SSC Weekly Sketch Challenge

 Check out this great sketch at Simply Scrapping Crafts.

I have started working on my Week in the Life pictures. In Sept 2010 I decided to use Ali Edwards week in the life album to document my journey though my week in the life. I used her idea as a jumping off point and over the next few weeks/months (not sure how long it is going to take) I am going to put this album together.

Luckily I have the sketches over at SSC to help with inspiration.

So her is the first layout for the album. I started my week on Saturday. This is me at Kate's house scrapbooking. That is a good way to start the week.

The first day layout will contain 3 things I am grateful for.
That day it happen to be:
For a husband who understands my obsession with scrapbooking and accepts me for who I am
Two of the greatest dogs - Ebony and Kahlua
Scrapbook friends who laugh until my side hurts! What had happen was....

Let's Get Peachy - April Challenge

Hey Everyone,

Check out Let's Get Peachy!

Hey Everyone,
When I learned of this month assignment, I know exactly which Cricut Cartridge I was going to use. I knew that I wanted to use ‘A Child’s Year.’ I got this cartridge mainly for the font. I did not really care for the images as I do not have children. I figured I might use some of them on the nephew’s pages as well. I love how this card came out. I cut the image and laid it on the card. Then sprayed glitter spray over it. I used a little bit of stickles to give it some details.

Thanks for looking and I hope this gives you inspiration.



Some of the products used…

ATG gun
Cricut Cartridge ‘A Child’s Year’
White paper studio cardstock
Close To My Heart birthday stamp
