2024 Yes Jar

I printed the title. Then I dug into my stash and found some rub-ons with family sentiments.  I added the tag for a Cherry on Top Challenge.

Cacti Layout

I just love the plants out here in Arizona.   This layout was for a Cherry on Top Challenge to use a famous line from a Gene Hackman movie.  I chose the line "Down here, things are different" from Mississippi Burning.

Wednesday's Finest

The title is computer generated, as well as the journaling and the journaling strips.  The sticker is from a scrapbook weekend with these ladies.  The photo is of our Wednesday's Zoom Crop - I was on a new computer and could not figure out how to adjust my camera - so I spent the day upside down.

Southwest Birthday

Special request from a friend for some Southwest cards.  This is the first of a set.  I forgot where the paper is from, but it was originally black and gold....using GIMP, I changed the colors to turquoise and rust for a Southwest feel.  I love how it came out!

Train Heaven

We were in heaven as we visited the 1225 after the movie premiere.  Someone asked the tour guide who could drive this steam engine.  Gene's face lit up when the the tour guide pointed to me and said, "Two people in this building - me and her." I created this layout for the Large  Alpha/Number Cherry Challenge at Cherry on Top.

Schnitzel Dinner

I used We Are 3 digital paper.  Title was computer generated.  The fork and spoon are from Creative Fabrica....and I can't remember who created the other clip art.

Time to Give

I love PolkaDoodle pre-colored images - mostly 'cause I don't have to work so hard to make a fun card.   They are a great way to put together lots of Christmas cards quickly.  Today I'm using Time to Give.



This month's Kerst Christmas Challenge is themed "Use Green."  I added just a couple green accents - allowing me to use scrap papers in my stash.  Come join the challenge at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1060810930603477.
