Weekly Challenge #58: Family Mementos Challenge!

The Challenge: Scrapbook a page with a photograph of a special family memento. In your journaling, tell the story behind your special object and include 2 Cricut image cuts. The stars and the tank are from United We Stand. This is a picture of my parents and me taken on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when my dad, a WWII vet, was called back into service during the Korean War. This picture was sent to my grandparents after we arrived and the writing on the back of the picture was by my Great Grandmother. I copied and enlarged the picture, so her journaling could be part of the page, which is very special to me.

Art Inspiration Challenge

For this challenge I used Paper Trimmings for the 3 flowers: Flower 2, 4 and 8.

Color Challenge

For this challenge I used Sophie for the card and flower and Sweet Treats for Happy birthday.

Scraps Only Challenge

I used Walk in My Garden and Freshly Picked for this challenge. My scraps are in a big tub and I paw through it looking for paper for Cricut cuts. I used the cuttlebug for the tulip stems and leaves.

Something Old - Something New

I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the older cartridge and Rosettes and Ribbons for the newer cart.

Recipe Challenge

For this challenge we are to use 3 Cricut cuts: Animal Kingdom, Walk in My Garden, Just Because Cards, Plantin Schoolbook and George for the Circles. 3 pattern papers, butterfly which is yellow, pen stitched around the sentiment.

The Mess on Your Desk Game

I was using this paper pack for some cards and used the sentiment and dog, because it was too big for the other cards.
