Raspberry Delights

 April Mosaic Moments Challenge #2

The next sneak peak

Raspberry Grid paper is the feature in this April Challenge that will be out come Monday, April 23.
Layouts will be posted to the scrapbook gallery here the week following the challenge reveal on Journella .
I've done a second layout with the same paper that will be posted then too! I'm not a real fan of that bright, bold Raspberry, it's more the shade my girls enjoy, but once I began working with it I had lots of fun.

It's spring and classes are almost finished and my time is beginning to open up a bit for more creative endeavors...in between watching the new granddaughter, so hopefully the days ahead will bring lots of colorful fun!

Card Time again

Amid the last minute tax prep of the kids forms, I managed to hatch a few ideas for the card kits I'm planning for a few friends. I have several note cards planned and then started on the baby card ideas. I've had this ribbon sitting on my desk along with the stamp for months, awaiting an inspiring moment to work.

Now I'll get to work on other designs for the baby set and hopefully have them ready to go for all the new babies due this year!

Where Were They in 1940?

 

One of my favorite pass-times is working on the family tree. Last year the 1911 Scottish Census was released and I still haven't had a chance to exhaust sesarches there. And now...in only a few days, the US 1940 Census will be made public...and the race to get all the facts available at various online sources will begin...this poster has all the tips to get ready to go! Now's a good time to start your family search if you've never ventured out on this journey before. Give it a try! Enjoy! follow the link  to Ancestry.com on the side bar, tune into  NBC tonight to see Who Do You Think You Are? Tonight's episode is actress Rita Wilson. They will be going to Greece and Bulgaria to trace her family roots! 

Here's a few of the people I'll be tracking!

 

thanks for stopping by...happy searching!

Sneak Peek of Mosaic Moments March Challenge #2

I have been so enjoying working on the Mosaic Moments Design Team. Yes, it's been a bit of a break from designing cards, but it's also been a much needed return to getting some scrapbooking completed. Each of the challenges remind me of the type of assignments I had in art school. Many of the challenges have also required specific photo challenges, I just wish my camera wasn't being a bit temperamental!

This month's challenge was a color/pattern challenge using photos of my own choosing. So, I brought out some of my 3000 photos of my trip home to Scotland in 2010, and shifted through them to find a batch to work out on the Cypress Mosaic Moments grid paper. I'm just going to give you a tease...and hope you'll return at the end of the week when it's finished and uploaded to come and see! You'll find it under the title "Over the Sea to Skye"

Some of the materials that I have used.

The scraps I will use for my embellishment.



A few of the featured photos!

remember...stop back on the weekend for a look at the finished layout...or catch everyone's at journella  on the storyboard!
