Everything is better with COFFEE - as long as it's Starbucks!

 Hi Scrappy Peeps - I decided to play along with my good friends at the Scrap Our Stash Blog - and enter their "April Wheel of Challenges - Tick Tac Toe"  I was on the DT for this awesome group for a few years and am so happy I had a chance to play along with them this month!!
I decided to follow the top row of the board - selecting Stripped Paper / Fussy Cutting/ Any Page Maps Sketch - 

and here is my take on the challenge: 

I just LOVE this Coffee and Friends Collection from Echo Park! I thought it would work great for this photo I took looking outside of my husband's hospital room at New York Presbyterian Hospital this past December, overlooking the George Washington Bridge!

There is a Starbucks in the lobby of the hospital and let me tell you - it was a great treat to help get me through the last 8 months as we have been in and out of there, while battling his heart failure after a massive heart attack last August. I am so thankful he is doing well now, and we treat every day as a blessing!

Here are some close ups for you:

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek! I had lots of fun creating this layout and I hope you like it!

Take care and ((HUG)) your loved ones every single day!

((HUGS)) to you too! ~ Sherri

MLSS April Challenge - "Scraplift one of the DT Members"

 Hello scrappy friends - the April Challengbe over at the My Little Scrapbook Store Scrapbook Layouts and More Page was to "lift" a layout from one of the DT members - 

I picked this layout by the talented Jessica Walker!

I uses lots of Stuff and Goodies from Vickie Boutin's Color Study Collection to highlight this FUN photo of my friends Stephanie and Marianne, from when we visited a pop up in NYC called Candytopia!  SO MUCH FUN!!

I love all the colors and patterns in this collection and thought they worked so well with the vibrant photo!

I even did a Facebook Live event on the MLSS page, where I show you how I created this page - check it out when you get a chance!

Here are some close ups for you:

So break out your Vicki Boutin stuff and make something FUN!

If you don't have any - or enough!! - check out MLSS for all your "VB" needs!! ( or wants - but aren't they the same thing?!) LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!
