Creative Scrappers Sketch #129

It's a close one,but I'm getting this layout in on time for a chance at the November prize from Creative Scrappers. Such great sketches get me motivated to scrap more often. I was also playing around with my Gypsy trying to create die-cut papers. Since I only have the Personal Cricut, I am limited as far as how big I can get the die-cuts. But, that's okay, since it's not broken and performs well, I have no reason (like I need one!) to purchase the larger Cricut Expression. I'm sure there will always be something new for me to "need". Off to check out the December sketches ...

Sketches Squared

Creative Scrapper Sketch #130 Pencil Lines Sketch #213 My friend, Kristen, and I motored to Columbus this past weekend to visit and scrap with our friend, Melane. We were very busy and diligent scrappers! Since Melane finished off the pictures she had developed, she was creating layouts for future pictures. Oh, to be in that position! I always try to tell myself that it's not a race! However, 2006 seems like a long time ago when you're trying to remember people, places, and things!

I was able to complete two sketches: Creative Scrappers #130 and Pencil Lines Sketch #213. I used the same picture (from 2001!) for both layouts as well as the same Personal Scrapper Kit.

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

I'm trying to get a jump start on my holiday crafting. After participating in the ACOT on-line crop last weekend, I was inspired to get my rear in gear. I experimented with putting together a couple gift card holders. There was one description in particular that caught my eye. It was a tutorial mentioned on the ACOT crop forum about Halloween Treat Bags by Bo Bunny like this. I found a few old scraps from Christmas Stacks past that were worth playing with. I created these two gift card holders. I still may tweak a few things, maybe try different embellies. We'll see what I can come up with ...

My new Cricut cartridge Christmas Cards is screaming to be used. I just may play with that tomorrow. Off to make different gift card holders as well as put together a couple of money holders. I'll be back to post pictures of those soon.

October 28th Reveal for Sassy Lil' Sketches

Here is my interpretation of the sketch. Clay wanted to look like the Joker from The Dark Knight. He was able to get pretty close. And, he managed to keep the makeup on all day. lol

Creative Scrappers Sketch #126

After spending all weekend scrapping with my good friends, I've been in the scrappy mood all week. I completed this layout for the Creative Scrapper blog. I'm always up for a challenge. The pictures are from 2007 when we had a family reunion. My two sisters and I are pictured as well as all our kiddos! It was a great vacation.

Pencil Lines the Sketch Book

I submitted my layout for the most recent Pencil Lines sketch celebrating their 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday Pencil Lines! I used papers from the kit club I belong to called PersonalScrapper. Love, love, love their monthly kits.
