Lasting Memories Sketch

Good Morning!

(Normally I wouldn't do two posts in one day, but for some reason with bloggers new layout my scheduled posts don't post. Hopefully I'll figure out why soon and fix it.)

Today I'm following an awesome sketch over at Lasting memories.

 

As soon as I seen this sketch, so many ideas popped into my head!  When I get caught up on other things I may have to do another page with this sketch.  I would love to do a floral layout.

For this one I decided to go with browns and copper and do a layout of my Husband and Grandson. 

I used a spellbinders die for the circle doily, my cricut for the egg and grass and some leftover stickers from years ago. On the side of the picture, I created a pocket for my journal tag and added a little ribbon for the pull tab.

PageMaps sketch

Good Morning! There is a sketch over a PageMaps for a Bella Blvd contest, HERE. I tried several days ago to follow it, here, but it just didn't turn out the way I had planned, so I tried it again yesterday. :) This time I was able to follow the sketch and was pleased how it turned out!

The sketch....

I went with palm leaves and a jungle theme because that's what is on the "C" shaped pillow my Grandson has. He is only 3 1/2 months in this picture, but he's drooling like a 6 month old! Wow can this baby drool! LOL He can completely soak a bib in 10 minutes... we won't even talk about how crabby he can get. He's so adorable though, it really doesn't matter what his moods are. :)

The pinwheel was cut from Mother's Day 2010 cartridge @ 4 and the the leaves are from Life's A Beach @ 2. The elephant is from MS Birthday cart @ 1 and the lion is from Animal Kingdom @ 2. It's hard to see in the leaves, but I did some dry embossing for the veins and added some stickles.

Some detail photos...

Rose Card

Good Morning!
 I made up a few Mother's Day cards. I left them blank for now, but I will stamp Happy Mother's Day on the front when I'm ready to send them. That way I can also use them for any other occasion I may need a card for.

I cut the Rose from Walk in my Garden @ 3.75.

Stuck on U sketch

Good Morning!

 I've always liked the Stuck On U Sketches blog, they do some amazing layouts, but I've never played along... until today. They have a great sketch challenge going on right now, HERE!

I thought it would be an easy sketch for me to do. As soon as I seen it I knew what picture I wanted to use.

My family is always giving me a hard time because I never scrap pictures of me. All that changed on January 9th when my first Grandson was born. I'm amazed every time I see him how much he looks exactly like his Dad, my youngest son.

I used a paper pack from Paper Wishes called Enchanted Moments, found HERE.

I'm also using the layout I did for the Frosted Designs rolled paper challenge, found HERE.

The flowers I used were cut from Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge, cut @ 3 inches.

For my layout I used the last full sheet from my paper pack. All the other pieces I used were scraps, except the 3 different ribbons I used.

Creative Scrappers sketch # 205

Good Morning!

I love the latest sketch on creative scrappers!

This was such an easy sketch for me to follow. It took me about an to create the whole page. Had Trouble (my white cat) not been helping, it would have went faster.

 I used my DCWV Baby Boy stack, some gems from Michael's, a white gel pen, some scraps and my tape runner. I'm not sure if I love how it turned out because of how it looks, or the picture I used.

My step brother met my Grandson for the first time last Sunday. They just adopted a baby, which is why he hadn't met my Grandson before now. Anyways, we swapped babies and my Grandson had a fit!! He wouldn't stop screaming until I sat by him telling him "Grandma's here, it's ok". There is no doubt he's Grandma's boy. Of course I wouldn't have it any other way.
