It's always a load of laughs . . . .

The challenge this month for the Scrapbooking Challenge over at H2H is April Fool's . . . something funny and using twine.

 

Well if you've ever witnessed my family and I on vacation together for more than 5 minutes you'll know I had ample situations to meet the funny requirement. it was choosing just one that would be hard.

 

I finally settled on these pictures from San Fransisco if you look carefully at the photos you'll see my sister in the background of the 1st photo, then my Aunt, and myself take turns. So my son thought it would be funny to call this the amazing swapping Aunts.

 

 

Here is the link to see more Funny twine H2H.

 

For this layout I used Sweet leaf and Lagoon Cardstock and ink.  As well as gypsy and honey ink.  The Jubilee and Timberline paper packs. The dots and Chevron embossing folders. Glitter trim in gold and Lagoon.  Honey and lagoon Washi tape and last but not least Twine.

Getting sketchy with H2H and Color Dare

The color dare this week is the Arianna Paper Pack I immediately thought of this image from the Compliments package when I saw the sketch so this card came together in moments.

Once upon a time . . . .

Over at H2H the challenge is Once Upon a Time . . . . well with a teenage boy I do not have too many opportunities these days to scrap such a imaginative concept.  But wait it was like a fairytale to me when he finally liked a girl enough not only to go to the dance but even take a picture with her. So I pulled out my pictures and got scrappy.

 

I was over joyed when his friend said she was going to wear purple (my Fav) I knew the Laughing Lola Paper pack was what I would use.  I also used the Stamp of the month Balloon Talk perfect for these friends I also used sparkle flourishes with gypsy and lagoon inks.

Artbooking made easy: Togetherness

HE is RISEN !!!!!!

This is a banner that I made for this Holy Day and Celebration.  I pray that your faith is strengthened and that the remembrance of the sacrifice Christ made for you touches your heart in a fresh way today.

 

For this banner I used lots of ribbon I had picked up from the dollar bin at Micheal's.  I also used Sky, Lagoon, Smoothie, Honey, Gypsy, Sweet Leaf, Sunset cardstock and inks as well as White daisy cardstock.  Each egg shape and letters was cut out using my Art Philosophy Cartridge and then embossed using one of the 5 embossing folders CTMH carries.  I love this and plan to use this banner for many years to come.  One of the challenges over at H2H is a Cricut challenge so I project fits the bill nicely to be inspired by the other Cricut projects follow this link H2H

More Easter Candle holders

I just can't stop embellishing these little glass candle holders!!!! I think I like these better than the 1st set.  I think it's because they remind me of cracking eggs but I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that I love the ease of using washi and it's temporarily reposishonable !!!! So it's easy to smooth out any ripples or kinks.
