Lil' Lady Bug

As promised here is my companion page to my Katie Bug page! For this page I used My Mind's Eye patterned papers and Basic Grey Basics background paper and stickers. The butterflies and word "discover" are from some old rub ons (I think 7 gypsies). Letter stickers are thickers. This page was inspired by this great layout by Amy! We were doing another fun game of Six Degrees of Separation, and for those of you who don't know what that game is, it is where you are given a layout to lift and then your lift is passed on for someone else to lift and so on and so forth until the original layout has been lifting SIX times! So fun to see the changes in the lifts! I really enjoy this game and am currently in another round, so when it is over I will share that layout as well! These pictures are from Halloween 2008, and I just adore red and black, so elegant don't ya think? Well, tomorrow's another week, and another reveal over at the Scrappiest, so tune in tomorrow for more sketchy fun!

sketch 72 ~ Katie Bug

Happy Monday and Happy July everyone! For my American friends hope your fourth was a blast!!!! (hehe!) I just love it that Liz releases her sketches on Monday, just sets the week off to a good start don't you think? For sketch 72 I was in a bit of a rush as I had a BIG weekend of festivities planned with little time to scrapbook, so I grabbed the first two pics lying on my desk and got to work. Well, with this sketch it was super easy...I used mostly OLD OLD stash on this page, these papers are My Mind's Eye and from a 2007 Personalscrapper kit...the only NEW thing is my Jenni Bowlin banner and little red letter stickers...so IN LOVE with these things, I actually have to resist putting banners on every page I do! LOL! These pictures are from 2008 and are of my sweet little niece and my son...just loved this costume on her! I have a companion page to show you later in the week so check back in real soon, hoping to catch up on sharing some layouts with you this week! And if you like good deals head over to my other blog, 31 has two great specials this month!

Sketch 71 ~ Dough Boys

Here is my take on this week's sketch at The Scrappiest! I used my May It's Scraptacular kit featuring Bella Blvd's Man of the House papers to scrap these funny pictures of my son and newphew at a yummy Mexican food restaurant we love on New Year's Eve 2007. I love the simplicity of this sketch. Everything is from the kit but the Thickers which are from my stash in one of my fav fonts called "Giggles". Hope you will play along with us, would love to see your interpretations of the sketch and who knows maybe you will get lucky and win the fab prize from ScrapbookDeals4U! Have a fantabulous Monday everyone!

Sketchy Friday!

Once again I am honored to have my sketch up at Practical Scrappers! I hope you will join us and play along for a chance to win an awesome prize from Lucky Girl Crafts! This is really another awesome prize offered by the lovely Practical Scrappers sponsors! This layout uses more fun goodies from my June Personalscrapper kit featuring Fancy Pants' Rusted Sun papers. The letters are Thickers from the kit and the quote block is from Fancy Pants. I also used the "You Crack Me Up" (Scenic Route) sticker from an older Personalscrapper kit and a piece of misc chipboard flourish from my stash. I can't wait to see what everyone creates from the sketch! Have a great weekend everyone, I hope to get a few more challenges complete this weekend, some really great prizes on all these fun challenge sites, I feel like a kid in a candy shop! LOL!

Flower Challenge

Here is a layout I did for this week's flower challenge over at Practical Scrappers. This layout was made from a kit featured on the Scrapbooks on the Go website using Crate Paper Samantha papers. This layout was also based on one of my exclusive sketches for the Sketches 101 class that I taught at the recent Scrapbooks on the Go crop. I just love the quote on the side of the page and think the flower sets it off really well. The middle of the flower is a jumbo eyelet from Stampin Up. Feel free to use the sketch and make it your own and then give me a shout out in the comments, I would love to see what you come up with!

Sketch 70 ~ My Best Friend Forever

Happy Monday and Happy First Day of summer! Sure feels like the first day of summer here in Texas LOL! This layout was made using my recent photos of our trip to see my newest nephew in Nebraska! Isn't he a QT? This is my son holding him! I used my SUPER FUN June kit from It's Scraptacular! This kit was filled to the brim with Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety and the new Pebbles Treehouse line! Super bright, cheery and perfect for you summer photos! Letter stickers were the only thing not in the kit and they are from October Afternoon. We had an awesome time croppin' on Saturday! I met some great ladies and can't wait to crop with them again. I got a lot done and am planning on attending again in July on the 17th! The registration should be opening soon at Scrapbooks on the Go, hope to see you there!
