April Sketches in Thyme Reveal Sketch #271

Today I am sharing this fabulous sketch by Brenshevia and my take on the sketch.  I used a chevron cut file and backed them with a piece of pretty Pink Paislee patterned paper.  These lovelies are my granddaughter, Paige and her cheer buddies.

A Cherry on Top April Challenge

This month the ACOT hostesses decided to play an April Fool's joke on the members and switch the challenges we normally host.  So instead of the Manufacturer Challenge, I am hosting the Cherry Lift Challenge.  I decided to lift the fabulous StacyLee who normally hosts the Cherry Lift Challenge. I used lots of Fancy Pants and Prima.

Here is my layout:

 

And this is Stacy's layout that I lifted.:

Sketches in Thyme Sketch #267 Reveal

Today my layout is revealed on Sketches in Thyme.  This is a fantastic sketch by Shawn Lahr and I hand stitched a heart and used some fun Fancy Pants Sweet Nothings embellishments.  I hope all my scrappy friends come over to the Sketches in Thyme blog and play along.

March A Cherry on Top Manufacturer Challenge

This month one of the Cherries requested the letter B - so I chose to use a beautiful collection from Bo Bunny.  The photo is of me and my granddaughter, Emma at Easter a few years ago. I hope my scrappy friends come join me at ACOT for a chance to win a GC from me!

February A Cherry on Top Manufacturer Challenge

I host a monthly Manufacturer Challenge on ACOT. This month the challenge is to use a manufacturer that starts with the letter E. I used several collections from Echo Park for my sample this month.

A Cherry on Top February 2017 Guest Designer

I was so thrilled when Heidi from ACOT asked me to be the Guest Designer for February.  I chose to use Fancy Pants new collection Sweet Nothings. I was asked to create five layouts/challenges and these are what I came up with:

Challenge #1 Someone you Love

Challenge #2 Something you Love

Challenge #3 Someplace you Love

 

Challenge #4 Love Yourself

 



Challenge #5 Sketch Challenge

I used a sketch I found on Pinterest by Sandy Liles.

Retirement - YAY!!

I finally retired from my former company, Archway Marketing and my last day was December 29, 2016.  My co-workers threw me a retirement luncheon and this was a photo taken during the festivities.  This Fancy Pants Joy Parade collection was absolutely PERFECT.
