First Day of School 2011

I'm so far behind that I am randomly selecting photos to scrap based on different posted challenges in blogland. My friend, Wendy, inspired me to look for that mystery mojo of mine. I'm back on the boards at Personal Scrapper and am participating in Erica's Valentine's Crop.  I created this layout based on sketchabilities #84  for Challenge #3 - 4 photos. 

Retro #50

Thought I'd hop in at the last possible minute with this take on retrosketches #50 sketch. 

Sketch~N~Scrap #27

I loved this sketch by Brenshevia! So many options as you will see by the talented design team at Sketch~N~Scrap. 

 Here is my take on the sketch. My son Clay ... er Mike "The Situation" showing off that hot bod! 

Tea for Two?

I added this tea bag pocket for my niece's Valentine's Day goody box I'm sending off to Texas tomorrow. She's a bit of a crafter herself so I know she'll appreciate my handmade gifts. I added the "Friendship Tea Poem" I saw on Kerry's Paper Crafts to the back of this tea bag holder. Such a sweet sentiment to share with those you love. 

Will You O'fish'ally Be Mine?

I'm always on the hunt for unique and Luvy-proof gifts for the holidays. I came across these adorable pillow boxes on Tammy Mitchell's Blog. Since I have a few friends that are addicted to Swedish fish, I knew this would prove to be the perfect lil' Valentine for them. Happy Valentine's Day friends!!

Retro #49

Thought I'd play along with retrosketches this week. I needed motivation to complete my sister's birthday card. Loved the sketch so I couldn't resist!
