The Studio Challenges - Colour Tic Tac Toe

Welcome Scrappers & Happy Sunday! I hope each of you are enjoying the remainder of your weekend. I'm currently trying to stay warm as it's still super cold and windy here in the Keystone State . . . did I mention that I have a "Spring Countdown" posted at work, and I can't wait to update it tomorrow! 

Today I'm going to be sharing with you the first challenge of March on The Studio Challenges blog!

As you can see, I opted for the diagonal row of Teal, Orange and Light Blue. This Scenic Route Metropolis Line from 2006 was absolutely perfect for this challenge. Hard to believe I've been hoarding this line for soooooo long, but what can I say other than I JUST LOVE IT!! As for the layout itself, I kept the embellishments down to a minimum as the papers are a bit busy on their own, and I didn't want to add to that. . . Not to mention, this line was back in the day before manufacturers started creating the ephemera packs to match their paper lines.

Sketch N Scrap - December 2020 Sketch # 215 by Lisa Hidy / Sister For Trade

  Good Morning - 

It's that time ladies . . . .time for my December monthly sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm sharing with you my take on Sketch #215 by the very talented Lisa Hidy at Sketch N Scrap! 

I created this layout of my beautiful grandbabies - Everly Claire and Harrison Grant. It initially started out as a "First Easter" page (as it technically was), but since it also included a picture with Everly in it, I decided to change it up a bit . . .the title is perfect, as he absolutely adores his sister, but there are days when she literally cannot tolerate him, and is a bit "not nice" to him. They definitely add new meaning to the phrase - sibling rivalry. 

I of course had to change the sketch up a bit to fit my 8-1/2 x 11 needs and used an older line of Bella Blvd Papers - Sweet Sweet Spring.

Real Men Wear Masks

 Hello everyone! 

Thought I'd play along this weekend with the Scrap Our Stash’s December Mask Up challenge. Covid-19 has definitely touched each of our lives in one way or another. . . as for me, I'm grateful that my husband and I have been able to continue to go to work, we still have a steady income, and my son was able to start his sophomore year of college in person (he commutes locally). 

My journaling is a bit wordy, but I wanted to get the details on paper so one day when he looks back on this. . . .well, you know.

My journaling - 

Friday – August 21^st, 2020

First Day of your Sophomore Year at Lycoming College. Pictures were taken afterwards.I managed to get a few pictures of you while I was standing on the outskirts of the college campus. Only students were  allowed on campus – no parents and no visitors due to COVID-19. You were worried just a tad bit while I was taking pictures as suspension was threatened if you were caught breaking the rules.

Sunday – Dec 6^th, 2020 (journaling) 

You managed to attend the whole semester in person. Numerous safety measures were put into play to create a safer environment - daily check ins via text and emails, mask wearing, daily temperature checks,  smaller classes & classrooms being added (that weren’t classrooms  before), cleaning desks (that were set 6’ apart) before and after class, and more time to get from one class to another to allow for social distancing. From Aug 1^st – Nov 30^th there were a total of 15 positive cases of COVID-19 among  students, faculty, and staff.

And here’s my take on the challenge:

Paper Pad Bash - Friday October 2nd, 2020 Challenge @ Cookin' up Creations

 

The Challenge at Cookin' up Creations was to search Pinterest (or the internet) for my chosen Paper Pad and "lift" a layout using the same pad. My paper pad of choice this month is Crate Paper Wild Heart. 

This is the layout by Anita Bownds that I chose to lift - Oh Yeah Paradise 

And this is my 8-1/2 x 11 lift of the above layout. 

Thank you for stopping by . . .

“Out With the Old, In With the New" Theme at CUC

“OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW!”

Let's face it, we all have a scrappy stash …. things that we are hoarding, forgot we had, never got around to using … yeah, you know you have it, too! And if you're like us, you may have gotten new supplies and tools as gifts or maybe you hit the after-holiday sales; and we all know that Winter CHA is just around the corner, when the scrap companies will be releasing NEW designs! The Challenge Team members will be using OUR stash all month to make way for all the new goodies that have come or are yet to come our way. You'll see how we are whittling away our stash in our daily BPS Challenges throughout January. And you can join us by using up your own stash in the Blue Plate Special challenges as well. We'll be focusing all month on ways to use what you have to make room for more .... well, stuff! So … we know you have some stash (don't we all) and we know you are eyeing all those new supplies … so join us as we say “OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!”
