Helen

Tammy

Doreen

I do LOVE Fall...
As is evident by the Jack-O-Lantern scarf I'm wearing in my 6x8 Traditional Paper Layout- and nope I couldn't wait until October to start wearing it; Sept 27th, so close!

Stephanie

For my project, I decided to feature one of my favorite Halloween pictures of my daughter posing with her carved pumpkins.  As an added bonus, I used a spider web as my "fall garland."

Renee

For this challenge, I used my monthly overview page to do a fall spread with all things orange, pumpkin spice and warm fuzzies.

We can't wait to see what you create for your own project!  Thanks for stopping by everyone and happy crafting!

#432 Retro

 

Hey everyone!  We are taking a walk through the past for this new challenge.  Our theme is Retro.  Now if you are unfamiliar, retro means imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past.  Maybe for you, retro is out of the 60s or maybe its the 80s. It could be a pattern, it could be a theme etc.   This is a pretty broad challenge and we can't wait to see what you do with it!

Check out these cool projects from the DT!

DOREEN

So technically my layout isn't retro...yet!

But it will be someday! LOL

I was inspired by the music themed art to create this 

12x12 Traditional Paper layout about my current character obsession:

Ned from the Twenty-One Pilots "Chlorine" video.

Isn't he cute?!

I used a really old 12x12 PP, a really old sticker border and a few other old-ish 

items from my stash

Read more about my layout and my process on my blog. 

You can also watch the "Chlorine" video and see Ned in action! :)

Julene

We visited a retro store while on holidays.

Helen

For me retro means going back to the 1980s when I was a teenager.  Cassette tapes were seen as really modern then and the ultimate tape was a mix tape.  I've used a stamp from Visible Image plus some retro style backing paper to make my card - I still love listening to the songs from 1982!

#431 Back To School/Primary Colors

Let's see what the DT has created to inspire you this week!

Hamlet bobbing for raisins in his pool.

My way of helping him cool off.

I also sprayed him w/ the hose, which is not something he would let

me do if he wasn't otherwise occupied w/ food.

I have used a topper from Making Cards magazine to make my card.  It reminds me of a village in Cornwall and childhood holidays spent with my grandparents.

#428 Inspired by Real Life

 

So today's challenge is a bit of a challenge!  Our theme is INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE.    We want you create a project that is inspired by something in your life...maybe a person, a place, a thing, an event, a hobby ...something that's important to your life!

Here's what the DT has created to get you started!

Stephanie:  

I was inspired by my daughter's current "real life" situation as an intern in Washington DC.  She is living her best life in this picture, and I wanted to capture it for this project.

Dawn

I am inspired to try to capture as many LOVE signs 

as we possibly can with our Granddaughters.

Let the adventures begin 

Julene

I was inspired by when we built out house.Much of it was done by my husband and his boss so we could save money.This layout shows them working.
