Mery Merry Merry card for a Sketch N Scrap challenge

 Good morning and welcome to my blog :) When you see this I will be at my local scrapbooking crop having a blast! But there is the time to make cards, making a Christmas card with one of the older sketches over at Sketch and Scrap can certainly be fun when it has a fun twist too! First here is the sketch I chose:

The twisty challenge was to use 3 colors from the rainbow with a touch of gold and I used Red, Green and Yellow:

I added a touch of gold with the trim and sentiment on the card :)

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.

Grown Up Play Time LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

 Good morning and welcome to my blog. We are starting to see Spring weather here in PA so good to see the sun out and the weather warming up. Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #169 from January 2019 for my layout inspiration and the twist was to use Rainbows.

The layout I created with this sketch:

Packing up my car for a crop :) for me a crop with friends is my play time so thought the title was a fitting start for this weekend to be scrapped. I used a bunch of stuff and those fun rainbows I got for Christmas. This collection from 49&Market the papers are just about gone, got a bunch of embellishments to use up too.

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.

CKC - March 2025 Kit Reveal - Cruisin' Through Life

Welcome to my blog and 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. Christine is also our hostess this month. But first I would like to welcome our guest Master Forger this month, Martha Saenz. You can check out her creations over on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msaenzmd

Master Forger Ryann is our hostess this month and she has chosen a fun kit, just perfect for me as I just came back from a cruise and it fits our album collection well. Our inspiration kit for the month is from Sweet Shoppe Designs . I chose the Beach Tale Collection by Kristin Cronin-Barrow. While this is a digital kit (and I have some of it) there is plenty to counterfeit from our stash!  

This one spoke to me since it looks like Hawaii - and I just got back from my first trip to Hawaii in February!  My husband and I hadn't been before, and we went for his birthday.  And speaking of birthdays, March is my birthday month, so we will use this kit for birthday layouts, too!   I know that not everyone has tropical photos to scrapbook, but this kit looks really versatile - lots of wood grains in different colors, water that can be pool photos, and there are two collections in this kit - one that is softer pastels, the other that is a little more bold.  There is enough of both pink and blue to appeal to nearly anyone!  The woodgrain and browns gives enough neutral options to make the whole kit great for a variety of layouts. 

Kit overview:

Kit 1 - High Tides

Kit 2 - Good Vibes

The perfect choice for me this month and will work out well with my cruise photos. I love the colors and swooned over the color woodgrain paper. Here is my kit for March:

Cruisin' Through Life

The papers: There is alot. 38 full sheets and a bunch of scraps along with a Paper pad I got at Christmas time.

Variety of Close ups:

I got a scrapbook kit on the ship so I added that to this kit.

Lots of odds and ends here. Frames, flowers, and a chipboard set I got as a gift.

A bunch of Wood veneer and acrylic from Some Assemblage Required plus a few items from the advent calendar I received from the same shop.

Frames, Tickets, Chipboard and more stencils

A few flair too. Gonna be a fun month of scrapping. Waiting on my 1st batch of photos to arrive. Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world. I'm the end of the hop, and we look forward to seeing what you come up with for the inspiration, your always welcome to post over at the CKC communly facebook group
