All of these layouts were done for challenges over at My Scraps and More.

I used a Sketchabilities sketch for this.

Hello again!

I had a chance to create two more layouts using challenges over at My Scraps and More. They are having loads of challenges with a deadline of July 5. Get on over there and see if there's anything you'd like to create. Be sure and checkout the sale they're having as well.

I did a Word Up Wednesday challenge using "Good Times".

I also did a Throw back Thursday using 10 brads.

Thanks for stopping in!

I've been feeling SCRAPPY-Fever coming on for quite some time, but I don't seem to be able to nip it in the bud.

However...I had to give it a go today. I found an older challenge over at My Scraps & More and decided to whip everything out and snatch some time away from not-so-fun stuff like cleaning/laundry.

Back in April 2015 My Scraps and More had a Sketch-a-Thon. I chose challenge #24 with a sketch by Lisa Moen. The added challenge was to scrap about myself, which I'm not particularly fond of, but whatever.

Thanks for stopping by!

I would love to share the following link with you for a crop at My Scraps & More. I plan on participating and hope you'll join in as well.

 

Our family took a trip to Benezette, PA to observe the elk. We were able to hear a little bugling in the early morning, but only saw a couple elk. We did hike for two hours as well.

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple layouts I did recently.

 

This is a sketch from Nuts About Sketches.

 

 

This is a sketch from Page Drafts, which I LOVE!

I woke up to an awesome sketch posted at My Scraps and More. I struggle with certain people's sketches, but not Audrey Yeager's! This was perfect for my project.

I joined in on the Birthday Kit swap this time around. I received the following kit from Tabitha, which included 6 x 6 papers:

 

Here is Sketch #16 by Audrey Yeager - the extra twist is to use numbers, but not in your title or journaling.



 

Here's what I came up with using mist, which Tabitha requested when she sent my kit. The only things I used that weren't in the kit, was the blue alpha, mist and the white background cardstock.

I have a couple more sketches and layouts created for the awesome Sketch-a-Thon over at My Scraps & More. I have completed 11/15 challenges so far.

 

Here's a card sketch by Bev Code. The twist was to use twine.

 

 

Here's a sketch by Wendi Robinson. The twist was to use a birthday cake on it or in the photo.

 

Look how cute Blake is blowing out his candles at the age of 5.

I was lucky enough to attend yet another Scrapday on Saturday...always a pleasure!

Here's what I accomplished.

My Scraps & More - Sketch-a-Thon Sketch #7 by Diana Fisher - the extra twist was this was 2 main colors and then neutrals.

 

My Scraps & More - Sketch-a-Thon Sketch #8 by Tammi Bennett - the extra twist was to use some stitching.

 

 

My Scraps & More - Sketch-a-Thon Sketch #9 by Wendi Robinson - the extra twist was to use two inks/mists/paints.

 

This is a picture from left to right of William R. Stiles, Corey A. Stiles, David A. Stiles

Edited to add another sketch....

It was another great sketch to work with over at My Scraps & More yesterday.

This is sketch #5 created by Wendi Robinson. The twist on this was to only use 2 photos...no more or less.

 

Here is what I created using Basicgrey's Lime Rickey. This is Kaila and Amber way back in 2007 on Thanksgiving day. They brought their basic necessities. I find that really cute for a 4 and almost 5 year old.

 

 

This is Sketch #6 over at My Scraps & More created by Missy Whidden.

 

 

I used papers by Shabby Princess...shocking, I know. These photos are from 2007. It's hard to believe and see how much he's grown since then.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

We're having a great time over at My Scraps and More, if you'd like to join us. We're having a month of sketches ;)  Tell them I sent you!

This is sketch #2 by Tracy Rhodes. The twist on this sketch was to have two sets of two somewhere on the page and I chose the hearts. I have to mention that the papers I used are fairly old. IThey are the Basicgrey Urban Couture.

 

This is sketch #4 by Lisa Moen. The twist on this was to have two tickets. I flipped the sketch because of the way Kaila is facing.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have to share some photos from Kaila's cheer clinic last weekend. The girls did such a nice job and had a great time.
