"Let's Go Retro" Challenge

The challenge this time was to use a picture from before 2011, but preferably MUCH older. This was taken in 1952 or 1953. It is me and it looks like I'm around a year old. It wasn't dated, so I'm just guessing.

"I LOVE" in title challenge

We were supposed to use "I LOVE or I Heart" in our titles and make it about something we don't always scrap about in our albums. Yellow roses definitely are my favorite flower to get and David gave me these for our 21st anniversary.

Red, White & Aqua

I found out I LOVE this color combination and will definitely be using it again.

Grid It Up Challenge

This was an easy one for me. I knew right away what I was going to use. I have a few pieces of All My Memories "Time Savers" cardstock that is all grid patterns. It's old, but needed to be used.

Add Some Journaling

Thought this was going to be a snap. We were to go back to an old layout and add some journaling, where some had been omitted. Found the layout right away, but didn't just want to add some writing on the page. Had to make the pocket because I wanted the colors to match, then I had to decorate the pocket and finally do the writing. Pleased with how it turned out.

Another layout

This was a layout using a sheet of paper as the embellishments. Thought this travel paper was perfect for a graduation day for our granddaughter who is getting ready to go away to college.




Start Here Challenge

Like this design. My only problem was that my black paper with the words written on it wasn't as long as I wanted. I just cut it, extended it down the page and added brads to cover the blank spot.



Sticker Challenge

This was a great challenge because I very rarely use stickers anymore, but still have a lot of them. Used ones from Jolee, Daisy Hill, Debbie Mumm and Creative Imaginations. Thanks for this great challenge, Shimelle!

The printable challenge...

I decided instead of a scrapbook page, I'd make an anniversary card. In-laws anniversary is coming up and the colors seemed to lend themselves to this.

Here's my first layout of the weekend. Glad for the inspiration.
