Wedding

Shhhh.  It's a gift - the first page of a wedding album I'm making for friends getting married in a couple weeks.  I don't think she ever looks at my blog....so good to share here.

Loving You Forever

I used Featured Stamper 927 from Splitcoast for inspiration for this card - and recreated the card digitally.  

Featured Stamper Card

This card was scraplifted from this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast - SybilMcC. The paper is Paper Studio.  The flamingos are Waterfcolor Flamingos from Creative Fabrica.

Friends Layout

Here's a layout I made for a Cherry Top Challenge with a "Friends" theme. The starry background paper has been in my stash since I was teaching classes.  All the other papers are scraps in mystash.  The border is the leftover pieces from scalloped borders I cut some time ago.  The butterflies were a gift from another crafty friend that were perfect for this page. That's the kind of layout I like - Open a couple storage folders, pull out some papers, and you're done! Oh, I did cut the lacy circle in the middle....but I cut several different circles so next time I need a circle....check out the stash!

Flamingos in the Flowers

I got a bundle of flamingos from Creative Fabrica.  I think every one of them is so cool, I'm on a mission to use each one!  This is the time I wish I lived in Florida so I could use them in all my layouts.  LOL! Here is just one card.

Winterhaven 2-Page Layout

This layout is of Winterhaven's Christmas lights.  The neighborhood lights are SO magnificent - the photos not so much.  Yet they still bring back memores.

16th Anniversary

This is a two-page layout telling the story of our boring 16th anniversary celebration. This tells the story of our one and only anniversary not celebrated on or near a train because of Covid.  So it was a visit to the Saguaro National Park East.

Present for Robin

Present for Robin was used for this card - from Lili of the Valley, Kerst Christmas Challenge.

I love working from sketches. This sketch is for Stinker's Birtthday Sketchathon challenge At Cherry on Top.

Majestic Deer

Took a little siesta from posting while I planned this year's vacation to the Canadian Rocky Mountains.  We had a wonderful trip....and home life is getting back to normal.  So hope to be posting more regularly.

For my card for the Kerst Christmas Challenge, I used Majestic Reindeer from our sponsor, Fairy Hugs.

Good Time Travels

Finished my layout ... then wondered. Was the train trip to Grayling or Gaylord? Oh, well....Grayling as much as anybody knows now!

Little Bears Christmas - Kerst Christmas Challenge

Using Simply Crafty's Angled Treat Box and Little Bears Christmas from Last-Minute Manda.

Make-the-Cut Layout

 I was inspired by this month's Make-the-Cut Challenge at Cherry on Top to create this layout.

Kerst Christmas Challenge - March

I made this card for the March Kerst Christmas  Challenge.  You had to use colors other than red and green...guess what my favorite Christmas color is.  With the paper already in my stash, choosing colors wasn't too difficult!  The image is Carols Singing from our sponsor, Lili of the Valley.  If you want to participate, too, you have another couple weeks to upload your entry!
