishments:

This layout came out of LOAD517 Day 31
Prompt:
The Martian – 2015
Give yourself some credit! What ingenious idea or creative solution to a problem have you come up with?
 I went Off Prompt :) Just couldn't come up with anything today for the prompt :) So I did a couple of photos that have been sitting on my desk ready to be scrapped :)             
Tammy's youngest son Bradley and his girl Courtney looking very stunning for the JR Prom. As they go to separate schools they actually attend each others proms.
Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation for this week's challenge posted over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge blog

My 1st Ride for a Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to the new week's challenge over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge blog. This month's theme is All About Patterns and this week's challenge is stripes.

 This layout was created for LOAD517 Legends of Hollywood Day 20  
Grease – 1978
What kind of car do you drive now, or what was your first car, or what car did your parents drive wen you were young, or how do you get around without a car?
I went with a story of my youth for this prompt and about my parents too. It was cool to see this bus at the local Transportation Museum it brought back alot of memories from me but that is a story for another time, this is the story I told for this prompt.This was my very 1st ride growing up :) Buses I remember the most, but Taxis too. My parents (era:1967) they didn't drive. Not sure why, but they never did so for me this was my normal. Till I started going places with my Aunt.
 I don't use stripes very often but I do try to get them into my counterfeit kit each month when I can. I used a picture of my parents I found while looking through slides, there isn't many with them together :) Also a picture of the bus that was at the museum.
Thank you for stopping by today and have a great holiday tomorrow to all my USA bloggers :) I look forward to seeing what you create for this fun challenge over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook challenge.

Wander for a Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) Worked the night shift last night a mandatory thing so a short weekend for me :) We have a new challenge for you this week over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook challenges, Lauren has asked us to Use a BIG title to document our BIG adventure.
This is a glittery big title for a big adventure around our Historic Downtown, a fun adventure for me down memory lane where I grew up and to learn more about my home town. I'll be on another walking tour next week too done by our local library so another fun adventure.

I used a fun title from Shimelle's line Go Now Go. This was created from LOAD517 Day 23:
Prompt:
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – 1986
What would you do with a whole day off?
This is what I did:
I don't get to many Saturdays off so I took advantage of the day and did somethings in the morning with Dave, but in the afternoon I went off on my own for awhile. A walking tour of out local Downtown. We have a rich history in Williamsport, PA and it was cool to take a day off and check out the walking tour of the old buildings that are Downtown. Growing up here I certainly appreciate seeing glimpses of my childhood with in the buildings that in itself could tell a story of a memory from the buildings. Old buildings and some new fixtures with in Downtown Williamsport made the tour very interesting. A lot more layouts from this tour to come as I scrap it.

 My tour guide, a self guided tour through Historic Downtown Williamsport, PA

 My journaling

       This was cool to find along the way and a story to tell in another layout. The building across the street had that fun mural on it too. There is alot more to this adventure to come lots of photos to scrap.
I look forward to seeing what you create for this fun challenge over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge blog.

Nothern Flicker-UYS challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) This week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog is All Creatures Great and Small - Create a project with an animal on it...it could be the photo, the DP that you use, or some sort of embellishment. I have created alot of Bird layouts since I love Bird Watching and this is one I made during LOAD:

 From LOAD517 Day 3:
Prompt:
The Jazz Singer (talkies) – 1927
All the words! Tell a big story with lots of words in the journaling OR tell the story of a sound or quote you often hear.
I used alot of words in a variety of ways on my layout to tell the story.

I had used my April counterfeit kit: Spring Garden for this layout :) I think I found the inspiration for this layout on pinterest. Grabbing a piece of Cardstock (don't use often enough anymore) from my stash. I had fun creating the layout in a grid format with pictures and cutapart cards.

