Papaw's Pumpkin

I hope you've had a great Saturday!  I finally had time over the past week or so to make some layouts in my craft room, so I thought I would share one with you tonight.  I found this sketch at Let's Get Sketchy:

I've had some "older" photos on my scrap desk for quite a while and decided I would use one to go along with this sketch.

The sketch didn't have a designated place for journaling, so I decided to do my journaling around the edges of the patterned paper pieces.

Magazine Mondays--Week 168

I made this layout for the January 24-Hour Challenge in the Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' Yahoo group, then I realized that it would also work for the Magazine Mondays--Week 168 challenge at PaperCrafter's Corner!  Here's the inspiration piece from PaperCrafter's Corner:

My inspiration was from the title on the inspiration piece--"Travel."

I LOVE to travel!!!  I'd always wanted to visit London, and I got the opportunity in June of 2005 when I escorted a group of students to six European countries.  The photos on this layout are of St. James's Palace and one of the guards on duty.

Supplies Used

~Bo Bunny Weekend Market collection

~Cardstock from stash

~Queen & Co. rhinestones in Sunflower Yellow

Munich

When I saw the Magazine Mondays Challenge for Week 161 at PaperCrafter's Corner, I knew I HAD to enter!  Here's the inspiration for the challenge:

I used this sketch, which is the September Sketch Challenge in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin':

I think the sketch is originally from PageMaps, but it's one I've had saved for quite a while.  Here's my take on the sketch and entry for the challenge:

 

I had the opportunity to visit Munich--just overnight--in 2005, so I knew I had the perfect picture for this challenge.

World Travellers

Welcome back for LOAD2!  Today's prompt dealt with transportation, specifically planes.  I chose to use a picture of the student group I took to Europe in 2005.  This was the last group photo taken of us before we left Europe, as we wanted a group photo with our tour guide, so this was taken at the airport in Munich, Germany.

I used the sketch from the February Sketch Challenge in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin'.

I had such a great time on this trip (Well, except for the trip to the emergency room in Paris.)!  It was wonderful to be able to travel with this wonderful group of young women and give them the opportunity to experience other countries and cultures they may never be able to see again.
