My Little Sketch Blook Sketch Challenge

Scenes of the recent 2 foot snowfall -early in the morning before it got all messed up by the dog and the snow plow!
Blue artisan paper is Fancy Pants, Pink snowflake paper is K & Co. I used Glimmer Mist for the very first time, and I like it! The pink snowflakes are white paper with pink Glimmer Mist on them. Pretty!

Sketchy Thursday Feb 18 challenge

This layout has a transparency overlay on it which made taking the picture difficult. I stamped swirls in white and then sprinkled glitter on while the ink was still wet. At least the overlay will keep the glitter off the page protector! The pictures are of Sean and Adah in the big snowstorm on Feb 10.

This sketch by Liz Qualman inspired me to scrap these pictures of the Gordon's at the beach. The sketch was perfect because I wanted to feature the kids in front of the ocean but also wanted to include the smaller picture of the family.

Page Maps Blog Feb Challenge

The embroidered felt heart was made by my daughter Sandy
who is baby Quinn's Mommy.
This layout was all finished but not posted yet when Sandy
gave me the heart, I just had to include it on the layout

Scrapbooking blunder

Well, I was SO excited about this sketch by Julie Bonner that was posted on her blog. It is for a challenge on the Imaginisce blog. I laid in bed thinking about exactly which pictures and paper I was going to use. I got up this morning and ordered the pictures from WalMart, did my chores, picked up the pictures and excitedly started to create. I am just thrilled with how pretty it came out!

I photographed it and couldn't wait to post it for the challenge - that's when I reread Julie's post and remembered it was for Imaginisce - AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I used all Basic Grey paper - AHHHHHHHHHHHH what a wing-nut!
Oh well, I am very happy with the layout and will get a chuckle at my blunder each time I look at it.

BoBunny Sketch Challenge

Left is the sketch for the BoBunny January Challenge. Below is my take on it. All paper is BoBunny and so is the Snowflake Rub-on. There is lots of glitter which is a little hard to see in the picture! But if you click on the picture then you will be able to view it up close. The photo is Zachary and Juliana at Wata Farm in Quakertown PA

This challenge is an origami tree. Now, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box - so it took me a while to figure it out, but I did and I'm very happy with it!
