Challenge YOUrself #86 Celebrate "LOVE" February Challenge

Hi everyone!  Happy February!  I truly hope you and your family are doing well.  It is time for this month's Challenge over at the Challenge YOUrself Blog!  This month - we encourage you to Celebrate LOVE! - and remember to include YOUrself in one of your photos!

Here is my Design Team inspiration layout for you:

I made this layout using lots of stuff from Vicki Boutin's "Storyteller" Collection from the My Little Scrapbook Store, and a photo from my birthday dinner, with my hubby, (and our family,) at our favorite Chinese restaurant back in 2017 -All things that I LOVE.  We always have a great dinner there and look forward to indoor restaurant dining again someday...

I got back into using my sprays- new and old and had fun getting my “mixed media” mojo back in the groove! I also enjoy “fussy cutting” some people are not fans of it - but I find it so relaxing and love how it enhances my layouts! What about you? Do you enjoy fussy cutting?

Here are some close-ups and a few photos of when I sprayed the base page before assembling for you:

I am also entering this layout in the My Little Scrapbook Store Winter Wonderland Crop Mixed Media Challenge #10

I hope you find some time to play along with us at the Challenge YOUrself BLOG this month!  I look forward to seeing what YOU create!

My Little Scrapbook Store - February "L-O-V-E" Challenge

Hello everyone - I want to share my Design Team Inspiration layout for the My Little Scrapbook Store's February monthly challenge - 

Here are the rules and all the info you need about the challenge - Be sure to join us over on the My Little Scrapbook Store's Facebook page to add you entry and to check out all of the great inspiration the rest of the Design Team will be sharing!

My layout is about my oldest son Nick. We took a trip to the Lake George area for a family vacation with my parents in November - we were supposed to be on a cruise to Bermuda that week - but Covid had other plans.  Instead we rented a beautiful log home on a calm river, and Nick decided to take out one of the canoes they had for us to use.  Of course I LOVE him and I am so proud of him and the wonderful man he has become!

For the challenge letters - I used:

L - Leaves, Layering, Leafy Stencil

O - Orange  (Cardstock, Paper Glaze and Spray)

V- Vines (cut with my Cricut)

E - Enamel Dots and English Ivy Spray

Here are some close ups  - I used the Ranger Dina Wakley Media Stencil "Leafy" on the base page, with Picket Fence "Marigold Orange" Paper Glaze

I hope you find time to play along with us at the Facebook Group, and have some fun doing some shopping at the My Little Scrapbook Store, -  I can't wait to see what you create!
