Ashley Graduates

Ashley's graduation was so much fun.  Family came in to help her celebrate.  I saw the challenge for Sketchy Thursdays and new I had to use the graduation  picture I had taken for this layout.  I, obviously, chose to use the school  colors for the page.  Hard to believe that 18 years has come and gone...but now it is off to  college classes for Ashley.  She is planning to major in Early Childhood education. 

•  Wishing Ashley a great career ahead of her...and looking forward to watching her blossom into a young adult

Cards June 2010

This ia a Father's Day card.  I enjoyed putting the colors together and trying to use the vellum in a way that would not be noticable.  I will hand deliver this next week.

Tribute to a wonderful young lady

-Using the Sketchy Thursday's layout and the color prompt from taking a personality test, (that claims my color is red),  this is what I came up with. 
-This is on my oldest daughters wedding day.  Her colors were red and white, so I felt this would be appropriate for the "red" prompt as well.
- She is also the one who made the "button flower" I placed in the lower left next to the picture. 
-She is so talented and so bright.  This page is a tribute to the wonderful young lady she has become.

Been a while...getting back into the crafty thing now that I have more time

Diana Fisher suggested we play along with the Paper Tree House prompt for making a birthday card.  They issued a challenge to fashion a card after a card they had seen in Target.   This has been created for my 82 year old mother for her birthday.  I will hand deliver the card in just about a week.  Can't wait to take a vacation to see her and my family.  Happy Crafting !!!!

BOM - First Letter of your last name

I used the Sketchy Thursday Sketch and the prompt from the "Book of Me" at Creative Scrapbooking Diva's.  I love the blue print paper...one of my all time faves, so it was easy to come up with coordinating colors.  Lori, from the BOM had us use the first letter of our first name and add embellishments to accent.  Then she wanted us to combine words or phrases to describe ourselves.   It was easy to embellish, since Sketchy Thursdays suggests embellishment placement already.  

Sketchy Thursdays-BOM 2

This page is the second in a series for the Book of Me challenge on the Creative Scrapbooking Divas.  I was celebrating my second birthday.  The challenge requested that we are under 4 years of age for this page. 
I combined the challenge with the Sketchy Thursdays sketch.  The picture I have worked perfectly.  I was concerned about using a black and white photo in a scrapbook page, but this seemed to work...especially since the sketch allowed me to keep it simple.
