So, I took some time off to work on some personal things, but I'm back and ready to get scrappin' again! It's late in the month, so I probably won't get all of the challenges at OScraps done this month, but I will do my best!
First up, the two challenges I have completed this past week. Second, three layouts I did yesterday playing with the new April 2024 Color Play. The April 2024 Color Play can be found HERE and is 50% off for a limited time! Mix and match or grab them all!
Quote It Challenge #1
Done for the April Quote It Challenge found here: https://oscraps.com/community/threads/april-challenge-1-quote-it.39576/
Quote: “A smile is the best makeup a girl could wear.” ― Marilyn Monroe
Journaling reads: We took a late lunch break before heading back to the hotel after our touring in Hershey, PA. We ate at Houlihan’s Restaurant. I had a stuffed chicken breast and Ilene enjoyed ribs. 4/20/24
I layered a mixed media bg over an AI mixed media paper and reduced the opacity of the top paper to 61% to allow some of the color to come through from the AI paper.

Font Challenge #2
Done for the April Font Challenge found here: https://oscraps.com/community/threads/april-challenge-2-font-challenge.39562/
Journaling reads: We had a busy day planned for Saturday. So we had to get up and be ready to eat breakfast at 8:00. Then we drove to Hershey, PA. We went through a ride in the Hershey Store that showed the process from beginning to end of the candy production. Next we rode the trolley through town before going through the High Point Hershey house. Then we went back to the store to pick up some goodies before leaving. We had not eaten lunch, so we ate a late lunch at Houlihan’s Restaurant before we drove back to Strasburg. 4/20/24
Once again, I layered a mixed media bg over an AI mixed media paper and reduced the opacity of the top paper to 61% to allow some of the color to come through from the AI paper.

Oh to be like the anemone,
Carefree, bright and beautiful
As they flutter in the breeze,
They remind us to relax,
Be in the moment,
Breathe.

The Violet

Down in a green and shady bed,
A modest violet grew;
Its stalk was bent, it hung its head
As if to hide from view.
And yet it was a lovely flower,
Its color bright and fair;
It might have graced a rosey bower,
Instead of hiding there.
Yet thus it was content to bloom,
In modest tints arrayed;
And there diffused a sweet perfume,
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley go
This pretty flower to see;
That I may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.
