I love navy paper...with almost any color. In this layout I chose bright yellow, red and assorted patterned paper and white & navy letters for the title. 

The April 2021 Sampler......"Summer Strawberries"

 

   The Sampler Class Theme for April 2021 is Summer Strawberries......maybe a little early for anything Summer.....but I couldn't wait. Echo Park, Doodlebug, AC Cardstock, BoBunny Double Dots.....just some of the papers used to make this Sampler.

Challenge #4 - Sketch April 2021

 

Good Morning and Welcome to the Papertivity Challenge Blog.  It is April 1st and we have a sketch challenge for you.  I love adding lots of geometric shapes to a layout there is something just fun about it.  This sketch uses 7 Circles.  You can fill those circles with paper, journaling, photos or anything you like.  Imagine one of them as a shaker for an interactive element,  how fun would that be?

The layout below is my take on the sketch I hope you enjoy.

 The Third Challenge on the Schnockered Scrappers Blog....Join Us!

 Challenge #3 Create a Background with Borders

Welcome Back.  For our second challenge this month.  Lets create a background using Border Punches, Die Cuts, Stickers etc.  In the above layout I used a lacey border die cut to create the borders in various patterns and put them down like banners.  It makes for a fun and interesting background and is a great way to use up strips of paper you have left over from other projects.

Schnockered Scrappers First Challenge......2021

                                      

                                     Here is my layout for Marnie's "Schnockered Scrappers" Stamping Challenge #1. The complete challenge rules are below my layout.....to use three stamps on your layout...a great idea because I hardly ever use the collection of stamps that I have. I really enjoyed doing this layout; and it gave me the idea to do a special album of "My Favorite Things". The stamps that I used were  Just Johanna's "I Love Tea" background stamp, the hearts are Stampin Up and I'm not sure what the doily stamp is...but I'll check and get back to you.

                                       

It's time to start the Challenges.  For challenge #1 we will do a quick stamping challenge.  In this case you must use 3 different stamps on your layout.

February 2021 Sampler - My Front Porch

 

The February Sampler for 2021....Theme: My Front Porch.  My real front porch looks nothing like this one, but I really wish it did. I'd love to have a wide porch swing with puffy cushions, a quilt hanging on the railing, big plants, and a tea table set up for afternoon tea with friends. What a lovely dream!

2021 - 25 Layouts In A Year # 9

 

Andie played the clarinet for the Lake Zurich High School Marching Band. In the summer there was a Band Camp for a number of marching bands at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This was a photo of the entire group marching on the field. It always amazed me how they took separate groups and brought them together...marching and playing perfectly...in only a few days.

2021 - 25 Layouts In A Year - # 8

 

Darby made elephant ears in class at preschool. When Hayley picked her up...she modeled her new ears for a photo in the car. Lots of Doodlebug on this layout...with a bit of Lawn Fawn thrown in too.

2021 - 25 Layouts In A Year - Layout # 7

 Marnie suggested the challenge for this layout......Scrap lift one of the layouts from the last page of your own gallery on Scrapbook.Com. I chose a layout from a long time ago that was originally done by Kelli Crowe....lots of little mismatched shapes blended together to make a background. The photo is of Andie...who was a bee for Halloween in 2011.

2021 - 25 Layouts In A Year - Layout 6

 

For Halloween, I sent my grandchildren handheld light up ghosts. I really should have bought one for myself....I loved the colors and flashing lights. While this layout didn't photograph particularly well...there's a lot of glare from the Bazzill glazed paper, the title and the photo....I still think it's fun!
