Crab Boil

 

I used the sketch for August from "ROCHELLE SPEARS BLOG"    for this layout,  got to use up a lot of small scrap pieces of paper, everything but my background paper.

I then combined it with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at "SCRAP WITH STACY"   for August.  I actually got  three tic-tac-toes, diagonal top left to bottom right 4 or more patterned papers, circle and wood, then  the diagonal bottom left to top right,  2 photos, circle and plaid and finally left column down, 4 or more patterned papers, tag, 2 photos.

Destination Galveston

 I made this layout for Challenge #761  at  "LASTING MEMORIES"  = Favorite Things: Topics

My favorite thing is Road Trips and Cruises.  Cruises I do with my husband, but Road Trips are usually with my brother, this is one we took in April to Galveston for a National Mustang event.

Christmas 2007

 

I'm still working on old Christmas pictures I found, these are from 2007.   I took my Grandson home with me to feed our kitten and we got to hang out together some and give Mom and Dad some free time.    He was such a cutie and fast forward to present time, yesterday he turned 19 years old.   He was 17 months old here.

I'm still working with the July challenges at "LASTING MEMORIES"  this is for challenge #760 and my favorite brand.    I used all Echo Park papers here from a collection call Home For Christmas.   Echo Park has been my go to paper lately and I buy the majority of my papers from them.

Christmas Dinner Prep

 I just posted another layout I made today from photos I found from Christmas 2005 for a challenge at   "LASTING MEMORIES"  and then I made this second layout with the old holiday photos I had found to use with their challenge #759.  Favorite embellishments, my favorite embellishments lately have been wood veneer.   I've always liked them and then I found Temu and you couldn't beat the price there so I have stocked up with so many fun wood veneer pieces   So for this layout my title and all embellishments are wood veneer.    

(Oh as I was getting ready to publish this post, I saw that I had written with my white gel pen Dinner Prep 2025 above one picture, it was easy to go back and correct it read 2005.  But I didn't take a new picture)

LM #759 - Jill's Favorites: Embellishments

Christmas 2005

 

The last week or so  I was looking through some boxes of old photos trying to find a certain one.  In one I found clipped together some groups of old Christmas photos so I set them aside to use them.   I keep all my Christmas layouts in Chronological order in Red 3 ring albums.  I have a whole shelf plus of them now full.   So today I pulled out the album that had 2005 layouts in it to look to see if I had already used any of the pictures I had found.   Only one had been used before.   I must have planned on using these as I had printed them myself back in the day 3x4 size.    I knew I wanted to use the challenge # 758 to scrap your favorite holiday at  "LASTING MEMORIES"    It's obvious I love Christmas and scrapping Christmas with as many albums I have of the holidays.

What a fun challenge this month at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"  #139.      The Then and Now Challenge.    These are pictures of me, first in 1988 and then just a couple of weeks ago in 2025.

Presents

 

I'm adding this layout to the "LASTING MEMORIES" first challenge for July.    One of my favorite tools to use is my White Gel Pen.   I feel journaling in white whenever I can  because I think it makes the words really pop off the page.
