Family/Sketch~N~Scrap

OMG....I'm Late!  I knew it was coming...but really....how did August 1st get here?  My life is crazy right now and I can't seem to keep things straight. But enough about that, let's get to another great sketch by Sketch~N~Scrap.

Here is August 1st sketch...isn't it great?

And here is my take on it.

I used the oldie but goody Restoration collection by Crate Paper.  It went so well with the photo. Like it was meant to be.  

Recently I went to Michigan. This was the first time since 1999 that all five of us kids were with my mom.

 Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to head over to Sketch~N~Scrap to check out the other designers creations. And don't forget to get yours loaded before the end of August.

Too Fun/Sketch~N~Scrap

It's that time again. What time you ask?  Time for another awesome sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap.  Kelly Holifield created this fabulous sketch that sparked my creativity.

I had a lot of fun putting together this layout. I absolutely LOVE these snapshots I took of Dax and Josslyn.  By the time I'm done taking pictures of everyone wearing these silly glasses, I'll have a whole album filled.

Isn't that wood veneer mustache too cute?  I inked it slightly to highlight it a bit. And those stars....love 'em!  they are the Artisan Elements by Pink Pasilee. I love how they come all white, then when you ink them there is a resist on them and a pattern shows up.  

As always, be sure to stop by Sketch~N~Scrap to see the other designers projects. And be sure to upload your take of the sketch for at chance at the prize from Paper Secrets.

Sketch~N~Scrap Reveal!

I am excited to bring you my first reveal as a new Design Team member with Sketch~N~Scrap. I don't feel I brought full justice to the sketch, I had to go to Michigan for a family medical procedure. I tried to pack everything that I thought I would need to meet my commitment, but once there, I didn't have anything I wanted!   go figure huh?

So anyway, here is the sketch.

Here is my take

Not only am I not completely happy with the results, I couldn't get any good lighting for photographing it.

Be sure to stop by Sketch~N~Scrap to see what the other designers created. Plus, don't forget to upload your take on the sketch for a chance at the prize from Paper Secrets.

A Cousins Love

Kalista loves to terrorize her cousin Dax, as you can see in these pictures. But if truth be known, Dax loves it too.  LOL

I loosely used the new sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap for this layout. I love the sketch and already have another layout churning in my mind.

You should head over and see the DT takes on the sketch. They are very inspiring.
