Nacho Tuesday - Challenge YOUrself #88

Hi everyone, It is time for April's challenge from over a the Challenge YOUrself Blog. This month we would like you to chose a letter and use it on your layout. For example, if you chose P, use paint, pearls, etc and a word that starts with P in your title and remember to include YOU in one of your photos!

Here is my take on the challenge - documenting a fun family memory from our "Covid-19 Vacation" last November. I selected the letter "T" to capture our "Nacho Tuesday" Dinner!

I used: Tiny Alphas, the letter T in my title, Tearing, Twine, Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Stain, Tattered Angels Spray, Tarnished Brass Distress Stain, a Tag and washi Tape.

Our cruise to Bermuda was canceled so we rented a beautiful log home in New York State, near Lake George.  We had a great time, relaxing and getting away with our family and our dogs.

Here are some close ups for you:

I love the Vintage Great Escape collection from Simple Stories - I used a piece of mixed media paper from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection - that had gold circles that were filled in with green paint. I made gold circles on the Simple Stories layers and painted green and blue distress oxide spray.

Here you can see some more of those circles and also the tag that I created behind one of the photos.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this month 

- and I can't wait to see what YOU create!

Scrap Our Stash December Challenge "Masks are Cool"

 Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a safe, healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!  These are very scary times and we cut down on our guests to just our immediate family.  I really hope everyone else did too, so we can stop the spread of this virus.

This month's challenge at the Scrap Our Stash Blog is very appropriate for these times, and gives you a chance to document life during these unprecedented times!  Show us your masks!

Here is my Design Team Layout for your inspiration for this challenge. We took a drive to a Zinnia field one day in September with my parents. It was our first time there and it was so beautiful. We hope to make this a yearly adventure.

Here are some close ups for you:

I had fun using gesso, paint, Ranger Distress Stains, Wink of Stella glitter brushes and Nuvo Drops on this beautiful piece of chipboard.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at the Scrap Our Stash Blog this month - Please head on over to the SOS Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team, and check out the challenge rules and prize details too!
