Saturday creations

I hope my old friend Margaret is reading this post, because I used a piece of paper that she sent me a couple of years ago. I had ordered some stuff from her (sorry, I don't remember the name of the company) and she gave me a paper pack free. Although I loved the products she sold, I really thought the paper pack had some of the most hideous paper EVER! Course, ya got it keep it around, just in case. LOL Well, lo and behold, the pink and white paper behind the transparency was the perfect color for this photo of Peyton! So, thank you Margaret! :-) And turns out after looking through the pack, some of the paper isn't so hideous after all. I've added it to the mainstream paper population. LOL This layout is another one for her toddler to teen album.



Carrie, the owner of Scrapdango, is having a non advertised crop today and one of her challenges is to make an ATC card. Of course I had already finished my YITL card from yesterday, so I made another one as a personal reminder to me. :-D If you're not a member yet, come on over and check it out. Carrie is the most funnest, most nicest person you'll meet online. She never gets mad at me for my silliness. :-P

YITL challenge #22

YELLOW

Please post the link to your card so that we can see your creation! :-)

This one was a no brainer for me! As soon as I saw the word last week, I knew what I had to do! :-D It's more yellow than it looks, the lighting was really yucky, but you get the idea. LOL

FREEDOM!

Would it be bad to say that I don't really have memories of my childhood? Other than the time I broke my toe diving off the side of the pool. I was about 12. Yep, THAT made a huge impression. As the doctors in ER were setting my toe, I thought they were removing my toe by pulling it off. LOL Gee, there must be SOMEthing I remember... nope, I've thought about it and I seriously can't remember doing much of anything.

I asked my 19 year old how SHE thought summers differ for her than when I was a kid. I thought she summed it up pretty well... FREEDOM. Lack of schedule. Easy. Swimming. Then she added, "yea, sure we have technology now..." :-/ I told her, we had dishwashers back in my day. LOL

It made both of us a little sad when we talked about her current summer, which started less than a month ago. She's working a full time job, using both her marketing major and her spanish minor, and taking 3 online classes. I think she's the smartest 19 year old EVER. :-)

Blog challenge # 22

Write about something you did during summer that kids today-for better or for worse-probably don't do anymore.

Ahhh, nice and quiet!

I woke up early today to get the things done that I needed to so that I could play the rest of the day. Here are just a couple of quick and simple layouts that I did, including a sketch by Julie at 52 sketches.





Have a scrappy day and I'll see you tomorrow with the next blog challenge! :-)