My journaling:

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation of All Creatures Great and Small over at Use Your Stuff Blog

Great Grandpa layout for a Lasting Memories challenge

Welcome to the last challenge for this month of challenges over at Lasting Memories. The theme this month was June Holiday Insights and it's been fun seeing those weird holidays that aren't the normal. Here is another one for this week's challenge is June 25th is Log Cabin Day - Log Cabin Day brings us back to a quieter, simpler, more rugged era. Life was rustic and simple. Make your layout a bit rustic and simple. Maybe add some torn edges to your layout, use neutral colors, or a woodsy look to your layout.
I did a torn edge on my layout of my husband seeing his Great-Grandson for the 1st time :) The layout itself wasn't to rustic, but the plaid background is my husband as most of the time he is wearing flannels shirts other than these pictures :)

 The 3 photos were from Waylon's 1st Birthday party and it was great to see such great interaction with Dave and Waylon. The pictures were taken outside and the location was the Grandaughter's house that looked like a log cabin inside.

 This layout also came about from LOAD517 Day 18:
Prompt:
The Godfather – 1972
Although there are many unsavoury actions taking place in this film, the one thing the mafia holds dear is the sentiment surrounding family. How is your family important to you?

As you can see in alot of the layouts I do they usually have family in them, family is very important to us :) This weekend we are up in NY celebrating our Grandson's Graduation. The 1st time my husband got to see his 1st Great-Grandchild. The interaction was great that day. Yes this is our family legacy we see it through the kids, grandkids and Greatgrandkids

 Love this photo of Waylon and Dave together. I used last month's counterfeit kit: Nature's Party for my layout

 Title of the layout

 Lots of word stickers to help with the journaling. Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation over at Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge blog.

Hunt On a LO for Stick It Down sketch challenge

Good Morning and welcome to June :) Wow May went by really fast but then I was working, sleeping and scrappin! LOAD does that to me :) So June is a time to relax and catch my breath a bit but will still be trying to do a layout a day if I can :)
Today is reveal day over at Stick It Down and the double page sketch is a really good one for lots of pictures:

 

and this is the layout I created with this cool sketch:

 

This are pictures from this year's Easter Egg Hunt and this was just one of the locations, we used 2 other fields and 2 groves for the hunt so a few more layouts are on the way :) We always have a ball doing this for the grands and this year the weather was perfect other than it being a tad to hot and the chocolate melted.

 The left side of the layout

 the right side of the layout

 The title block and Dave being Dave :) he does like to be in charge :)

 The year I put this in where the subtitle was to be on the sketch, finally got to use the alpha once this month :)

 A border of rabbit heads from the sticker sheet in the counterfeit kit this past month :) Nature's Party

And the journaling block. This was also for LOAD517 Day 30 as I went off prompt cause I could only get the one layout completed that day.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creation linked up over at Stick It Down.

CHEESY

Welcome back to another layout from LOAD517 Day 7
Prompt:
Gone With the Wind – 1939
“As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again!” Inspired by Scarlett’s vow, this is a food prompt! Because she didn’t have much food, you are on a “starvation diet” to tell your food story. Use only three colors, two embellishments, and a one-word title.

 The 3 color I used was Brown, Blue and Red. I used Brads and Chipboard for my 2 embellishments and the 1 word title: CHEESY. I used a cooking papers and props for my foody layout. but I did use that maroon pattern paper from my current counterfeit kit: Nature's Party for the layout as well as brads from my 100 Pattern Paper facebook group challenge a few months ago that has been sitting on my desk to get used up :)
I used the May 1-7 sketch over at Sketches in Thyme:

 This was a fun sketch to use

 close up of the journaling

 The recipe and the scattering of the brads in the 3 choosen colors

 Found a fun vellum quote in blue to use too for the layout. Thanks for stooping buy once again to see what I'm up too in my little corner of the world.

Procrastination

Yep that would be my Kryptonite! Procrastination is my worst enemy :) LOAD517 Day 21

Prompt:
Superman – 1978
What’s your Kryptonite? What stops you for doing what you need, or want, to do?
 Procrastination has to be my kryptonite. I can have good intentions and then something else that is usually more fun will stop me from doing what I should be doing :) House Cleaning falls into this category very well :) 

 I used my current counterfeit kit Nature's Party for this layout. Also grabbed a couple of project life cards too for my journaling and for the word card cause this is my life.
I used the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme May 15-21 sketch for my inspiration for this layout:

For a really quick layout this sketch is a fast one to use

 close up of the layout

and a close up of the journaling :) I'm thinking that's all the challenges that I did over the past month if not then I missed them :) Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a fantastic day

Home Machine

Welcome back to another layout from LOAD517 Day29
Prompt:
The Matrix – 1999
Create a layout that tells about a decision that indirectly led you to an entirely different experience. I never would have thought I’d end up ____ when I started doing _____.
This was a fun way to start a prompt with a statement to start off my journaling. I had come across some early photos when I was just about to get started with my business venture and this embroidery job pretty well clinched the thoughts of me getting an embroidery commercial machine. found out the home machine could only do so much.

