Me and Willie/Let's Get Sketchy

It's not the real Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty. It is just a cardboard cut out we found at Wal-Mart. Of course, I put Noah beside it and got him to pose and the whole time I am thinking this is going to be great for a scrapbook layout. Does anyone else do this? I used the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. I used Later Sk8r from Close to my Heart.  The thickers are from American Crafts. The flair buttons are from a kit I purchased a while back. Here is the sketch and my layout.

Pals for Life/Scrap Our Stash

The challenge for Scrap Our Stash is to use the sketch and to use bling.  The photos I used are of my son Noah and his friend Kaleb. They had fun swimming ALL day! The supplies I used are Doodlebug, Bazzill, and Tim Holtz. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Big Shark/Life.Paper.Scrapbook.

I created this layout from a sketch from the blog Life.Paper.Scrapbook.  I decided to use pictures of my son from our vacation. He is fascinated by sharks, real or fake.  I used Bo Bunny's Key Lime.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Ready Set Go/Let's Get Sketchy

For this layout I used the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy blog.  I used Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go.  I just need to add some journaling.  I used pictures from when my son was one. I can't believe he is seven now. Where does the time go? I also can't believe I have never used these in a layout. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

  

Mr. Sparks/Sketch-N-Scrap

For the second sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap for July I used pictures from the first time I met Nicholas Sparks.  He is the author of many books that have been made into movies such as The Notebook, Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember.  I came across these pictures and realized I had not scrapped them! I used Echo Park's For the Record Collection.  Even though the sketch called for 3 pictures I only used 2.

Life is Good/Let's Get Sketchy

Today's layout is based on the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. Here is the sketch and my layout:

I used Fancy Pants Designs The Good Life collection.  Instead of cutting the photograph horizontal like the sketch, I cut it vertically.  This photo is from our trip to the beach. I never get tired of taking pictures of the beautiful sunsets at the beach.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Our Day/Sketch-N-Scrap

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone is having a great day. It is pouring down raining here and will be most of the day. We are going to attempt to cook out later. Hopefully the rain will lighten up later for some fireworks. Sadly most of our day will probably be infront of the TV. Anyway, here is a layout I did using Sketch-N-Scrap's sketch for their challenge. 



                      

The supplies I used are Crate Paper, Tim Holtz, Technique Tuesday/Ali Edwards, Little Yellow Bicycle, Studio G and Bazzill. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Captain Noah/Let's Get Sketchy

I love these pictures of Noah even though you can't see his face. Recently we took a vacation to the beach. One afternoon we took a boat ride on the Sea Blaster.  It was fun, but the best part was watching Noah get to drive the boat. I used a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy by their sketch designer Bev Code.  I used supplies by Echo Park, Making Memories, Studio Calico, Heidi Swapp, Jenni Bowlin and Tim Holtz.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

                            

My Guys

I have entered this layout in two challenges, Sketch N Scrap and About A Boy Scrapbook Challenge. This layout is based on the sketch from Brenshevia the sketch artist at Sketch N Scrap. About A Boy's challenge was to use circles.  The pictures are of my son and husband from Father's Day.  Yes, my son is holding a sheet cake. My son, with my help, baked him a cake! My husband loved it!! I used Teresa Collins' He Said She Said collection. I inked the edges of the pattern paper using Kaisercraft's Sepia. The thickets are from Amy Tangerine called Muse. The circle stamp is Good Day by Ali Edwards. I used Tim Holtz's Barn Door Distress Ink.   I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

                                

The Pier/Scrap Our Stash

Scrap Our Stash has a unique challenge. You must create a layout using this sketch:

While creating the layout you must use scraps only and include:

*A pre-made (purchased) tag and/or per-made (purchased) journaling card or

*Twine or jute

Here is my layout:

The background paper is from The Loft. I love it because it reminds of the boards on the pier.  The three pieces of pattern paper are also from The Paper Loft's collection The Zone.  The background of the pictures are from Heidi Swapp. The tag is school themed journaling tag that I have had for so long I can't remember where it came from! All I need to do is to add journaling. I hope you like it and thanks  for stopping by!

Waves/Let's Get Sketchy Challenge

This week at Let's Get Sketchy they have a cute little sketch featuring three places for pictures.  I used Bo Bunny's Key Lime and Turqoise Dot on a piece of white cardstock. These pictures are of my son and husband in the water. This was my son's second beach trip in four years. There was a rip current and the life guards would only let people go into the water at certain spots.  Noah lasted about twenty minutes in the ocean until he asked if we go go to the pool where we stayed the remainder of the day!  I hope you my layout and thanks for stopping by!

The Best/Let's Get Sketchy

With Father's Day coming up I decided to do a layout on my husband using the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy.  I love this sketch!! My husband does not like having his picture taken.  Trying to get him to look at me or even smile is like pulling teeth!  I didn't have as many pictures as what the sketch called for so I decided to use fewer pictures.  I used Jillibean Soup's Macho Nacho collection and a button dot from Little Yellow Bicycle's Naturals collection. I still have journaling to do on the card.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Fall/Life.Paper.Scrapbook

I was intrigued by this sketch by Life. Paper. Scrapbook.  Here is the sketch:

                                 

I did my layout a little different.  I used pictures of some of my favorite things about fall that I had taken this past October.  Yes, I am trying to play catch up!  Instead of the circles I used a banner.  I used Simple Stories Harvest Lane. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Still

I created this layout from a sketch by Frosted Designs for a challenge.  Here is the sketch and my layout:

There is a twist with this challenge. You have to use something with wings on the layout.  It could be a butterfly, airplane, bird, etc.  As I was looking through my photos trying to decide what to use, I found a picture of a butterfly. I took this picture last week on our trip to the zoo.  What luck!  I used Crate Paper's Restoration Collection.  I used some bling from Prima and the alphas are from Fancy Pants.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

100% Happy

Frosted Designs Blog Hop

Frosted Designs is having a blog hop.  I really enjoyed this blog hop!  First we had to hop to each blog then make a project using this sketch:

Next you had to pick 3 items/techniques to use on your project.  You also had to go to the sponsors, Molossi and Graphic 45, facebook pages and show a little love. Here is my layout:

On my layout I used masking and  stamping for my techniques.  For my items I used pearls/bling, patterned paper, and ink.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!!

About A Boy-Chevron/Our Moments

During Spring Break I took my son to the movies. There was a photo booth. We had never done this before. It was so much fun and I suggest to everyone to try it. This month for About A Boy Challenge was to use chevron. Because of the film strip photos it reminded me of a bulletin board. I used pieces from Simple Stories's 24/7 collection. I love this line! I used a piece of cork stykle cardstock for the background. I hope you like it!
