Creative Scrappers - Sketch Challenge #280

Oh, how this little stinker cracks me up!  We were playing outside and I asked her to stand still for a second, so I could get a picture.  Without skipping a beat, she stops and strikes this pose.  I could not quit laughing!  She is so full a energy and sass!  

I used the latest sketch at Creative Scrappers as inspiration for this layout.  I have been a big fan of the CS sketches for a long time!  This was a fun one to work with.  I am still feeling a little rusty, but still enjoying the process.

Thanks for stopping by!

Creative Scrappers Reveal Day!

 My little squoosh is on the move!  She is not quite walking, but she will be SOON!  I love following her around watching her show off her new moves.  She is so proud...so active...so fun!

I used the new October Afternoon, Woodland Park collection.  I LOVE the Navy blue!  It is sooooo my new favorite!

Check out the great sketch!  Isn't it fun?  Be sure to stop by Creative Scrappers and see all the lovely new layouts inspired by this sketch.  If you are feeling that itch to create, this sketch would be a great jump start!

Have a lovely, relaxing, and creative Sunday!

Creative Scrappers Sketch #226

It is reveal day over at Creative Scrappers!  Be sure to stop by the blog and check out all the gorgeous layouts inspired by sketch #226!  

Here is my take on the sketch:

This is my little sweetie, Emery, celebrating her 1st Birthday, with family.  I used a mixture of Basic Grey and October Afternoon.  Love this color combination! 

This sketch was a lot of fun to work with and left room for interpretation.  I love that in a sketch! <3 p="p">

For this hop I selected to show you Sketch 216 
created by Janice Daquila-Pardo.

I created a layout using some older Sassafrass Lass papers and floral embellishments.  This particular sketch inspired me to use several smaller photos, which is rare for me.  I usually scrap 4X6 photos.  I love how this turned out and that the sketch pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Here is my layout using sketch #224.  I used the new Basic Grey collection, Paper Cottage.  LOVE it!  The photo is one I took in the Hilton lobby during our summer vacation.  I was really drawn to this unique floral display, so of course, I had to scrap it! :)

This months prize is from Moments of Tranquility.  Be sure to link up for a chance to win!
Have a great week! :)

Mobile

It is hard to believe this little toot, turns ONE today!  Happy Birthday, my squooshy sunshine!

This is my layout using Creative Scrappers Sketch #222.   Which, by the way, is the new sketch revealed today on the Creative Scrappers blog!  Why not play along with us and create your own layout!  You could win a FABULOUS prize pack!  Read all about it here!

Creative Scrappers Reveal

Sketch #216 was revealed today at Creative Scrappers !  Also, the new Design Team layout inspiration were also revealed!   You MUST go see all the gorgeous interpretations of this sketch!  Talk about some serious eye candy!  

I love this sketch by Janice Daquila-Pardo!  I am usually a 4x6 photo scrapper but I really enjoyed switching things up and scrapping with smaller photos.  I also love the long banner strip that anchors the photos.  A very fun sketch, indeed! 

Here is my take on the sketch.  I used photos from our Cinco De Mayo Fiesta at school.  The wonderful parents really outdid themselves in putting this together.  My students had lots of fun!

Why not give this sketch a try and use up some of those July 4th celebration photos?  If you do, be sure to link up at Creative Scrappers for a chance to win  a prize package from our July sponsor My Creative Classroom!

A Dear Friend...

A new layout of me and my sweet friend Michelle.  She came down last weekend for a visit and we had such a great time!  Even though I don't get to see her as often as I would like, when we get together, it is as though no time has passed.  Love this girl! :)

I used sketch #206  from Creative Scrappers as inspiration for this layout.  Loved the sketch! :)
