Sketchabilities #21

Back from CKC and am EXHAUSTED!! My girlfriends and I headed out on Wednesday and I just got back this morning. There is nothing like four days of scrapping and shopping with some great girls!! Because I was away, my Sketchabilities post is a little overdue....I hope you will head on over and check out everyone's amazing layouts!! They are so inspiring! When I first saw this sketch I wasn't sure what to do....I had never done anything quite like this. I must say though, after my initial hesitation, I was thrilled with the result. What do you think?





Keep checking back...I'll be posting some of the many layouts I did while at CKC this week! 24 completed and 9 waiting finishing touches....quite a productive weekend!

Off to CK - Valley Forge!!

I may not have been invited to the big show, aka CHA, but I am off to CK tomorrow. Be sure to check out the Sketchabilities reveal while I am away! I will post my layout here as soon as I return. In the meantime, here is a layout I did earlier this summer. It was hard to get a good picture since there is so much dimension to this one! I just love that dressform cut out with my cricut. My daughter is such a goofball!!

Only 40 complete

100 layouts between Memorial Day and Labor Day...was I insane? Last summer I completed close to 150 but this year I guess I am just busier....this layout here is #40. I love the muted colors and the browns of the Girls' Paperie papers with these pictures. They just give it a nice library/music room type of feel.



Ok, so back to the 100 layout before summer's end. My saving grace and the one shot I have at reaching the goal....CKC - Valley Forge. It is only a week away!! I will spend 3 solid days scrapping (and shopping of course). I already have my bags packed and am ready to head out --- now to arrange all of the babysitter coverage my husband will need....

Quick and Easy

Whipped this layout together late last night. It was so easy and with these Echo Park papers and stickers, it came together so quickly!



Did you notice the shadows in the picture of the layout? I didn't even realize they were there until I went to resize for posting. Oops. Those are not there in real life although they do kind of look cool don't you think? I took the picture with light coming in the window at an angle and all of those clouds and the sun are all pop dotted to add dimension...which caused the shadowing.
