30 Days, 30 Cards

This month on the MemoryWorks blog, there is some month-long fun going on.  It's 30 Days, 30 Cards.  Each day this month, a sketch will be featured along with an example from one of the TeamWorks members.  We are all using Christmas themed papers to give you some Christmas card inspiration.  It's never to early to get started on those Christmas cards, right:)  Today's my day on the blog and I chose this fun sketch from PageMaps:

 

Here's my take on the sketch using the Simple Stories Holiday Handmade 6x6 pad.  I love how the sketch has a stitched border so I "had" to use my sewing machine:)

 

 

If you want to play along, link up your card on the MemoryWorks blog.  There will be prizes awarded at the end of the month!!

Memory Works Inspiration

Well it's my month to share some inspiration for the Memory Works website.  You can go here to see the site and then go to inspiration and you can see the full supply list and instructions.  I used the brand new Simple Stories Take a Hike collection which is great for any outdoor projects:)

 A card that would be fun to use to invite someone over for a BBQ

 I created the camping checklist to use and store next to our camping supplies so it's there to use whenever it's time to pack for camping.  I laminated it so I can check it off and then erase the checkmarks and use it again!

A hiking adventure from quite a few years ago (at least 5!)

BB Gun

I combined a couple of challenges for this one of Tyler and his first BB Gun that he got last Christmas.  I used sketch #83 from the Sketches in Thyme blog and went with the brown/coral/sage color theme from the ScrapFit blog and then scrapped a holiday photo using non-holiday papers from the Memory Works monthly challenge.  Whew, that was a mouthful!  I used the Simple Stories Awesome line for this LO, love this all boy line!!
