Lori provided us with a pagemaps sketch.
My recycled item is my buttons that were cut off of a
discarded shirt.

I hope Lori will allow last years pic. Just no getting out this week.
This is a state park a few miles from us where we go to take our
walk at night.

Hop To It challenge #8

Today's challenge comes with two parts:

So, dig out the first page you did and find something on it that inspires you to create another layout;

I really don't know which was first, but here is one from my first book.
See those holes? I punched holes in my pages, and put them in a magnetic album. GASP!!! So, what inspired me from this page? NOTHING! I took my
inspiration from fun characters. My son and daughter were so excited to meet Ronald McDonald.

Part two of the challenge:

Now, if by chance the physical layout of your, well, layout isn't the inspiration your taking, here's a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays to help you move forward.

My layout is from a visit to Sea World, using the sketch.

Hop To It challenge #7

Today's challenge is: pair up some of your oldest photos with some of your newest kits/papers. And we have a pagemaps sketch to work with.

We have a challenge at Apron Strings using a sketch from Julie Bonner.
Here's my layout from our Alaska trip using Cosmo Crickett.

Easter Card

Here's a card I did for my grown son, Joe. I wanted something not so cutesy.
These bunnies really suit his personality. And the color scheme,
well, I colored the stamp first, then picked colors to coordinate.
Thanks for looking!
