Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #130

It's time for another card sketch. This one was designed by Lisa at Sketch-N-Scrap.

On a mission to start using the pile of dies I have, I picked out a rose design for this card. Once cut out I ran it through my Xyron Sticker Maker then colored it with Rangers Distress Inks.

Today I have a sketch for you that I designed for Sketch-N-Scrap. Check out what the design team members came up with based on the sketch on the SNS blog.

I have to cherish everyone of these photos that I can get. These 3 getting along, for a few seconds anyways.

It's time for another card sketch over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

For my card I used a couple different dies I had and hand colored the pieces with Ranger Distress Inks.

We've entered into the new school and now with the kids back in school I've had a little more time to spend in the craft room. Just in time to play with the new sketch from Lisa over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

We took our annual first day of school pictures. Along with one getting on the bus. The kids were super excited to get back to school and I was just as happy to be back on a schedule.

Today I have a great card sketch from Lisa over at Sketch-N-Scrap.

This was another sketch I was determined to make a shaker card out of. It's always fun to add the sequins and beads at the end and give it a good shake.

The kids started school today so here we go, back on a schedule! They're pretty excited for school so in my book that's a win! Today I have the second regular layout sketch of the month from Sketch-N-Scrap.

Like I said in my August 1st post, I'm trying to catch up on this summer's photos now that school has started. As with Brett, Brileigh really got the hang of tee ball this year. And being able to coach her the last 3 years, it's been so fun to watch the progress first hand.

Today I have a sketch I created for Sketch-N-Scrap.

I have been making quite a few shaker cards lately and this was another sketch that seemed to work great for a shaker card.

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #158

As we head into August we are gearing up for "back to school" in our house. So I am trying to catch up scrapping all of our summer photos. Having great sketches like this one from Lisa at Sketch-N-Scrap make it easy.

Brett has come a long way in tball and he really improved this year. It's so much fun to watch. For my layout I turned the sketch on the side to work with the photos I had. My title piece is a mix of stickers and wire that I shaped with my new Memory Keepers Happy Jig. 

Talking about my new jig, I have to say I wasn't completely aware of what I was getting. I had assumed it would come with a "map" for creating every letter in the alphabet. Instead it came with a book to make a few words and more shapes. So it has been a learning experience creating the words I want to create with it.

Life has gotten kind of crazy in our house with all of the kids activities. I feel like I'm always running somewhere. It's nice at the end of the day to get some quiet time in the craft room. I finally had just enough time to compete the layout inspired by my latest sketch for Sketch-N-Scrap.

Tball is over, so our recent run abouts are due to Rylan being on the swim team this year. This is a whole new experience for us, and we are learning the ropes. He has come so far and his swimming has improved immensely.

Sketch N Scrap Card Challenge #125

I hope everyone here in the US had a wonderful (and safe) Independence day yesterday.

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

I had fun working with some different angles on this sketch.

 I decided to turn my card into a shaker card. I had the fun new bubble gum stamp set from Jillibean Soup and I used that to create the shaker.
