Thanks a latte cards

This week I had some time to play around on my Silhouette Cameo and I made these "Thanks a latte" cards for my current team members at work. Things are crazy at work due to construction and due to limited space our teams have been divided up. I will be on one of the two outpatient teams heading to the main hospital in order to preserve space at my current clinic. I well be getting a new speech and physical therapist partner. So to say thanks to my current partners I made these cards and will pick up small gift cards from Starbucks. Thanks for looking!

Me at 31

It's been years since I've had the opportunity to scrapbook. But lately I've been very inspired to get back into scrapbooking. Friday I spent the day at the Scrapbook Expo in Duluth, GA. Also it's been way too hot here in Atlanta to go out and do much, so I've been binge watching scrapbooking videos on YouTube.And of course all the wonderful scrapbookers on IG have been inspiring me lately. Saturday evening I made the time to use one of my many kits from Scraptastic's Kit Club to do Sketch 446 from Scrapbook Challenges.  I believe the kit is April's Road and Rivers. The picture is from a recent evening out with coworkers to celebrate a fellow OT's upcoming wedding.  Not only did I challenge myself to use the sketch but I challenged myself to add as much dimension to my page and embellishments as possible. I often feel that my layouts are flat and plain looking. I used pink ink to ink the label to the left of the photo, several pattern papers to mat the photo, and layered the two stickers in the lower left corner of the photo. I recently did my bedroom in magenta and gold, so of course those gold alphabet layers stood out to me. I truly enjoyed my evening making this page and it made me miss scrapbooking. A new goal for me is to crop at least once a week. Maybe I'll finally learn to use that Silhouette Cameo sitting in the box:) Thanks for looking!
