A couple more from Scrapbook Challenges

I have been so inspired by the sketches at Scrapbook Challenges this month.

Here is Sketch 445:

And here is my take on it...
Logan has discovered his love for tools and putting together things.

The 2nd sketch is #443:

And again my take on it...

Trying desperately to get my 2010 Mexico album done!!

Time for another Scrapbook Challenge...

I am a sucker for a good sketch and at Scrapbook Challenges, they have an abundance!  Here is the latest sketch (a Flashback Friday):

And here is what I came up with... (yes, MORE Disney pictures!!)

Thanks for stopping by!!



Another Flashback Friday

Scrapbook Challenges has a wonderful sketch this week for Flashback Friday:

When I saw it, I knew this was the perfect sketch for my Florida pictures.  There are so many iguanas down there that I found myself obsessed with taking pictures of them!!

This was also a perfect opportunity to dive into my older stash and mix it up a bit!  Always good to thin the pile before you restock, right?

Birthday Burger

When Logan turned 13, he didn't want a birthday party...he wanted to go to Bagger Dave's and build the "perfect" hamburger.  So that is just what we did!!

To highlight his accomplishment, I used this sketch from Sketch N Scrap:

 

For the design, I dug DEEP into my stash for some older Teresa Collins recipe papers and mixed some old embellishments with some new.  I was especially pleased with the clock from Um Wow. 

 

So here is what I came up with...

 

 

I love the shabby chic feel to the layout.  I am an embellishment fanatic and the sketch allowed for so many fun elements!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Feel free to follow along to see what else I come up with! :)

Super Hero Sketches!

Hello All!  Today I wanted to show you a layout I did with a sketch from My Creative Sketches: (by the way, I am in LOVE with their kits, even if I didn't use it on this particular layout)...

 

When I saw this sketch that included the stars, the comic-geek in me knew I needed to work on my Universal album and get our super hero pictures scrapped!!  I obviously added one picture to the sketch, but I have to say, I am happy with the way it turned out.  I used some specialty papers and some OLD Rusty Pickle (I miss that company!!)  So here it is...(do you "get" my title??)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I loved this sketch at Scrapbook Challenges



I immediately thought about my shopping trip this past January in Key West with my daughter.  We went in to the Coach store to drool and came out with quite the haul!  The sale flyer is on the layout, but the entire store was 50% off and if you bought a clearance bag, it was an ADDITIONAL 40% off the sale price.  SCORE!!!!!!  Even better...my daughter and I got to purchase our first Coach bags together.  Mother-daughter bonding at its finest!!

I used my Pazzle to cut out all these handbags and I have to say...I really like them!  Sometimes what I picture in my head doesn't translate to paper...but this time I think it actually did!  Winning! :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!

Catching up on school photos with The Memory Nest

I have so many unfinished albums that sometimes I feel like I have ADD when I am scrapping and trying to get them done.  I go from Disney to...SQUIRREL...to school to... You get the picture! :)

So for TODAY, I am working on school albums.  I wanted to get all of Bailee's school albums done BEFORE graduation, but since she has been out of high school a YEAR now, I suppose I should get a move on!

So I saw this awesome sketch at The Memory Nest:


...and this is what I came up with... (I dug DEEP into my stash for this page)

One more done...several more to go!

Thanks for stopping by!
