A new Sketch!

This week's sketch just screamed to me to do a page for Addy's 5th birthday. The only thing that I've scrapped yet from her birthday was her birthday chickens. Yep my granddaughter wanted chickens for her birthday- thus the cake topper- Happy Birthday Chick! And this chick is 8 months behind on scrapping a page from her party!! So this week's sketch was perfect to showcase the fact that she's now 5!

Here's the sketch for the week-

 And here's the layout that I made with it-

September is here with a new Design Team Challenge!

Wow- where did August go? One minute it was the 4th of July it seems and now it's almost time for me to put up fall decorations. I'm not really ready to yet- summer seemed too short this year! So for this week's design team sketch, I decided to stick with a summer theme and scrapbook my granddaughter playing in the sand at the lake. She's always more interested in the sand than the water I think!

Here's this week's sketch-

And here's my take on it!

New Sketch for the Week!

My Mom called and asked me if I had any birthday cards "in stock". Luckily for her, I was working on this week's challenge and decided to turn it into a birthday card for her friend. I quickly switched colors. I was going for a brighter look- but my Mom is a muted, natural color lover! I put together the flowers out of a bunch of Primas that I had and then threw in some fabric ones. I really hope that her friend loves it. She's one of Mom's oldest friends from childhood, so I wanted it to be really special! Hope you enjoy it!!

This week's sketch-

And my take on it!

I really love flowers so I ended up following the sketch pretty closely this week!

And you might get one of those pretty badges like I have for the top three!

A challenge and an anniversary

Our anniversary is coming up on Friday, so I needed to be thinking about a card. I decided to use this week's sketch and kill 2 birds with one stone. Usually I'm the one that's waiting until the last minute to make a card for a special occasion. Not this time! I'm ahead of the game! Here's the sketch for the week-

And then here's the card that I made with it-

I love retro stuff and fell in love with this couple from the Silhouette store. I used some crystal Stickles to give the letters a little pop.