 I used that crazy piece of scrapbook paper that was in my current counterfeit kit: Nature's Party. I really was struggling with using this paper for some odd reason.
I used the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme for my layout:

A fun layout to play with :)

 My journaling spot

 Fun word stickers for the corner cluster. I used brads once again for my embellishment along with a piece of ribbon for a paper strip.

 The small title thought it would reference the small machine well.

  This is the hat, found it was a bit harder to do with the home machine and if I wanted to make this business work and be profitable I would need a larger machine.
Thanks for stopping by once again today to see what I've been doing in my little corner of the world.

Momma

Good Morning and welcome :) This is a layout from LOAD517 Day 9
Prompt:
The Maltese Falcon – 1941
Sam Spade is a great detective. Use clues in your prompt today to tell your story. BONUS: Use only black and white as your colours today in a tribute to the film noir genre.
I used Black n White for both my layout and my photos :) can't say I'm a big fan of the look but I did try it and was surprised how well it did turned out :) I think a color photo would have probably been better but this is how I learn what to do and not to do :)

 I used the one B&W pattern paper in my current counterfeit kit: Nature's Party and I also used a paper from my 100 Pattern Paper challenge, a scrap paper, a couple of project life cards and 2 washi tapes for my layout all in black and white. I sprinkled white enamel dots on the layout too. 2 black and white photos for the layout.
I used the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme May 8-14 sketch for my layout inspiration:

Usuing washi tape for the arrows and the stitching lines on the sketch.
Close ups of the layout:

 Love this details card for the family photo

and I found this photo of Waylon too from the previous year to add to the layout too. As the theme of the layout is Sabrina being a Momma and she is such a great momma to these 3 cuties :)
Thanks for stopping by today and you'll probably see a couple more layouts yet today :)

Welcome Springtime

Hello :)
This layout came From LOAD517 Day 17
Prompt:
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – 1971
What moment in your life left you in awe and wonder? Where do you find awe and wonder in your daily life? It might be a big moment or a small one, let’s honour it today!

 This is a picture I took one day when Buddy and I went for a walk, as I was coming around the one area of the rail trail we have at the house I was in awe when I saw all the fruit trees in blossom. Made for a fantastic spring site and this is what I honor today. I used a piece of kraft paper for the challenge over at the 100 Pattern Paper facebook challenge group. A Mary E paper and got out my paper crimper too for another challenge in another facebook group too.I played quite a bit off the pink paper for my embellishments.
I used the sketch over at The Memory Nest for my layout:

One of the designers: Lori gave inspiration with her layout when she tucked all the papers in under the photos and I went that way too with my layout.

 Journaling

 Fun cluster and a kraft project life card too

 Another fun cluster too.
I also used the challenge over at Whimsical Musings Inspired by Petals as I was inspired by those beautiful blossoms

Sweet & Salty

Good Morning and another layout coming at you from LOAD517 Day1:

One of my all time favorite snacks :) My mother started this for me when I was a child.She would do it and then I would do and now it's a favorite. I used the Recollections The Neapolitan collection for my layout and those fun Alphas from my last month's counterfeit kit: Social Butterfly.

The Prompt:
A Trip to the Moon – 1902
Use a product on your layout that creates a special effect.

I used the texture paste and the mist for the special effect:

 It was fun and I really need to play a bit more often :)

For my layout inspiration I went directly to Let's Get Sketchy to see what their newest sketch was:

I left the opening for the photos and the side borders when I created the texture for the bottom mat on the layout. I did flip the photo mat to work with my photos:

Other close ups of the layout:

 My journaling

 close up of those pennants and that fun metal ice cream cone charm

My title cluster.
Thanks for stopping by once again to see what I'm up to in my corner of the world.
