Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #160

As we get close to the 25th, I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas.

Today I'm showing a card sketch that Lisa designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

For my card, I used a new stamp set I recently aquired from ColorBox call Cozy Cups. They are so much fun to color! I did quite a few in different color schemes.

If you can believe it, the triplets turned 10 this year! Double Digits! It felt like we celebrated for weeks between the sleep overs, the actual birthday and the Thanksgiving party. The kids didn't mind though!

How crazy is it that it is already December? I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a good amount of snow giving the kids 2 extra days at home. They are enjoying their long week off of school. For me I've had time to get some paper crafting done, starting with this layout based off of Lisa's sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap.

 Brett had another fun year of Flag Football. He's getting eager to play tackle, but this mom just isn't ready for that!

Yeah, so this morning my sketch debuted on the Sketch-N-Scrap blog. Annndd I'm just getting my layout live now. Well, you know, life. The kids have me running in circles every day, after a full day of work. Still I enjoy being able to have some quiet time to scrap. I hope everyone is able to set aside a little time to work on their craft. For their own sake!

For my layout I was working with photos from this summer, finally getting a layout done with some of Brett's tball pictures. We just finished his football season this last weekend so I'm not too far behind!

I'm back today with another layout sketch that I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

We stocked our pond with fish last year. The kids headed out late this summer with their fishing poles and a box of worms to see if anything would bite. No sooner had a worm hit the water and we had fish biting. Makes for fun fishing!!

We are officially back to school in our house and that means we are super busy! So it is great to have fun card sketches from Sketch-N-Scrap at my disposal to help give inspiration when I need a quick card.

My card is very close to the sketch above. I also used the primary colors which make it a very versatile card for boys or girls.

Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #152

This is such a great from Lisa over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

I dug through my pile of scrap papers are came up with these pieces that work wonderfully together. I also had random flower shapes and leaves already cut out that were the perfect colors to layer and accent the card. So all in all it was quick to put together because I already had what I needed precut.

Last month I posted a layout I made with photos from our trip to Kansas. We made another stop on our trip, to the log cabin of Dr. Brewster Higley. In 1873 he wrote the words to the song My Western Home. Which was later made famous by the Harlan Brothers Orchestra as Home on the Range. Which is the Kansas State Song.
