Sunday Sketch

I found myself with a little bit of time this weekend -- unheard of with all of the kids activites -- so I decided to take part in Studio Calico's Sunday Sketch.

Toot, Toot

I must toot my own horn for a moment. I am going to be published in Creating Keepsakes magazine!! I have never submitted before but had a good friend suggest it. When another well known scrapbooker (some of you may know her as one of the amazing designers over at Studio Calico with the initials of S.H.) also suggested I submit my layout, I couldn't resist. So glad I followed their advice!! Look for me in the July/August issue!!

Sassy ABC's

My baby isn't a baby anymore. She isn't even a toddler anymore. She takes after her big brother and big sister. She is smart and observant. Kind and conscientious. I came downstairs the other day to find her practicing her writing; very focused and quite the perfectionist. I still can't believe she will be a kindergartener in the fall!





Mostly all Sass products with a couple of OA tags and OA and BG alphas.

Purple and I are not friends. I don't care for purple...never have. I was not so happy when I found out Hannah's gymnastics team leotard was going to be purple. Why did I care do you ask? Clearly because of the scrapbooking repurcusions. I don't have any purple supplies! But as you can see, I managed. This layout is not at all what I imagined it would turn out to be, but I kind of like it. The green looks great with the purple and I did manage to find a few bits of purple to throw on there. What do you think? It is different from anything I have ever done.

I just love this photo. The girls, especially Hannah, were just amazed at the skills of the older girls. It's one thing to actually practice doing something...quite another to see someone go flipping and tumbling across the entire mat in one fluid movement.
