Fair Food

Good Morning :) This week something pretty cool is happening over at Scrap Happy, a mini LOAD! One week long LOAD and it's a Summer Lovin LOAD. So I have done 2 layouts so far. This one is the 2nd one: Summer Food. We'll there is all kinds of way to go about this, but my favorite summer food is Fair Food so with October Afternoon's Midway collection I made this layout:

I used this sketch over at The Memory Nest:

Since my photo is a collage photo, it's  bit larger than the block in the sketch. The elements are there :)

 A fun spot to add my journaling and a cluster of stickers

A close up of the food. The newest thing I tried this year was the Deep Fried Nutter Butters like a burst of peanut butter in a dough not bad, but I like the Oreos better :)
Have a great day today

Simply the Best

Yes he sure is :) Today's layout features our favorite pooch, Buddy. It also features to sketch challenges. Today I am the featured Maven over at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style and this is the card I made for my layout:

And the sketch this week is:

Now for the reveal of Sketch #39 by our fabulous, Treasa Cimorose......

A 4X6 card that I then embellished with paw printed ribbon, journaling stickers and a cut out for the corner piece that Treasa had the scallop piece at.
The layout:

Sorry about the blue tint but that is the instagram photo I took of Buddy, I guess now he really does look like a blue heeler. I used the sketch over at The Memory Nest for my layout.

My version of the sketch :) this is sketch No. 68, I have fallen behind on the sketches, but planning t catch up really fast this week.

 Close up the center of the layout. I am still working with last month's counterfeit kit Just Chillin' and trying to get through some of the scraps that were left in that kit. I wasn't able to scrap as much as I would have liked last month so scrapping some of the pictures that I had planned to scrap this month. Before the end of the week you will see this month's kit :) a small version of the kit.

 The stars that I had cut for a previous layout the extras worked out perfect for this layout.

And that cute journal card I created plus my own hand written journaling. This was a fun layout and the sketches were great to use. We hope to see your creation from the top sketch over at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style soon.

Your prize for August is this Purr-fect Halloween stamp! You will have until August 31 to link up your cards. We can't wait to see how you are inspired to create this month!!!

Summer Lovin'

That title just gets my mind singing the song from Grease :) Hello to you :) Today is a new challenge week over at Lasting Memories: ADD AN IMAGE YOU COLOR OR COLOR YOUR BACKGROUND PAPER Following the new Adult coloring trend that is happening. I don't get into the coloring books, but I do enjoy coloring digi stamps and occasionally adding them to layouts. So for this challenge that is what I did:

A few captured moments of this summer. Were more home bodies this summer so it's fun to look out and about the yard to see what is happening this summer. This is just one of many summer layouts that will be done this year :) The coloring I did I used A Day For Daisies digital stamp: Daisy Bird Bath.

and I used this sketch:

Thank yor for stopping by and seeing what I'm up too today. I used scraps from last month's counterfeit kit Just Chillin' for my layout. So please join usat Lasting Memories!  You have until September 2nd to link up.  :)

Ho Ho Ho for Funday Friday challenge

Good Morning and Happy Friday to you all :) Big plans for the weekend? We have our local Antique Tractor show this weekend, so the hubby was busy yesterday taking tractors to the show: 4 tractors and 1 tumble bug plow went. So we'll be busy this weekend catching memories :) A big order of prints to get done next week then :) I hope your weekend is as festive as ours :)
Today is Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack and today it's a color challenge: Purple/Blue and White. Our sponsor for this challenge is Robyn's Fetish How about Christmas in August :)

 I had fun coloring up this Santa digital stamp from Robyn's Fetish:

with my tombow markers and I also flocked up the beard and cuffs on the outfit. Really need to use that more often :) the glue is starting to get a bit dried out :) I used some white that had sparkles in it, nothing wrong with a bit of glitter for a Christmas card.
I used the sketch over at Mojo Monday for my card:

 

 It was a fun sketch to play with and so easy :) the card was done in less that 30 minutes :) Great looking sketch for left over scraps too.

