Craft Night

Hello and welcome!

One of the things I missed the most during the pandemic was Craft Night. The first Friday night of each month, a large group of us meet in South St. Paul to craft together for hours. I have been doing this for almost ten years now and can't wait to go back. This photo was taken in 2019.

I used Pinkfresh Studio's Indigo Hills 2 and Just A Little Lovely pattern papers. The gold title and frame are from Pinkfresh's Everyday Musings puffy accents. The butterflies and subtitle are stamps from Pinkfresh's Bloom & Grow and Simply Sentiments-Hello sets.

For those of you who are Pinkfresh fans, bonus points if you recognize the lady 3rd from the left.

Marching Band Homecoming

Hello and welcome!

Remembering the old "normal" days. This was Aaron preforming the half time show with the Carroll University Marching Band for their 2019 homecoming. It was a lot easier to play the trumpet without a mask!

I love how Pinkfresh Studio's collections work together. I used pattern papers from Indigo Hills 2 and Life Noted. The embellishments are from Let's Stay Home, Boy's Fort and Indigo Hills 2. The title was created with Heather's Upper Case dies. I used sketch #104 by Lisa Hidy.

22nd Anniversary

Hello and welcome!

Jeff and I were feeling cooped up with the pandemic, so we took a day trip to Red Wing for our anniversary. It was great fun hiking the bluffs and getting homemade chocolates from our favorite local shop.

This page was created with Pink Fresh Studio's Indigo Hills 2 pattern papers, ephemera from Let's Stay Home, and Heather's Upper Case die cuts. I also used cheese cloth as a fun accent. This page is based on sketch #156 by Lisa Hidy.

December COVID Chronicles

Hello and welcome!

I got a little overwhelmed with all that has been going on in the world; the George Floyd murder was just 20 minutes from our home. So between riots, politics and COVID, scrapping got sidelined. But things have calmed down and I am scrapping again. Yay! So here is my delayed December COVID Chronicle.

This page is based on sketch #223 by Heather Hall from Sketch N Scrap. The pattern papers are from Photo Play's Living The Quarantine Life collection. The flowers are by Little Yellow Bicycle, and the brads are by October Afternoon.

April COVID Chronicles

Hello and welcome!

Keeping up on my monthly scrapping of our pandemic journey. Here is my latest:

This layout is based on a sketch by Rochelle Spears. I also used the first row on Scrap With Stacy's tic-tac-toe board (border punch-twine-stamping). The pattern papers are from Photo Play's The New Normal collection. The cute doctors are stamps by My Favorite Things.
