Use an older Christmas collection

Since I've found my MOJO I decided to participate in some challenges over at Creative Inspiration.  I completed this layout for the 12/5/19 Thursday Stash Challenge; use an older Christmas collection to create your project.  I did a mix and match of old paper collections and embellishments ... I don't even remember who the manufactures are?

C I June Mini Crop Challenge - Punches

I created this layout for the June Mini Crop Challenge over at Creative Inspiration.  The challenge was to use punches on your project.  I'll confess that I have a LOT of punches and have not used them in a very long time.  This challenge inspired me to get them out.  Be sure to visit the site and be inspired by the design team and the challenges this month.

June Mini Crop Challenge

I have a challenge up at Creative Inspiration for the June Mini Crop.

Layering adds texture and depth to your scrapbooking page without using any special tools or supplies.  Layering paper can help you incorporate new colors and patterns into your pages and designs.  It will direct the eye of your reader towards your focal point.  Layering paper can complement your subject matter and contribute to the overall theme and design of your project.  And as a bonus, it helps you use up all those little paper scraps and bits and bobs that you're hoarding ... I mean saving.  My challenge is for you to create a layout or card and use the layering technique.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.  You have till June 30th to play along.  Be sure to check out the rest of thechallenges.

SUMMER

Creative Inspiration June Sketch Challenge

 

 

Hello, my name is Joan and I'm enjoying every minute of retirement with my husband Randy. God and my faith are priorities in my life and I am active in my church. I live in a rural community with our closest neighbor being about a 1/2 mile away. I love spending time at our rural sanctuary, reading on the deck, eating meals outside and spending evenings at our fire pit.  There is nothing like country life.  Being physically fit is important to me (I might be considered a gym rat) and I consider my health one of my greatest treasures.  I enjoy shooting a variety of guns and shooting trap has become a favorite. In the past 30 years I have been on several design teams and enjoyed scrapbooking and paper crafting.  Life keeps you busy, our 3 children, 13 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren are a lot to keep up with.  Since retirement crafting has taken somewhat of a backseat to all the new and fun things I have become involved in.  I'm so excited!   During the month of June I'm a guest designer at Creative Inspiration. Bev has provided us with a fun sketch to work with this month.  Be sure to check out what the other projects from the Design Team.  Hope you can play along with the Sketch Challenge.

My Take 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thursday Stash Challenge

Although I have been in my craft room working of craft projects I have not completed a scrapbooking layout in months.  So today I set some time aside and worked on the Thursday Stash Challenge over at Creative Inspiration.

I completed two layouts using up embellishments that have been in my stash for years ... so long that I can't even remember how old they are.

And I will say that it feels good to be working on layouts again.
