Second layout with Let's Scrap 9/1 sketch

I loved the sketch we are using for the 9/1 challenge at Let's Scrap so much

 I used it for another layout.  

This layout is pictures from a recent zoo trip.

I used some old zoo paper and large stickers to match.

Back 2 School with Paper Crafting World

Hello crafty friends- This is Suzanne from CricutcraftinGrammy and I am so thrilled to be back designing with Melin at Paper Crafting World for the 2015 Fall and Winter.  

Melin creates the most amazing files that are so fun to create with.   I hope you are excited as I am to see what all the new and returning designers have in store for you.  

Today in honor of Back to School I created a double page layout of my grandkids.  

Each is holding their Back to School board I created with their individual info 

(See more about the board below)

 For the first page I used the PCW Back to school Title CF

and for the second page I used the PCW Bear with Backpack sitting CF

I added the stamps on the chalkboard with white ink for the

optional twist for the September Challenge.
I inked the edges with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink 

Katie 5 kindergarten and Brittany 3 Preschool

Bazzil cardstock 

White gel pen

Lasting Memories challenge-Title that tells a Story

Today at Lasting Memories we are Telling a story with our Title and distressing.  

We love to spend the day at the Santa Barbara zoo 

with the grandkids and feed the giraffes.  

I decided to use the title A Day At the Zoo which definitely tells what we are doing.  Also the title has little chunks out of it like it is distressed.  I used my Prima distressor on some of the paper and then inked with brown ink. I also added some green leaves under the title.   The title, leaves, elephant and giraffe came from Silhouette America.  

Check out what the other designers created at Lasting Memories and join us for the challenge this week and every week.  New challenges are posted each Sunday.  

Mother's Day and Father's Day

The first layout is using Adorn It paper and is pictures of the grandkids at Grandma and Grandpas house for Father's Day.  Always lots of fun when the grandkids get together.  

This layout is also Adorn It and is pictures from Mother's Day with my oldest daughter Danielle.  

Santa Barbara Zoo layout

During the Summer we decided to renew our membership to the local zoo in Santa Barbara. The kids love the animals and shows.  Then we stop on the way home to have lunch at Pajaro Grill where they have a huge sand pit for the kids to play in.  

The large animal stickers and paper was old stuff I had in my stash put was perfect for these fun pics of the grandkids.  

New Design team and challenge at Let's Scrap- Summer Sunshine

Summer vacation is over and all the grandkids are back to school.  Today is the first sketch challenge for the Fall Design Team at Let's Scrap.  There will be new designers on the team as well as returning members.  I am excited to return for my second term as I love the double page layout sketches.  

This is another great sketch from Michelle van Wyk with tons of places for photos.  

I chose a variety of pictures from Summer fun.  

This would be a great sketch to use some of your scraps for.  

Here is the awesome sketch.  You have through September 14th to enter your layout using this sketch.  There will be a new sketch on the 1st and 15th of each month at Let's Scrap.
