Best Friends

 Another layout of my cats!  They do such funny and sweet things!  I used a sketch from Rochelle Spears as inspiration and did the tic tac toe from Scrap with Stacy (chipboard, stars, and paint splatters).

Her Spot

 I love scrapbooking my cats and the funny things they do!  While I am in my scrapbook room, Allie would always sit and lay on the back of my chair.  I don't know how she keep her balance up there, but she did.   I used a sketch from Scrap our Stash as inspiration and we were also to use red, white, and blue.  Even though the colors are a bit muted, the flowers are red, white, and blue.

Yarn!

I love it that when my mom was working on her loom, my cat wanted to play with the yarn.  It was funny to watch.  I used a sketch from Rochelle Spears as inspiration for this layout.   I also did the tic tac toe challenge from Scrap with Stacy ( I used metal, stickers, and circles).  Love the challenges, it helps me to stay motivated to do layouts!

I love water

 I used a sketch as inspiration from Scrap Our Stash (I rotated the sketch to fit my photos).  We were also to use tabs (there's two of the on the top on the pictures on right), tags (the yellow heart is a tag), and creative title ( I used a bare chipboard heart, covered it with patterned paper and placed a sticker on top of it).  

I am almost done with my layouts from 2020!!!!

Endless Summer

 I used a sketch from Rochelle Spears as inspiration.  However, as I started working with my pictures and supplies, the layout started to take a side-ways turn from the sketch.  I used it as inspiration and got a layout done, so I guess that is the point!  I also joined in on the tic tac toe challenge from Scrap with Stacy.  I did the diagonal of banner piece, circle, and brads.  Thanks again ladies for the motivation!!!!

# crab legs

 I was not sure what I was going to do with these two pics of my son eating crab legs for the first time.  However, once I saw the sketch from Rochelle Spears, the layout came together.  I also did the March tic tac toe challenge from Scrap with Stacy (I completed the middle column and the last row).  I appreciate everyone's scrapbook challenges to keep me going!!!

Boys Rule

 A quick layout of my two nephews.  Used a sketch from Scrap our Stash as inspiration and we were to use stars.  I used some really old stickers (2013) which is always a win in my book!!!!

Dracula

 I finished this two page layout today of my son's one and only play he did in high school.  For some reason I really struggled with completing this layout.  It is not one of my favorite layouts, but it is done. I cut out Dracula, the coffin, and the dripping blood on my cricut.

Fall

 Here's my layout for today.  I used a sketch and stash challenge from Scrap Our Stash as inspiration.  In addition to using the sketch, we had to include hearts on the layout.

Happy Winter

 Here's a layout I finished today.  It all came together rather quickly.  I used inspiration from a February Sketch Challenge from Rochelle Spears.  I also participated in the Scrappy Friends Tic Tac Toe challenge. I used brads, stickers, and staples.

Throwback

 Here is a layout I completed while I was helping my son with his college homework.  The layout came together super easy.  Used a cut file and besides the base paper, the rest is scraps!  Trying to use up what I have!

 Baked Caesar Chicken

4 chicken breast, boneless/skinless (3/4-1 inch thickness)

1 cup Caesar salad dressing

1/2 cup sour cream

1-1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese grated

ground pepper

-Heat oven to 375° and spray an 8x11 dish with cooking spray

-Sprinkle chicken with pepper and half of cheese and place them in the dish

-Mix together the dressing and sour cream. Pour mixture over chicken and sprinkle remaining cheese on top

-Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until middle of chicken is 165°

-Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving

This recipe was super fast to put together and it tasted great!  We have had it a couple of times now.  I served it with a vegetable and biscuits.  It made great leftovers, too.

Happy

 Here is today's layout.  I decided to do more current (at least for me) pictures.  This is from Easter 2022.  I used a sketch from a challenge on Rediscover Your Stash as inspiration.

Into The Woods

 I really don't like doing 2 page layouts, but I had a lot of pictures I wanted to include of Devon's first musical performance in high school.  When he went in for the audition, he told them he didn't want a big part since this was his first time.  But directors thought differently and gave him the main lead, The Baker.  Devon did an outstanding job.  He even did all the shows when he wasn't feel well because of a cold.  These pictures are from 2019.
