The Scrapbook Cottage’s Challenge #6 "Camp Birthdays"

So many layouts so little time! 

Here is my layout and my card for The Scrapbook Cottage’s challenge. 

These photos are from my oldest daughter Ashleys and my birthday.  Our birthdays are 2 days apart in July and we celebrate them up at our cottages. 

I found this paper in my stash and thought it was perfect for this sketch. 

Sharon actually fussy cut her flowers from floral paper. At first I was going to use die cut flowers, but when I came across this floral paper I figured it went perfectly. 

When I see a sheet or two of paper I really like, I try to make a mini kit with it right there at the store. 

I want to say I picked this apart up at Archivers (I sure miss that store, it was the highlight of our trips to the States). 

The floral paper had a diamond patten paper that matched, so I bought them both (2 of each sheet!) and also the cardstock to coordinate. 

I then tore the diamond pattern paper to layer on the floral paper. 

On the second page I flipped the floral paper for interest. 

Here is my card with these left over papers. 

Here are the sketches I followed. 

I really had such a great time during this virtual crop...I would love to go to one of The Scrapbook Cottages in person events as this one was so much fun!

Thank you Sharon, Kathy and team for making these days so much more enjoyable.

The Scrapbook Cottage’s Challenge #4 "Young Love"

Here is the 4th layouts and card challenges I completed for the online event that the Scrapbook Cottage put on. 

If you read my past posts on these, you will know how much fun I had!! 

These photos are of my youngest daughter Kristy and her boyfriend, of  over 10 years, Blake. 

I fussy cut these beautiful butterflies from this gorgeous paper collection. 

I have to thank my friend/table mate (from a couple of years ago) Julie for this paper. She was going to discard it (I was flabbergasted when she told me that!) as these were her discarded pieces from a mini album she was working on. 

I also fussy cut this flower cluster from the papers. 

I was debating on adding journaling to this layout. 

The photos and papers are so beautiful and don’t want to take away from them. 

My oldest daughter, Ashley, is a photographer, so Kristy and Blake are used for her models quite a bit. Lol. 

There was a card sketch as well. 

Here is my take on the card! 

I used my stampinUp tag punch for the top of this handmade tag. 

This is an old paperback (go me for using my stash!). 

Here are the sketches we used for the challenges. 

Thank you again Sharon and Kathy for putting on such a fun filled, jam packed virtual event! 

I hope you are all safe and well and having a creative day.
