I hope everyone's having a great weekend!  I'm sure you're all just as ready for everything to reopen as I am, but I know we all want to keep everyone safe as well.  I'm plugging along with work, graduate school, making sure my son gets his AMI work done, and getting a little crafting in when I can.

If you've been visiting my blog any in 2020, then you know Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' has a 52-Week Layout Challenge going  We're in Week #15 right now, and my layout below is my Week #15 layout.  It also counts as my first layout for the April Monthly Layout Challenge there of "April Showers Bring May Flowers" and for my "Wood" BINGO square at Snc.

One of the current sketches at Sketches in Thyme is Sketch #415:

This is my take on the sketch:

I'm also entering this at Lasting Memories.  Challenge 491 there is "Word Play--Spring."  You have to use an item or technique for every letter in the word "Spring."  Mine are as follows:  S--Spring flowers on background paper, P--Patterned paper, R--Rainbow title, I--Inking (in yellow between the picture and title), N--Navy ZIG Writer used to write journaling, G--Green cardstock.

EPCOT

I must be on a roll today!  I can't remember the last time I made three layouts in one day!  For this one, I used the Let's Get Sketchy sketch from August Week 1:

I needed to make a layout that included a picture of something in nature (plants, etc.), so when I came across one of our family photos from EPCOT I knew it was perfect!  We were lucky enough to visit during the Flower and Garden Festival, so all of the topiaries were on display.

Magic

For my second Disney layout of the day, I used the August single page sketch from Stick It Down:

I thought this sketch was perfect for the photos of my youngest son meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time:

You can really see the excitement on his face, and he thought it was SUPER cool that he got to hug Mickey!

Chef Mickey's

Besides doing layouts for Scrappin' 'n' Chattin's monthly 24-Hour Challenge, I haven't completed more than one layout a month in several months.  I thought I'd almost forgotten how!  LOL!  I decided to scrap some of our 2016 Spring Break pictures from our trip to Walt Disney World.

For my first layout today, I used the sketch for Layout Challenge #110 from Sketch-N-Scrap:

Here's my take:

Our youngest son had never been to Walt Disney World, and he had a BLAST!!!  He can't wait to go back!

***********************************************************************

Welcome to May and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for May comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

I didn't have any pictures printed for my PL album (again!), so I used this week's sketch with a couple of photos from our recent trip to Walt Disney World.

Supplies Used

~Simple Stories Say Cheese collection kit

~ZIG Writer in Pure Red

Just as soon as I decide exactly what I want to do with a layout for these pics, I'll be using this on a 12x12 page to document our trip.

This will be my last Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style DT post for a few months.  Things are getting a little crazy, so I'm going to take a break for the summer.  I should be back in the fall, though!

We can't wait to see the PL cards you create with this new sketch!  Be sure to get your creation linked up at the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge blog before the end of the month.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!









Freedom card for Linnie Blooms

Happy Hump Day!  Ashley here with my Linnie Blooms July challenge creation for you!  I decided to make a patriotic card, so I used the canvas stars from Linnie Blooms.

I painted each star with watercolors (Yes, I painted the one on the left, too!).  The background paper is Celebrate Paper from the Simple Stories Sea to Shining Sea collection, and I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Barn Door.  The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from a Studio G patriotic set and was stamped using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Faded Jeans.  I adhered the canvas stars to the background paper with fabric glue, then I added some Stickles in Xmas Red and Star Dust.  The blue glitter I added was from Studio G.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you're enjoying our projects this month!
