LM,#752- Woodworking

So excited to be able to sneak in a last-minute layout for Lasting Memories Tic -tac-toe challenge #752

I used the center row of chipboard, circle, and rhinestones.  For the last retreat I attended, I only took scraps to use in building my layouts.  I've had these circles in my stash for a while and am glad to have been able to use them. I also used a stamp to create the flourishes and fussy cut them out. I thought about using my chip board for this, but it's too thick to cut that intricately.  Instead, I backed some of the circles with chipboard to give them dimension. Lastly, I  added a few rhinestones for some color.

Tree Life

This past weekend I attend a retreat and went old school.  Just paper, embellishment and tools on hand.  I challenged my self to creating layouts with just scraps and ephemera not in kits.  Other than the Boy Scout specific paper.  I’ve had those pads in my collection since my son’s Cub Scout years and now he’s working on his Eagle Project.  Actually this whole weekend was dedicated to nothing but scout layouts. I’m almost up to 2024 and got the pocket pages done for the Switzerland trip.

No challenges or sketches on this one.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

 

Sketch and scrap

It's Sketch-n-scrap's 13th Birthday, and I'm playing with the second challenge.

I used 4 photos as I cropped them smaller than the sketch.

Good times

 So excited to have my first layout done with just scraps. I used the sketch from  April Sketch and Scrap challenge.

Love how it turned out.  Even managed to break out my stamps.  Thanks for stopping by.

Using scraps

 It’s been a while since I last shared and I’ll be honest scraping hasn’t been on the radar with the start of spring gardening.  I’ve been in major clean up mode as we have been culling the random remains of out buildings, farm implements and such.  So in the endeavor to clear things out I’ve only brought scraps and ephemera not in kits to the retreat.
