Got Game?

For this layout. I used the current sketch from The Paper Variety. These are photos from Tyler's very first football game during his first season. The boy on the other team was so much bigger than he was, but he just kept giving it his all.

Here is the link to the blog if you want to play along with the sketch.

Got Sketch? sketch #143

I used this week's sketch from the Got Sketch? blog for this layout. It is sketch #143. These are pictures of Tyler entertaining himself at my grandma's house by following the path made by the brick border stones along the front of the house. He was on patrol and it kept him busy while daddy and grandpa worked on the car.

Here is a link to the site to play along with this sketch. http://gotsketch.blogspot.com/2012/05/challenge-sketch-143.html

Basic Grey NSD 2012 Friday Sketch Challenge

I created this layout for Basic Grey's Friday sketch challenge. I love this sketch and will possibly be using it again. I used the Elderflower paper from the Marrakech collection for this layout.

Basic Grey NSD 2012 Vintage Challenge

I created this layout for the Basic Grey challenge to use vintage Basic Grey papers. I used the wide tie paper from the Boxer collection for this one.

Basic Grey NSD 2012 Saturday Sketch Challenge

I loved the sketch they gave for us to use. On this page I used banana frost paper from the Lime Rickey collection and Offbeat patterned paper. They both worked great with the photos I had of the Easter cupcakes I made for our school carnival.

Some New Layouts

I have actually been able to make time to scrap this last week, and have been pretty happy with what I got accomplished.



This layout was done using a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches. While we were visiting all the car shows last year, this one was one of Tyler's favorites. He insisted I take many pictures of it- the motor, tires, exhaust, seats, shifter, etc. He really wanted to be able to see it later. And he did, cause we ran into it at several car shows over the summer.

This layout was done for a Scrap Whisper's challenge to document a change, and I used a Page Maps sketch, He is growing up so quickly. Now he constantly tells me, I am grown now Mom, I can help.

This was a Sketchy Thursday's sketch. These are pictures from my sister's engagement party. She plans to get married at a lighthouse and her colors will be sky blue and sandy brown, so that is what I used on the layout.

This layout was done for the Let's Scrap blog hop challenge at LotsToScrap blog. The challenge was to do a layout using green and yellow. I used another Page Maps sketch. These are pictures of Tyler and my cousins children at an Easter Egg Hunt at my aunt's house.

This was another Let's Scrap blog hop layout. The challenge was from Scarlett's Scrapoirs blog to do a monochromatic layout and use a Let's Scrap sketch. The pic is of Tyler picking flowers for my grandmother.

Another Let's Scrap blog hop layout. This is for the challenge at Five Tulips blog. She gave us a layout to be inspired by. This is a picture of Tyler playing the balloon toss at Shawn's company picnic.

Another Let's Scrap blog hop layout. This was for the challenge at Younique Reflections blog to use the Let's Scrap sketch she provided and stitching. My stitching is rub ons. The pic is of Brittany's band concert when she was playing the tuba.


This layout is for the Sketchy Thursday's June GDT Challenge. I really love their skeetches. This is just a random picture of Tyler and my dad playing with tools.
