AC Pet Week Challenge/Liz Qualmann Sketch

This layout features my precious German Shepherd Dog, Lizzie. She is my constant companion. I took this picture to do a layout and enter it in the challenge at Scrap it With a Song the song was "Your Song" by Elton John and I was going to use the phrase "Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen" - but - I was too late and missed the challenge deadline! I have used mostly American Crafts products on my page and am entering their Pet Week Challenge. The Brown, Aqua and Floral Papers, Title, and Ribbon are all from American Crafts. I used a sketch by the awesome sketch artist Liz Qualmann from My Little Sketch Blook so will be entering her April challenge as well.

enJoy all of the spring that the April showers bring!

The Scrappiest - sketch challenge #57

Paper folded flowers

This picture was taken at Sandy's baby shower last September.

I made the paper folded flowers by punching decorative photo corners out of double sided paper, folding the flat edges against each other and gluing them to a base circle. A scalloped circle punched piece on top with a brad and they're done!

Check out some other ideas for hand made flowers at the challenge on Paper Poppy Kit Company's blog here.

You can click on the picture to see the flowers in more detail.

Guest Designer at My Little Sketch Blook

I was thrilled when Liz Qualman asked me to be one of the guest designers for her blog this week. Liz creates and posts an awesome, original sketch each week.
When she sent me this sketch, I knew that I was finally going to get this picture of Robin from her wedding day onto a layout! Bryan took this picture, and my girl is just so beautiful, I wanted the layout to be special and this was just the sketch to do it with!
This sketch is for the week beginning March 21st. I hope you're as inspired by it as I was and will do a layout with it and leave a comment on Liz's blog with a link to your work.
Also, be sure to go to her blog and see her wonderful layouts and those of the other guest designers.
