A Few More Sketches!

I just wanted to share with you a few more sketches and layouts from this month!  Thanks for looking!

This layout if of my nieces and was based on the following sketch (rotated) from Nuts About Sketches!

This layout is based on a sketch from the same site - I just love this place - though I only did the left side of the two pager.  Unfortunately, our Walgreens had some issues with their photo machine so I didn't get to scrap the photos intended for this challenge but I still love the results!

This photo is of myself and my daughter on "Dress like your parent" day at school!  We look so much alike here!!!

Out with the Old!

This is one of my favorite time of the scrappy year!  I love that all of the Christmas gifts have been created and dished out and now I can refocus on my scrapping!  I also love that each year, Cookin' Up Creations has their month of challenges that focus on using (and reducing) your stash.  I love to challenge myself to use my scraps on a daily basis and can't wait for the challenges to begin!  Come join us!

CUC's New Theme for December

Show and Share - a few new layouts!

I just wanted to share a few new layouts that I have created!  All of these were fall themed layout and I thought that I had better share since fall is almost completely gone in Northern Michigan!!  I hope that you like them!

A Halloweenie Good Time!

I just wanted to share a few Halloween themed layouts that I created lately.  The first is one of my son listening to his least favorite song.  Around Halloween every year, the radio station plays the Dogman Song. It is about a dog that walks upright and terrorizes and kills people in the Upper and Northern Lower Peninsula. The song has ALWAYS terrified children in our area (to the point that the kids would sleep with a baseball bat next to their bed around Halloween time.) When the song comes on, to this day, my son freaks out. We had to document it!  This layout was based on a sketch from NAS!

 The second is my daughter dressing up for likely her last Halloween.  She found these glasses last year and just knew she wanted to be a Hippie for Halloween!
