Happiness at 21

My daughter celebrating on her 21st Birthday.



I created this slanted page for The Studio Challenges on June 28th 

Potato Salad

One of my favorite summer time sides.  I do make it all year long.  This page will go into my son's recipe book. 

I was inspired by the ARTastic Challenge June Challenge:

Our inspiration this month comes to you from Renee Farrant with My tree words worth.

CRITERIA - Let's focus on the words ...

You can do this via patterned paper, embellishments, a grand title, journaling, or a combination of them all!

Graduation Time

It's that time of year again when graduations take place.  They will be different this year during our COVID 19 with  social distancing.  So this card will be sent out and no party to go to.

I used the Feeling Sketchy #243 for my inspiration.  I turned the sketch and used the graduations hats instead of circles.

Summer Dreams

I had summer dreams in Spring 2019 while in Bermuda.  hubby and i went on a Cruise and enjoyed ever minute of it.

I created this page for this Summer Dreams Challenge at Challenge YOUrself:

Cookin' Up Creations Clue game continued.

Here are more Clue Game scrap challenges from Cookin' up Creations

Clue #3  My challenge for you today is to be inspired by Colonel Mustard and use yellow as the primary background color on your page! 

Clue #4  Your challenge today is Miss Scarlet. I picked her because she is my favorite color and so sophisticated. A prim and proper lady for her time. You can't possibly think that little ol me would be involved......right?

So take this sketch and create yourself a monochromatic layout using Red!

 

Clue #5  Today we are focusing on the hallways between Hill House Manor's rooms. Notice the tile pattern. Your challenge for today is to create a LO with a tile (grid) pattern. The size of and the number of tiles is up to you.

Clue #6  My challenge for you this week is to be inspired by the following Clue weapon -- the knife! So use either fussy cut or laser cut embellishments on your page! I used laser cut chipboard for my title in this example layout:

Clue #7  Since it's Monday we have a sketch for you with a twist. I'm wondering if the murder weapon could have been a lead pipe. So, on your layout you will need to use something metal. On my layout the butterflies are metal accents.

There are  more challenges to come so join the challenge if you dare.

Celebrate

I used Sketches in Thyme #425 to create my family birthday page.

Easy Chicken and stuffing

This recipe is an easy 1 dish with just 3 ingredients.  With Chicken, stove top stuffing and a jar of gravy

I used Sketch 413 from Sketches in Thyme

PB Frosting

Our favorite frosting.  It is so easy to make.

This layout was based on the June single page sketch from Stick it Down.

More Muddy Buddies

I used my photo of Muddy Buddies to create another recipe page so that both my kids have this recipe in their books

Challenges Used:

Sketches in Thyme Sketch #424

Cookin' Up Creations Tuesday Morning Challenge for June 9.   

Today's challenge is to honor the many colors and shapes the flowers take. You are to post a LO or 4 cards with dimensional flowers that you have created. They can be folded, layered, torn, painted and textured, etc. but they can not be flat or purchased . These flowers have to be originals from your own heart and mind. There are many tutorials online on how to create flowers if you need help. When you post your project, please share with us how you created your flower.

Tic Tac Toe

The challenge is Tic Tac Toe at The Studio Challenge on May 3.

I went across the middle using textured paste, Triangles, and washi tape.

What's For Dinner?

I love quiche.  I make it for dinner about once a month.  It is a great way to use up any leftover meat; as long as I have eggs.

I followed The Studio Challenge: May 31st shapes challenge.   

Shapes; today we have a little twist on our shape challenge, this time we have a small list of shapes to include in your layout. They are ...

3 squares, 2 circles and 1 triangle.
You can use them however you like, big or small etc as long as you include them somewhere in your layout.

So get your punches out or cut some shapes by hand to enter their scrap challenge.  LOs are due by July 15th. 

Cooking Up' Creations Clue Game

Today's Challenge: We are heading to the Game Room where all of our guests have gathered. Using the sketch create your LO using all of the colors of the game characters---Scarlett, Green, Mustard, Plum, Peacock, & White. There are 6 triangles and all colors must be represented in them--either one color per triangle or a combination of colors in each. Feel free to add more triangles to your sunburst, but they need to be the 6 colors of the characters.

Here is what I made:

.....................again.  I just love this saying on a card.  I also love sketches so I used the June card sketch from Stick it Down this time.
