Challenge YOUrself #123 Favorite Pets

Hello Scrappy Friends! 

I hope this month finds all of you well!! I’m recovering from a big foot surgery that I had on March 27th. I have to be off my right foot and non-weight-bearing for 6 weeks! I was able to get some scrapping done before the surgery so I can share this great challenge with you!!

For this month’s challenge at the Challenge YOUrself Blog we want to see a layout featuring your Favorite Animal or Pet! 

I used 49 and Market’s Teal Collection to create this layout of our Sweet girl Sugar  - our 5 year old all white Portuguese Water Dog.  She is Silly and just as Sweet as her name! She makes us smile every day! 

I had fun using lots of “stuff” from this beautiful collection- and using frames - especially to frame and highlight our silly girl! 

Here are some close ups for you:

I hope I’ve inspired you to play along with us this month!! Head on  over to the Challenge YOUrself Blog for challenge info and lots more inspiration from our Design Team!!

February Challenge YOUrself #122

Hi everyone. This month we want to see a layout including YOU and a favorite memory from 2023!

I selected a photo of my husband and me that was taken on a tour in Bermuda.  We sailed from NY to Bermuda on the Disney Dream in October of 2023.  It was a wonderful trip and a fun Island tour.   We were blessed to make special memories we will cherish forever!    

I used Simple Stories “Crusin’ “ collection!  So fun!!  I actually used 2 of the ship page - I fussy cut elements from one page ( the ship, clouds, sun… )  the popped them with 3D foam on top of the base page.  
I love how it came out! 
Here a a few close-ups for you! 

Thanks for stopping by!!  Please check out the other inspirational layouts from the rest of the Design Team and all the rules, and prize info for the challenge on the CHALLENGE YOURSELF BLOG and join us!!

I’d love to see what YOU create!!
