Sketch 226

Hi everyone!!!  Hope you had a happy Halloween, for those who celebrated.  Both of my boys wanted to be vampires for Halloween.  I told them only if I could may them sparkle.  :)  They even both had Seattle shirts so they wore those too.  I thought it was funny.   I tried to convince Hayden to wear jeans and go shirtless, and we'd put some spray-on tan on him and call him Jacob, but he wouldn't go for it.  :)

And then Eryn was a cute little mouse.  The costume was mine when I was a kid, for a church musical I was in.  The ears have seen better days, the wire part wouldn't really work much anymore.  But it didn't bother Eryn.

And just for fun:

It was a good night.  Well until my car died and left us a bit stranded.  But I am thankful we had people who could help in this situation.

Anyways...


Well it time for a new sketch challenge!!  You ready?  

If you are new to my sketches, here's how it works:

I essentially create three versions of one sketch each time. There will be one 12x12 scrapbook sketch, one double page sketch (12x24), and one card sketch (A4). This makes it easier for all types of crafters to participate. :)

Of course, there will be prizes.

So for today's sketches:

Sketch 226a--12x12 layout

Sketch 226b--2 page layout

Sketch 226c--card (A4)

And now for the prize up for grabs...

That is THREE full collections:

*  The Silver Valley collection from SEI  

*  The Summer City collection from The ScrapCake

*  The Sweet Childhood collection from The ScrapCake

THE RULES:

*  Your project must be newly made for this challenge, and then linked below.

*  You can use the sketches for any type of project, not just scrapbook pages or cards.

*  Please post which sketch you used with your project.

*  Feel free to combine with other challenges.  :)

*  You can enter as many times as you like.  

AND FOR BONUS ENTRIES:

*  Check out my sketchbook here.  Pick a favorite sketch and use it for an additional project.  You can do this as many times as you'd like.  These must be newly made for this challenge too.  

DEADLINE IS THURSDAY, NOV 15TH.  

I hope you play along!!  :)  

Have a fantastic day!  I will be back tomorrow to announce the winner of the last sketch challenge.

Home For Christmas

I know, I know...it's not even Halloween yet and I am here today talking about Christmas.  :)  Well I know that I am not the first, Christmas cards have been popping up everywhere.  I can't wait.  I try hard to wait until after Halloween to listen to Christmas music, but I must admit, I've already snuck a few songs in.  ;)  I realized that I never scrapped last year's Christmas photos.  And the fabulous Home For Christmas collection from Fancy Pants was sitting right there on my desk, so I pulled them out.

So here's a new layout:

I must admit...this was one of those layouts that did not come together super quickly.  I was never happy with what I made so I would take parts off and keep trying again.  Over and over again.  We all have those layouts.

Anyways, here are some close up's of my layout:

And then I also made a card using the same collection.  I used my sketch here, 225c.  THERE'S STILL TIME TO PLAY ALONG WITH MY SKETCH CHALLENGE!!!  Entries must be received by midnight tomorrow night to be eligible for the prize.

Here's my card:

Well thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a fabulous day!!

Fabulous Fall

I love it!

Fall is my favorite time of the year!  I love the colors and the smells.  I love the cool crisp air.  I love it all.  And it's easy to capture beautiful photos...love that too.  Our fall seems to have come and gone though.  It's cold and snowy here this week.  Oh well.

Well I made it into my craft room!  I decided to make a layout based on my sketch 225a here.   Which, by the way, there is still time to play along with for a prize.  :)

Here's my layout:

I used the fabulous Hopscotch collection from Fancy Pants for my layout.  Yep...still playing with this collection, I just love it!  :)

Here are some close up's of my layout:

After I stitched the word fall, I painted the insides of the letters white to help it stand out a little more...plus I think it looks cool.  :)

Well thanks for stopping in today!
Have a fabulous fall!

Sketch Challenge: Sketch 225

Well I've spent a bunch of time collecting all my old sketches on my computer and putting them all in a document. It was more work than I expected, but at least I have them all in one place now. I've lost a few, and because of that they've been renumbered. But that's ok. You can check them all out here.

And I made new sketches for a new sketch challenge!

Here's the way I've decided to run my sketch challenges on my blog. I essentially create three versions of one sketch each time. There will be one 12x12 scrapbook sketch, one double page sketch (12x24), and one card sketch (A4). This makes it easier for all types of crafters to participate. :)

So for today's sketches:

(12 x 12 Layout)

Sketch 225a

(Double Page Layout)

Sketch 225b

(Card)

Sketch 225c

And now for the prize up for grabs...

This is the Clippings collection from BasicGrey.  :)

THE RULES:

*  Your project must be newly made for this challenge, and then linked below.

*  You can use the sketches for any type of project, not just scrapbook pages or cards.
