Wedding

I also decided to get involved again at The Outlawz Challenges and found their Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  Here's the sketch to work with:

I decided to use the sketch for a layout.

I've had this picture of my parents on their wedding day, along with my grandparents, printed for a while and was just waiting on the right paper and challenge to use it.

Diamond

In entering challenges, I also decided to get involved at Soul Scrappers again.  For this month, they have a sketch challenge (SC142) using this sketch:

Here's my take on the sketch:

Diamond was our first cat; she just showed up on our carport one day when I was a teenager and eventually wooed her way inside.  She loved to sleep on my bed and always sat at the back door and meowed when she needed to go outside to use the bathroom.  Unfortunately, we found lying her in the neighbors yard one day, and she had passed away. 😢  She was such a wonderful kitty!

Supplies Used

~Echo Park Meow collection

     *Cat Icons

     *Element Sticker

     *Kitty Paws

     *Kitty Plaid

January 2020 Creations

Happy weekend, everyone!  Our world is living in some crazy times right now, so I hope I can brighten your day by sharing my creations.  I'm in an online scrapbook group, Scrappin' 'n' Chattin', and we recently (re)started a 52-Week Layout Challenge.  The point of the challenge is to complete one layout a week for every week of the year.  At the end of the year, you have fifty-two layouts to add to your albums!  We also have monthly layout challenges, a quarterly sketch challenge, monthly BINGO, and a monthly twenty-four hour challenge that helps us be creative.

I have to admit that I didn't get a lot of layouts done in 2019 (for the past couple of years, actually), so having the group start the 52-Week Layout Challenge again has really helped jump start my creativity again.  I thought at the end of each month that I would share everything I created in hopes that I can give others some crafty inspiration!  Here's everything I completed in January of this year:

I hope you get some inspiration from my creations!  Happy scrapping, everyone!  Thanks for stopping by!

Lasting Memories March Challenge

I haven't been in the layout challenge game (on blogs, anyway) for a LOOOOONG time, so I thought I'd jump back in every now and then!  I was on the Design Team at Lasting Memories back in 2011, so I thought I'd start there.  Their first challenge for March was Mix and Match Patterned Paper, so I thought this layout fit the theme perfectly:
