Template Mash-Up Challenge AND Connect & Create: May 2026 Pop culture – Designs your page along a flowing line

For the iNSD 2026 Blind Scraplift challenge, I scrapped my Dude going back home an adult from his Make-A-Wish trip!

I just love capturing Finn his expressions. He loves to have his photos taken and treats me with big smiles.

For the iNSD 2026 template mash-up challenge, I used the two templates to scrap the first ride of our day at Universal

For NSD 2026: Template Mash-Up Challenge

For the iNSD2026 Paper to Dig scraplift challenge, I scrapped the photos of our little family taking a pic in each pavilion at Epcot on my son's 18th birthday.

For the iNSD 2026 One Template Many Ways challenge, I chose to scrap our visit with Mirabel during my son's Make-A-Wish trip. The Family Madrigal song is one of his favourites and he loved meeting her!!

Finn had a little chickie in his classroom last week. His teacher sent me this photo. I couldn't resist. I had to scrap it. He said the chick his name was miemiemiemie (the sound a little chick makes)

Connect & Create May '26: Down to earth - one template, two ways (1)

The firedepartement at my parents hometown held an open house last weekend. My dad wanted to take Finn to see the firetrucks. My mom and I happily joined them. He had a blast. He could ride two different firetrucks and could use the hose to put down fires.

Finn in his new PJ's he got for his birthday. It has tractors on it. He loves everyting with wheels so it was a big hit.

I couldn't resist making a second page with this collab between Cheryl & Soco. I used the same kits and the majority of the same details. Minimalism is a lot harder for me than maximalism but I think I rose to the challenge.

I'm in the middle of preparing for May the 4th so my mind is currently in a galaxy far, far away. I saw the circles in this template and thought of the Death Star. From there, I just let the force flow through me as I built this page.

I have been saving these photos for MONTHS for just the right template set. I made sure to stage some photos so I would have something fun to scrap when I needed inspiration. Plus I just really like this Fallout kit

When Cheryl was taking requests for new template sets, I asked for something with clouds. She gave me what I wanted plus lots of cheerful sunshine too. While these photos aren't quite as sun-soaked as I'd like (since they were shot through a tinted car window), they still bring the Florida fun.

Photos from one of our trips to the zoo. It was early morning and there was hardly any crowd.