The inside of the card is ready for a sentiment :)

Here is the Big R Industrial heading to it's 1st tractor show :) thanks for stopping by today :)
 We would love to see your creations linked up over at Jo's Scrap Shack too.

Wild About You

Wow! Can't believe it is August already! where the heck did July go! So the scrappy goals I set for myself last month didn't produce much but I did have fun creating some layouts in July and a couple of cards :) I'm still trying to figure out a crafty schedule with the new job even though it's been a couple of months I still haven't gotten a good solid schedule yet. Sundays and Mondays I try to get crafty, so the rest of the week is a hit and miss. But I try to do something each day related to scrapping it may be a class, a youtube video inspiration, photo editing (I got alot that I need to upload and get printed :). The 1st of the month also provides new inspiration over at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog and this month the inspiration is different that what I have been creating with over the last couple of months so a fun kit to pull this week :).
Today I did a layout based on the sketch over at The Memory Nest and what a fun sketch it is! This is my take on the sketch:

The Memory Nest sketch:

The sketch was so out of my norm and so fun :) I found these 2 photos of Brad's boys and that started the whole layout :) I don't do that to often starting with the photos and then creating the layout but for this style sketch it worked out and then I knew the embellishments I was grabbing to use and the papers. I still grabbed some things from my July counterfeit kit Just Chillin'.

 A close up of he grid portion of the sketch, I think my arrow is little off :) Zachary looks so much like the Campbell side of the family and Tristan looks like the Bastian side, but they both have Brad's blond hair color when he was young. It's always a good visit when these 2 come over to see us :)

 So I tried my hand at bullet style journaling a challenge over at the Scrappin N Chattin yahoo group

I found a couple of quotes to add to two of the corners of the layout :). The photos of this visit was the inspiration for this layout I will also match this up to Whimsical Musings Challenge #98 - Inspired by visitors

Happy Day

Hello :) I hope you all had a great weekend :) We attended the Campbell Family reunion despite the weather and rain it was a good day yesterday. The last day of July, wow where did it go! My July didn't go as I was expecting it to, no Christmas cards made at all! So I guess I'll be a bit busy next month trying to get going on them :) Maybe Christmas in August instead of July :)
Today is Lasting Memories new challenges for August and were taking on the new Adult Coloring trends! Have you seen these coloring books in the craft shops :) it's one way to grow up and be a kid again :) So the 1st challenge this month is Include all 7 colors of the rainbow or an actual rainbow on your layouts. I think I may have covered both in my layout:

These pictures were taken with my phone :) so they are not the best but it was so cool to see this rainbow that day when I went to the bank. I knew it was going to happen when I seen the sun shining and it was raining. So instead of looking at it as a bad day cause I had planned on going to the fair, I looked at it as a good day cause we were in such need for the rain :) So I went to the fair on Monday and found out it was free admission so it all worked out, life as we know it :) God moves in many ways to brighten our day.
This layout is going to cover a few challenges, 1st I used the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme for my layout:
Sketch #211:

This was a fun sketch to work with. I like the way the clusters were going up through the center of the layout and used the left over puffy butterfly stickers on my layout. The butterfly stickers cover a challenge over at Archi-scraps a challenge blog that I missed doing a layout for last month when I went to check today the new challenge was up so glad to see butterflies for the theme of the challenge :) I used Whimsical Musings Challenge #35 - Inspired by silver linings there is a silver lining about that day :)

 A close up of the pictures with the rainbow. I had heard that the Flight 800 memorial in our area, was having it's memorial when the rainbow came out, wonderful to see God work in this way/

My journaling. I do appreciate what God gives us and we see it most in his creations :) I had fun creating this with part of my current counterfeit kit Just Chillin' I was surprised I didn't have much left in the kit, another week and I just may have killed it :) So the new kit inspiration comes out tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing it :) Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation soon posted over at Lasting Memories.
