Giraffe Name Plate

Hey Everyone,

Today Ia'm here to share another name plate I made for a co-worker.

I have been super busy with these things. 

Baby Gift Item - Name Plate

Just stopping by to share a name plate that I made for a co-worker, who is pregnant.

Monkey's are very big right now. Which works for me because another co-worker is also pregnant and will get a similar name plate for her twins. They are keeping me busy at work.

I found this piece of wood at Michael's.

It is 12x24

Perfect size for a name plate to hang in the new nursery. 

Sweet & Sassy

 Hey Everyone!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day Weekend!

I recently joined a photo swap over at My Scrapbook Nook!
I was given great pictures to work with!!

I love the idea of taking two sketches and merging them. I know a lot of people have issues with 2-page layouts so I wanted to show that you can really put anything together and it will turn out great. 

I love the colors in this layout and if I dont tell you that this is Christmas paper, you would never know! The pattern patter is basic grey eskimo kisses line.

I used Sketchy Thursdays 9.1 Sketch Challenge for the left side

I covered up the face on this LO because this Layout is for someone else and I did not want to put their photos out there. However in this picture she has a really sweet smile.

I used Sketchabilites sketch 54 for the right side

When I saw these photos, she has a great smile, but it looks a little more sassy. She is 14 so I am sure that there are times when she is Sweet but more often there are times when she is sassy.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the short work week!

The sketch was great for these two pictures of Ebony on the bed. I went into the guest room to fold the clothes and there she was, as usual, sleeping on the clothes. This time her head was under the pillow. I had opened the blinds early in the day, so the room was very bright.

Let's Get Peachy Sketch

Hey Everyone,

Check out Let's Get Peachy!


I hope you have enjoyed your week so far. Hopefully you will have time this weekend to work on this sketch. I have to tell you that this sketch was a little difficult for me. I rarely use only one photo on a page and when I do, it is a 5x7 or larger. So I was a little worried how the layout would come out. However after I completed it, I really enjoy the white space that is left from the 4x6 photo.

These pictures are of my nephew. We were waiting for the fireworks to start 4th of July 2008. He loves being thrown in the air. He was giggling so much while I was doing this.

I stayed away from traditional July 4th supplies for two reasons. The first being I have a ton of pictures from the day that include other activities and second I wanted to show that even if you have pictures from a certain event, it did not need to be scrapbooked for that event.

Thanks for looking and I hope the sketch and my layout gives you inspiration.
