Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of June! Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from The ScrapRoom and Crafty Ribbons.

The story

Recently we decided to donate to public radio because of the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts to…everything except the military and the US/Mexico border wall. For our donor gift they enrolled us in the KUTX Concert Club. So now we get invited to occasional concerts in their live recording studio. This was the first one we were able to make it downtown for—Matthew Logan Vasquez. What a nice evening out for a Monday!

Product/technique notes

The background papers are from the Dear Lizzy Lovely Day collection, and the others patterns and die cuts are from the Amy Tangerine Better Together 6×6 paper pad. The yellow alphas in the title and the XO journaling card are by Jillibean Soup.

The story

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I chose to scrap this Mother’s Day photo from 1984. We were visiting our grandparents in Pennsylvania for the holiday weekend, and Aunt Nancy, one of Nana’s sisters, came by for a visit. Even while Phil and I were in high school, I always loved to go for a visit with Nana and Papa.

Product/technique notes

I used the Like a Girl collection from Photo Play Paper for everything on this page except the teal glitter hearts and X, which are by Thickers.

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 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.
