Pinewood Derby 2017

I’m cursing my way into 2017 in my son’s Scout album.

I used the following sketch from Cheryl at Even more scrapping

I really enjoyed changing the theme to make it work with my photos.  I even cut the back ground paper to get the blueprint images in the right spots.

Also did a bit of hand stitching to pull the layout together color scheme wise.  Otherwise the title would have been too bold

Last night  I finished another layout using sketch #cmvirtualcrop4.

I flipped the sketch and add a journal box instead of a photo but it still has the same basic feel.

Creative Memories virtual crop

I had grand plans for participating in CM virtual crop the weekend before last.  Was going to FaceTime with my friend Mary and knock out some layouts but life had other plans.  I ended up driving to San Francisco and back to retrieve my eldest from the Job Corp campus on Monday 3/16 and was back by late evening on 3/17.  With my new scrap room re occupied I curtailed my plans to scrap just on Saturday and not the Friday before.  Then Saturday morning I got the call/ text that Mary had past.  She finally succumbed to to her long battle with breast cancer.  So I still scraped but only one layout during the virtual crop.

I used “A year to remember” collection for this layout of my husband and son making art to better understand physical disabilities.  Added an extra photo to the layout but still has the overall feel of the sketch 

TSR throwback sketch challenge

I’m on a creative roll this weekend.  It helps to have amazing inspiration from the scrap room Facebook group.  I’m using the throwback challenge sketch for this layout.

The awesome thing about this layout is that all the larger pieces of paper were scraps 

that I pieced together then hid the seems with embellishments.  

All that’s left is to get my husband to do the journaling.  

TSR March color challenge

I’m playing along with the scrap rooms March color challenge. 

I used a black card stock base and mixed in orange and a slightly lighter blue than the one in the palette to create another layout for my son’s Boy Scout album.

Now to get in a few more challenges before the end of the month.  I should have plenty of time with an early start to Spring vacation
