By The Sea

Hello!   Over at "We Love Vintage Challengeblog" 
 http://wlvc.blogspot.nl/2016/07/challenge-72-en-random-winnaar-71.html  they are having a challenge this month with the theme of Sun/Sea/Beach.  Of course your card or creation should be Vintage.   
 I made this card for a very kind person who is moving to Florida to let her know that she will be missed!  
  
Here is my vintage card.  I used Graphic 45  "By The Sea"  paper collection!  Love them!   Did a lot of fussy cutting and used many dimensional dots.

Here are some close-ups

Winter in July

Hi!  

 Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  Hot or cold!

I am starting out this month with inspiration from two challenges.  First is the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy by Brenshevia

 and  the Winter theme of my layout comes from Pixels and Paper.  A blog with challenges  from Australia where July marks the mid point for their winter.  

Hence my blog title "Winter in July"!

The photo on my layout is of my Son, Sky when he was around 7 years old.  He would skate on the pond in front of our home in New Hampshire for hours.  He just loved skating!!    Living in the south now he really does miss the snow and ice.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Remembering

Hello! 
 It has been awhile.  
       This week's inspirations came from two challenges.  First from Brenshevia's  sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy.   The other was from  ARTastic Challenge Blog.  Where they are working with the amazing artwork by Josh Miels called We will remember them.  The CRITERIA is to use TYPOGRAPHY on our work.
Making this week's layout has been very emotional.  Four years ago this week my Father died and the letter I placed on my layout was found in an old book I had purchased around the same time.  I was going through some other books when I came across  this one and when I went to look in it, it opened to the page with this letter from Dad to his Dearest Daughter.  (page 119).  There was also on the opposite page a letter from Mother to her Dearest Daughter.  I read them both and felt my Daddy and Mommy were sending me a message to comfort me.  To let me know they were together again. We are never too old to need comfort from our loved ones.

March's First Challenge

Hello!
Let's Get Sketchy's March Week 1 sketch designed by Brenshevia was one of my inspirations for this layout.  
Triangles are going to be used in some form all month long over at LGS.   
What fun! 
The other inspiration was over at Scrap Our Stash 's March  Book Challenge. 
      The Challenge:

Create a layout inspired by the BOOK COVER.. 

You are allowed to use anything from the cover that inspires you,

for instance, the banner, the colors, title, etc.

AND...you must include GOLD embellishments and/or GOLD alphas
on your layout!

The photo on the layout is of my daughter, Ashley,  on our family vacation to Bald Head Island.  
A very beautiful place!

All You Need is Love & a Dog

Hello!

This week's layout was inspired by Let's Get Sketchy February Week 5's Challenge designed by Brenshevia .   
I  also was inspired by the  ARTastic  Challenge for March.  They are featuring a really quirky artwork on wood veneer by                           Mia Taninaka called,  "Oh The Wise One".  
These two challenges were really a lot of fun!  Thank you for all your inspiration!

Also the bone (doggy).
