Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #184

It's so close to Christmas! I hope everyone is able to enjoy some time with friends and family. If you find some spare time this holiday season, I have a fun card sketch for you designed by Lisa. Check out what the design team came up with using the sketch at Sketch-N-Scrap.

I had fun stamping and coloring some Hello Bluebird images for this card.

Over at Sketch-N-Scrap today you'll find a fun 3 photo sketch from Lisa. 

For my layout, I used 3 photos from the kids birthday last month. The papers I selected are from the Imaginisce line Birthday Bash. I used the same papers for my layout on the first of the month. Also, on the title piece the birthday letters were cut out of the title piece on the previous layout. A great way to use them up and have cohesiveness between the two layouts!

Happy December! 

I'm back today with a sketch I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap. The design team came up with some wonderful examples so make sure to head on over to the SNS blog to check them out.

The kids had some fun parties for their birthday this year. Brileigh got to invite 4 friends for a sleepover. It is always a highlight of her year. I don't know why they call it a "sleep" over though.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful November so far. Weather here has been changing weekly from cold to warm to cold. The cold weeks has me hunkered down in my craft room working on my scrapbook pages. For today's layout I used this great sketch from Stacy over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

 

At the end of October the kids talked me into taking them and some friends to the local haunted forest attraction. This was the first time for them ever experiencing something like this. We made it through, but there was a lot of screaming along the way!

Back today with another card sketch. This one I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

Here is my take on the card, staying pretty true to the sketch. Check out what the other design team members came up with using this sketch.

 Can you believe we are in October? Fall is upon us and today over at Sketch-N-Scrap Stacy has a very fun fall card sketch to inspire you.

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #210

Happy Happy October! 

Isn't this a fun fall sketch from Stacy over at Sketch-N-Scrap?

So these layouts were about as much fun to do as the color run itself. I mean who doesn't love spraying ink all over? The look on the paper is pretty much what it looks like running through colored powder.

The title piece that I made was super fun as well! I used the Concord & 9th Tall Type Alphabet Dies to cut out the letters. I then put them on the sticky side of my purple tape to hold them in place while I sprayed them with the colors in rainbow order. After the ink was dry I used my Wink a Stella to add a little sparkle and finished them off with a layer of Glossy Accents.

So I was under the impression that I was ahead of the game last month. I made this layout with the one below to go together. I had every intention of getting both on the SNS blog but when I got the layouts added to my computer ready to post, I was past the deadline for my layout. So much for being ahead of the game!

We are getting settled into the new routine of school around here. Which is wonderful to have a little bit of normalcy. I've been able to squeeze out some time to work on a list of cards I need to make. Today I have one that I made using this great sketch from Lisa over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

I had a project where I needed some paper flowers, so in true fashion for me, I cut out a ton of flower/leaf shapes in different scrap papers so I'd have plenty to use on future projects. This card was one that I used them on.

After a short hiatus, taking August to get the kids prepared for school, I'm back today with a sketch I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

My Epson Charm photo printer has decided to give out on me, so for this layout I dug through my pile of old photos. I have tons of photos of the kids so finding something to scrap with isn't hard.  I've come to depend on my photo printer though to print all of my pictures. I'm really going to miss it. What is your favorite device for picture printing? I'm going to need to replace my Epson, so let me know what printer you love!

Is it summer without S'mores? I think my kids enjoy burning the marshmallows more than eating them though!

Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #173

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July! 

We're back at it over at Sketch-N-Scrap with another fun card sketch from Stacy.

My card came together pretty quick, I had all of the pieces already made laying around, it was just a matter of pairing the elements with coordinating paper.

Hello Everyone!

It has been a while since I have been able to do any of the fun sketches over at Sketch-N-Scrap. Life has gotten crazy! I feel that we are starting to settle into our new normal and I was able to carve out a little scrapbook time. Which is perfect because today I have a super fun sketch from Stacy!

My kids got to experience their first summer camp recently. It was so much fun driving them the 4 hours away and getting them situated in their cabin. They brought home tons of memories!

I had so much fun making this card. I love making cards anyways, but this one was fun. There was stamping, coloring, shaker card making... What's not to like?

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #201

Today I have a fun one photo sketch for you that I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

I know, I know, it's May! And here I am scraping a Christmas photo. Welp, I'm here to tell you it's okay to be behind on scrapping. It doesn't matter the time of year. If you have the right sketch for your photo, use it!

Now let's talk about this photo. 10 years old and they still were excited to sit on Santa's lap and have their picture taken. I know I only have a little bit of time left with my children indulging me this way. I'll scrap a page for every year they let me continue this tradition.

It's getting warmer, and for those seeking to get out of the heat, I have a great sketch for you that I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

A while back I took a bunch of my scrap papers and die cut out flower elements that I built quite a few flowers from. They sit in a drawer just waiting to be used. For this card, I reached for one of the flowers. Once paired with complimentary papers, it makes for a quick put together card, but looks like it took quite a while to make.

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #199

Here we are at the mid point of April already! Today I have a sketch for you that I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap.

If you saw my post on the 1st of April you'll have noticed it that this layout looks similar. On the 1st my sketch was about my son's playing basketball this season. This post is about my daughter's season. I stuck with the same color scheme, blue and yellow for the school's colors and some orange mixed in for basketball.

Since we've gotten my daughter's kitten, Wynter, she has always liked to be on my craft table when I'm working. She used to curl up into a ball underneath my work light. Lately though, she's decided she can stretch out to laying all over whatever I'm working on. #workhazards

Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #167

As we head straight into April, I have a card sketch I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap for you all to use.

Sometimes I have just the right scraps of papers laying on my table. The perfect colors and patterns for a card. This was one of those times where the layers just jumped out.

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #198

Happy April Fools! 

Over at Sketch-N-Scrap we aren't fooling anyone! We have a great sketch for you from Lisa. The design team have a bunch of great examples using the sketch as well. Go check them out!

My page was designed starting with my son's basketball photos from this year. I chose the colors blue and yellow to represent his schools colors, and then mixed in a little orange because, it's basketball!
