XOXO - Selfies with Lucy34 viewsThis is a collection of selfies with our family dog, Lucy. She tolerates all the pictures we take of her, and we even get wet kisses when we take too long. She's the sweetest. <3
I used the 2/15/21 sketch.

Masculine cards for June 2023 card challenge32 viewsFrom a couple of Pagemaps sketches - and my stash!

100% Pure Love31 viewsThe results of my dog Lucy's doggie DNA test weren't what we expected! 100% mutt - but we love ALL of her.
For the 6/19/2023 Pooh and Friends challenge using a SNS sketch.

Sand-sational30 viewsI created this one for the 1/2 challenge - the discontinued mfr. is Lily Bee (RIP) for the paper strips, and the "new" items are the white acetate accents, which are from Elle's Studio (got them as part of their Black Friday sale last November, so they're new to me).
The page itself is about my family's trip to White Sands, NM - wide open sand dunes for all for sledding and photos!
I was also inspired by SNS sketch and a photo challenge at CSI blogspot - the colors and hills. Thanks!

Bridge Climb30 viewsMy hubby and I had a lot of fun at this tour while on vacation - the Sydney Bridge Climb, over the Sydney Harbor. They made you wear special suits with a bunch of buckles, you couldn't wear watches or big earrings, they gave you straps for your sunglasses and hat - you had to take a breathalyzer test too!
Great views, and although my husband was a little nervous about the height, it was such a unique experience.

The Best Way to Explore is to Take a Hike29 viewsI created this for another challenge to use a long title + sketch, but instead of paper strips, I used washi for the current stash challenge. I hadn't even opened this pack of Amy Tangerine washi! Matched well with the new stuff I had too.
The page is about my family's trip to Guadalupe National Park in Texas.

Stronger29 viewsI used tore paper strips from an older Paige Evans line (actually scraplifted a page she posted on FB) for the background. This page talks about my mom, and how strong she's had to be this past year. Today, she got her 2nd COVID vaccine shot, so I HAD to do a page about her!:-)

Lucy-Approved29 viewsWe just got new flooring, and this page is about how my dog "approved" of the new rugs we just got, so much so that she'd plop down on the rugs as we were trying to position them. At least we know she was comfortable!

Thanks,
Cynthia

Just Resting29 viewsA tribute to my husband on Father's Day..."I'm not asleep. I'm just resting my eyes." I used a Becky Fleck sketch.

A Dog's Tail28 viewsThe page documents the TLC we gave my sweet dog Lucy during her recovery from a sore spot on her tail - including wearing a "cone of shame," poor thing!

Summer Lovin'28 viewsMy nephew got engaged. The pics they sent were taken at a Rhode Island beach - went all in on the summer/beach theme.

Beach Vibes27 viewsI did this one for CSI, but it also applies to the 8/16 challenge.
The page is about our visit to Bondi Beach in Australia.

2020 Grads26 viewsWe had 5 high school seniors last spring - my daughter, and 4 of her cousins (2 on my side, 2 on my husband's). I realized that I hadn't done a page about them yet, so here's one to document their rough end to their senior year, and hopes for their futures.
From a Pagedrafts sketch.
Thanks.

You Rock26 viewsMy family went to three outdoor concerts this past month - Rod Stewart, REO Speedwagon/Styx (Loverboy was supposed to be there but had to cancel), and the Houston Symphony playing the Beatles music. Even with the heat and humidity, we had fun listening to the music together! <3

Fabulous Hats26 viewsOur kids teased us about these "old people" hats that we bought for outdoor activities. But on our trip to Washington national parks this month, we saw dozens of people wearing the same style hats! Cut to this week, when our neighbor told my husband, "I didn't recognize you because you looked like an old man in that hat." Ha!
I used a lot of Pinkfresh and lifted a lyout by Kim Jenkins.

SEAttle Views26 viewsLayout about my family's vacation to Seattle. Even from the plane, we had gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier, and then once in the city, we saw lots of the waterfront, even taking a sunset cruise on the bay. Wonderful time as a family!
