My Little Sketch Book

I am so honored to be the Featured Guest Designer over at My Little Sketch Book today! Liz's sketches are so fun, so inspiring and so user friendly! Absolutely LOVE them! I used My Mind's Eye So Sophie line for this page and embellishments and letter stickers from Jenni Bowlin and American Crafts. My favorite accent on this page was the burlap fabric I used to accent the larger picture, so fun to use up your stash isn't it??? I have had this fabric for a few years now and so glad to actually use it!! These pictures were taken by my sister in law in October when we went to visit my brother and his family in Nebraska, we LOVE roasting marshmallows in their fire pit, a quiet relaxing time, and some simple moments I don't want to forget! I want to thank Liz for having me as a guest designer this week, it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to sharing some other work with you in the next few weeks! And don't forget to hop on over the My Little Sketch book to see what Liz and the other designer's did with this week's sketch, I know you will love it as much as I did! Have a wonderful week my friends!

My Little Sketch Book

I am so excited to be guest designing on Liz Qualman's My Little Sketch Book this week! I just adore Liz's sketches, they are super fun to work with. This sketch was a bit of a challenge for me as it had lots of layering, getting me to step outside my box a bit...but that's a good thing for me and I was excited to play witht his sketch. I chose to use these pictures of my son feeding my nephew his breakfast at our hotel last June when we went to visit. I wanted a "sports" feel to my page as I was using the title Breakfast of Champs...so I decided to use my new Pink Paislee Starlight papers and embellies to capture that feel. I love the way it turned out. These papers are so versatile and not just for July 4th layouts! Go check out the beautiful work of the other designers (here), they are both awesome! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday afternoon and hopefully I will be back sooner rather then later to share some more scrappy goodness!

My Little Sketch Book

I was so honored to be a guest designer today on Liz Qualman's sketch blog, My Little Sketch Book. I almost couldn't believe how today's sketch fit my style! I even convinced myself she must of designed it specifically for me! LOL! I have wanted to scrap these pictures for awhile now but was having a hard time doing a one page layout with all 3 photos, and stretching it to a 2 pager didn't work either, so when I saw this sketch I knew that I could use them FINALLY! All papers are by October Afternoon and are from my September 2009 Personalscrapper kit. The stickers are also October Afternoon from the Cherry Hill collection, that I won on the October Afternoon blog recently. Those mini letters stickers are the new October Afternoon stickers that were also in my prize package (lucky me huh?) The red foam stickers are Thickers. I hope you can take a few minutes and drop by Liz's blog and see what the other two designers did with the sketch, they are AWESOME, leaving me wondering "why didn't I think of that", just goes to show you how one sketch in 3 different hands can turn into something totally different! Enjoy the last few hours of your weekend and tune in tomorrow for another fun layout!

My Little Sketch Book fun

Have had a great weekend so far, gonna be sad to see it come to an end....but I did get a chance to play along with another fun sketch over at My Little Sketch Book. This sketch is by Liz Qualman, and I thought it was perfect for this picture of my son from last year! Just love this pic of him! I used Pink Paislee Cupid punch outs, Making Memories Lovestruck papers, and alphabets by Making Memories and October Afternoon. Everything but the October Afternoon letters were from the February Personalscrapper kit. Hope you were able to find some creative time for yourself this weekend as well! Have a great Sunday everyone!
