ANOTHER sketch layout! (2/25/10)

I'm really having fun with Sketchy Thursdays - I've added the link to the sidebar so if you want to check them out just click there!

this is "build". Braden spent the entire day building - legos, blocks, and tinker-toys. I photographed his plane because I thought it was so inventive of him!

Valentine Photos.

Hailee asked for all of us to go to her Valentine party at school. I, of course, was already going - but she gave Darren the face he can't resist so along he went with Braden right behind. Not sure why she wanted us there, she only said a few words to us LOL. But here's her haul after she got home. Not bad -


Poor Braden - not sure why HE didn't get a box full of love, too! We just keep reminding him "next year" hoping he'll be satisfied with that answer.



I didn't get a photo of the kids with their Valentine lollipops that I "decorated" with my custom wrapping before they tore into them - just know they looked cute! lol but, my roses I did photograph! The pictures don't do the colors justice - the pink, orange, and yellow are just BEAUTIFUL!!! thank you, honey dear!!!!!

better than winning...

Sketchy Thursdays post today revealed the winner of the awesome kit - it wasn't me. BUT my layout was chosen as one of the favorites! How awesome is that? and they had almost 70 entries this week! I'm really honored and flattered.

Thanks girls!!!!

Early Bird.

I pulled out the YUMMY papers from Cosmo Cricket today. Early Bird is a gorgeous collection with fun colors and fantastic patterns! I'm not going to put it away yet - I have more plans for it! but I had to get a card done, and here is the one I made.

{Cosmo Cricket papers, Fiskars punches, Vintage seam binding and lace, button and pins, Studio G stamps, Stampin' Up ink, Papertrey Ink twine}

a new layout.

I made this layout just because I wanted to. No sketch. No sponsor product. No deadline. and it was FUN! In a magazine or on a blog I saw someone layer paper strips - that's not new to me, but layering paper strips cut from the same paper is....and I have to say, I like it!

This is Markie, Kimmie's son. The picture came in our Christmas card and I knew right away I would scrap it....Less than 2 months later i did it!

I also did the same thing on a card, but for that one I used sponsor product so you won't see it until April 1st!!!! Talk about getting a head start!!!

Happy Tuesday ♥
