April 1, 2017 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 2 Comments

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of April. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Creative Embellishments and Lindy’s Stamp Gang.

The story

Isn’t this a darling picture of my brother and me? We are posing in our back yard after coming home from Sunday morning Mass in May 1974. Just so sweet.

Product/technique notes

The papers are from the Dear Lizzy Lovely Day collection. The tag is from We R Memory Keepers. And I created the string art heart with the help of my Silhouette to cut out the tiny stitching circles.

Sweet dreams are made of this

The story

Mom’s sweet tooth is epic. I remember when we were kids we would catch her eating a couple of cookies first thing in the morning to tide her over until breakfast (cereal). And I would say that her love of sugary stuff has only grown over the years, if that’s possible.

Thanks to my bro for snapping this photo of Mom at McDonald’s last March so I could document her sweet nature. 😉

Product/technique notes

Patterned papers are from Authentique and American Crafts.

Sweet summer fun: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of March. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Charms Creations and Wycinanka.

The story

Mom, Phil, and I loved driving out to the Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Ohio, to pick strawberries. We would head out early on a summer morning and pick way too many, then take them home and turn most of them into freezer jam to enjoy for the rest of the year. We also piled them on cereal and shortcake and anything else we could think of. It was such a sweet way to spend a summer day.

Product/technique notes

The background paper I used is from an old My Mind’s Eye collection called Good Day Sunshine. The rest of the patterns are from the Mulberry American Crafts 6×6 paper pad. The chipboard embellishments are from the same collection. I cut the title on my Silhouette Cameo.

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of March. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Accent Scrapbooking and Crafty Ribbons.

The story

Our family flew out to California in the summer of 1976 to visit my maternal grandparents and aunt and uncle. I was 9 years old, so days like the one we spent at Disneyland really stand out in my memory of that family vacation.

File this under magic.

Product/technique notes

All the patterned papers I used were from the Simple Stories Say Cheese II collection.

Our sweet little Lucy has the most amazing bright green eyes. When I snapped this March 2016 photo, I immediately knew I would scrap it.

We love you so, Lucy Lou.

Product/technique notes

All the patterned papers I used were from the Crate Paper Bloom collection. The title is a Silhouette cut file that I modified. The brads are by BasicGrey, the puffy hearts are by Pebbles, and the sequins are by Darice.
