Dec. 202110 viewsI create a monthly pocket page to document our family's everyday lives. This is for December.

Moody10 viewsMy daughter sent these photos to me - of herself at a college party this past fall. I realized how far she's come since the dark days of spring 2020, her last semester of high school, when everything was shut down, she couldn't see her friends, and she was so sad.
She's now adapting well to college, she's communicating with us, and even though she does have daily struggles, she's coping and adulting well!
I used a sketch from Rochelle Spears for the design.

Goals10 viewsThis page describes how soccer has been in the US news lately. My soccer-loving husband and son love it!

Pinkfresh washi wreath card10 viewsFor the Nov. challenge to make an Xmas card

Garage Goals9 viewsFor the June 9 challenge - lift+ stickers.
This page is about the recent garage reorganization we did. It's taken a few YEARS(!), but we have things cleared out and cleaned up. :)

Thanks,
Cynthia

Grudge Match9 viewsThis page is about the Astros vs. Dodgers game that my son went to in LA in August. The Dodgers fans were not kind, yelling curse words and fighting in the stands (even with each other). My son and his friend are Astros fans, and they thought it was sort of funny. I thought the baseball cards in the urinals were funny, but their throwing water bottles at my son was not! Anyway - it was something to document, and I was able to use my stash, even better!
I took a SNS sketch and an ACOT title challenge too.

Hit the Slopes9 viewsStash-busting page about my kids' ski trip. I Sketches in Thyme sketch #507.

March 20229 viewsThis is my monthly pocket page for March for our family album. It includes pics/stories that I've already scrapped, plus others that don't warrant their own page. Using some old and new scraps here!

Road Trip9 viewsLayout about my family's time in the car. We usually sit in the same spots, unless we switch drivers. Unless you count the car music choice, passengers have the best deal - napping, reading, snacking, etc. We've spent a lot of time in the car going to national parks these past couple of years. I used a sketch from Scrap Our Stash.

Happy Thanksgiving card9 viewsWe found out that we won't see my in-laws for Thanksgiving this year, so this card is for them! I used Photoplay Autumn Orchard - lots of options for a fall card.

Our Filipino Diet9 viewsDocumenting our eating habits while on vacation in the Philippines. I used Sketch N Scrap sketch #192

On (& Off) the Slopes9 viewsI documented two ski trips here - one for my husband and daughter in Utah in January, and one for my son in Colorado in Feb.
I used SNS sketch #169 for the design.

May 2021 Card sketch - grad cards8 viewsI used the monthly card sketch to make these grad cards. The kids' school colors are blue and gold and navy blue/white/silver (although the silver looks really gray here!).

Thanks,
Cynthia

Red White & Blue Game8 viewsThis page documents the recent Texas A&M football game when everyone wore red white or blue shirts - honoring the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I love seeing the effect of the different tiers in the stadium!
I used a Becky Fleck sketch, some new Fancy Pants papers, and some OLD stamps.

Thanks,
Cynthia

Classic Greek8 viewsI made this one for the CSI challenge blog, case file 406 and made sure it fits in with one of the challenges here.

It documents my daughter's trip to Athens, Greece, while she's studying abroad this semester.

Portugal Adventure8 viewsDocumenting our recent family trip to Portugal - Sintra and Lisbon. A true adventure!

Road Warriors8 viewsPage about my husband and daughter finishing the El Paso Marathon. I used a SNS sketch for the design.

Feeling Blue8 viewsDocumenting our hikes in the Blue Mountains of Australia. I used a Sketch n Scrap sketch for the design.

Right Here Waiting7 viewsThis page is about how my dog Lucy is constantly waiting for me. Unless she's napping (which is admittedly quite often!), she waits for me to walk her, waits for me to finish at my desk, waits for me to feed her, etc. Design is lifted from Jessica Michaels. Cut file is from Paper Issues.

School Spirit7 viewsAs a supportive uncle, my husband set out to collect sweatshirts from all the colleges that my nieces attend/attended. He's done, with three teenagers left to go. I used a SOS sketch and lots of stash items.
