Sketch and scrap

 

At Sketch and scrap there is this sketch. I used mostly my Counterfeit kit plus some extra cardstock on this layout. It features a walk we did in Puerto Vallarta. Part of it was climbing up 3 flights of stairs. I made it up one! My recent knee operation plus heart ablation made it impossible to go further.

Lasting Memories

 "Lasting Memories" Scrapbook Layout Challenges has a tic tac toe this time.

I went across the bottom row. Simple stories Hello Summer stickers, 3 patterned papers including a very old Bo Bunny half circle journal box cut from a whole sheet plus a border punch on the plaid paper.

This was Puerto Vallarta and a very hot day as we walked along the waterfront. 

Scraplifting Vicki

 

I have scraplifted Vicki's layout using mainly Counterfeit Kit items. I added a purple and yellow balloon paper as one of my layers.

There are also lots of Simple stories Hello Summer stickers on here as they're bright and colourful.

Soul scrappers This or That.

 

I chose to do the yellow side this time..

The only blue paper I had in my kits had carrots on it. (Oh well,something to amuse!).

My photo is of a skull celebrating the day of the dead in Mexico. I triple matted it.

Underneath that I used 3 more strips of patterned paper making a total of five. My die cuts are the red squares which I attached with brads. I used a 3rd green brad under the photo.I then put white corrugated card in the squares and added 2 printed chipboard "adventure" related.

Extra items I added were 2 sticker clouds, washi tape along the bottom and some small word stickers.

Freaky fast challenge plus one word challenge

 

Here's the May freaky fast formula at the Scrap room and at Soul Scrappers they have a one-word challenge using the letters P, E or G. AS I was putting this together, I realised EAT would be a great title as this was on the wall in the dining room of our cruise ship.

I finally used those brads I've had for 4 years too!

Now here's my layout. 

I'm also pleased I could use some of the ribbon lace I put in my kit.

INSD layouts

 My next layout is a scraplift of Laurie's Halloween layout at Counterfeit Kit.

I'm please because I recycled a corrugated card piece as one of my frames plus the circle under "enjoy" was a dress tag. The knife and fork were good to find a home for as well.

I used paler colours to emphasise the photo of course.

This next one is for Counterfeit Kit again. Some of the things on here are from my kit.

The cupcake paper is vellum.

Also I just discovered 

First 2 layouts

 My first layout for the new kit is this one.

I turned the sketch sideways to accommodate my landscape photos.

We recently went to the Royal Easter show and one of my favourite parts was the district exhibits where the farmers display their produce. These 2 photos show it well.

My second layout was for a challenge at Paper Issues.
