Holly Wreath Deer - Stripes and Splatters

I’m head over heels for the Holly Wreath Deer by Bonnie Kohane! It’s such a versatile image, especially when paired with her gorgeous Stripes and Splatters papers. They truly are a match!

Oops! When a Challenge Theme Gets Misread

When I saw the theme for this month’s Music Challenge at A Cherry on Top, I immediately knew which advertising lyric I wanted to use for my title.
My problem lately? I've been skimming the requirements instead of really reading them! Once again, I created a layout I can’t actually submit to the challenge… sigh.
It’s a MUSIC challenge, and I used a SLOGAN.
I went with the slogan "LOVE AT FIRST TOUCH" from Pampers commercials, thinking it was a lyric. Ah well! The title is computer-generated, and the lovely word strips are from the Boho Elegant Christian Bundle from Creative Fabrica.

Sometimes a layout is just for fun!

Taking a Trip Down Memory Lane: ACOT Rewind Layout

Taking a little trip down memory lane!  I’ve been having the best time playing along with the A Cherry On Top challenges. For this one, I tackled the 'Rewind' layout challenge, using the amazing Weekly Sketch #466 as my guide to scrap a throwback photo. It was such fun to look back and document this memory!

Betcha' Can't Eat Just One

March is finally here!  While the sun is absolutely shining here in sunny Sahuarita—giving us beautiful HOT days—I know many of you are still experiencing winter weather.

I honestly appreciate the lingering cold right now because I am still working on winter layouts for my grandson! It’s the perfect time to wrap up those snowy, cozy layouts while looking out at blue skies.

Speaking of my grandson, while I was capturing memories, he was participating in his own "indoor hobby"—cooking! He made these incredible homemade potato chips.  They are definitely going into his memory album.

How are you wrapping up your winter layouts, or have you already moved to spring? Let me know in the comments!

Cozy Woodland Card

I’m absolutely thrilled with how this project came together! I used the gorgeous Woodland Crib digital stamp from our sponsor, Lili of the Valley, to create a delicate, whimsical accent.

However, the real star of the show is this week’s adorable freebie: the Holly Wreath Deer by Bonnie! I’ve even tucked in a little "sneak peek" for next week’s release... can you spot it?
