New Layouts - Grandma and COVID Walks (237-238)

Happy Sunday!

I'm sharing a couple of layouts I completed this weekend. The first is of our painted plywood characters that Juan put out in the yard in different places everyday when COVID started to amuse the children walking with their families on their daily walks.  I used a sketch from Sketch N Scrap #236 and played along with Paper Issues My Momma's Recipe challenge.  This challenge was harder than I thought as there were a lot of components: On your project you must include: 1 doily, 2 photos, 4 papers, 2 alphas, 4 word title, 5 pieces of ephemera, 3 stickers and 2 tags. I used the PinkFresh Let's Stay Home line and tags from Elle's Studio. The alphas are PinkFresh and Altenew. Finally, I was inspired by the BYSS Motivate Me list for "World Kidness Day". This wasn't on the actual day, but inspired me to scrap this neighborhood kindenss activity during COVID.

Here is the sketch I used:

For my second layout I scrapped our social distance outdoor visit with my Grandma during COVID. Unfortunately this was the last visit she was able to make due to COVID. By the time her Assisted Living facility reopened, she had a stroke and has been bedridden and paralized. I'm so thankful we had this afternoon and were able to get these photos of her.  I played along with Paper Issues sketch for the week and again used PinkFresh Let's Stay Home line. I used 3 different stencils and 4 colors of distressed oxides: Tea Dye, Victorian Velvet, Tubmled Glass, and Blueprint sketch.  I added multiple stamps from CTMH and a tag from Elle's Studio. Finally, I was inspired by BYSS Motivate Me list "We Are Family" to create this layout.
