I have finished some more un-circle journal layouts. Only one to go! Then I'd like to do a bunch of cards for Operation Write Home. It just seems like I run out of time. I'm sure that's the story of most peoples lives, though. Anyway, here they are:
Until next time...
I'm involved in an Un-Circle Journal swap with Wisconsin Scrappers right now and have been working on those layouts. I've completed 4 out of 8 so far. Here they are:
Wow, it's been way too long since I've worked on this blog... I haven't quit scrapping or cardmaking, but just haven't taken the time to maintain. I joined Facebook a while back and kind of got obsessed with it for a while and lost interest in my blog. I got a new job, too, so that has taken away some of my time. But, I love my new job, so it's not all bad! I now have the bug to update here. So, here's a couple layouts I've done in the last several months.
My friend, Sue, recently passed away. Sue was an example of what it meant to really love the Lord. I mean, REALLY love the Lord with your whole heart. The video I've attached here I believe was made by her daughter and it is so beautiful. We all miss you, Sue.

My niece told me today how much she liked my blog, so I thought maybe I'd better do a little updating of it! I haven't kept it up much lately. My family and I have had some medical issues to deal with the last couple months or so, but things have settled down a bit now. At least for a while, anyway.
So here are some of the projects I've done since the last time I've posted. Hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I've enjoyed creating them!
This was created for the WiScrappers design team. Our challenge was a color challenge to use orange and black. I wanted to create something other than Halloween, so, for me, Harley themed was the obvious choice! This layout is a photo of me, my friend, Heidi, and her mom, Helen. We, as in, me, Gary, Heidi, Wayne (Heidi's hubby), Helen and Lynn (Wayne's brother) went Harley riding on this glorious fall day this past September. The weather was perfect! We traveled to Michigan for a pig roast. Oh, did I mention that Helen is 92 years old?! I love this lady! She is sharp as a tack, very charming and sweet and incredibily witty. I can't wait to see her again next summer!
The following layout I created for WiScrapper design team. I had to follow a sketch for this one.Here's the sketch I had to use followed by the layout I came up with. When I acquired the safari themed paper in a paper pack, I wondered what on earth I would ever use it for, but I think it worked terrific for this layout. I stamped the harlequin pattern on cardstock with Versamark for a watermark look. I absolutely love mixing patterned papers, too.
Here's a card sketch designed by WiScrapper design team member, Kim, that I had to use for a blog challenge. Here's my take on the sketch. When I first saw the sketch, it made me (and other DT members, too) think of a bowling ball! Anyway, here's my interpretation of the sketch.
The following card was a product challenge for the design team on WiScrappers. The product we were required to use was stickers. I'm really glad Melissa challenged us to use stickers because I have a ton of stickers from when I first started scrapbooking. Now I'm on fire to look for different and innovative ways to use up these stickers I have stockpiled! I've always avoided them, as I like dimensional scrapping and don't care too much for flat. For this card I adhered the sticker to cardstock, cut it out and used foam dots to raise it up and add dimension.
Make sure you visit the WiScrappers blog to see what the other design team members have created!
Until next time...
Here's a couple layouts I completed this past weekend for my WiScrappers design team assignments.
