Sketch #29

The winner of the SKETCHABILITIES Sponsor Giveaway from Work In Progress Kits has been posted over on the Sketchabilities site. If you entered, be sure to go check it out...maybe you won?!?! Also, there is still one more day to enter for the Blog Hop giveaways and RAKs.

Sketchabilities sketch #29 has also been revealed. Again, be sure to check out the Guest Designer's work -- Kristie made an amazing fall layout using the sketch.





I used the October Afternoon Farm Fresh line on my layout and as you can see, I strayed from the sketch a bit. Rather than doing a rectangular journal block, I moved my circle over to teh right of the pictures. I also substituted a couple of photo corners for the bracket and added that cute cow on the bottom right.

Slow Down!

My son took his good old time learning to ride a bike. He just wasn't interested. His sister, who is two years younger has been riding for over a year now. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that he felt it was finally time to learn.

The new Basic Grey Wanderer line offered the perfect colors, and with a few of the chipboard and tag accents, the page came together rather quickly. In addition, I had these little felt bicycles from a WIP kit. Besides, with a sketch like this, how could you go wrong?

Sept 15th Reveal

Since it is SKETCHABILITIES one year b-day celebration, I thought it only befitting to produce a birthday layout for the reveal. Of course, it was my daughter's 5th birthday a few weeks ago so that helped get me in the spirit and gave me ample opportunity to get some good b-day shots.





I had a good time making this one. I used a lot of random papers and stickers that I had lying around. The candles were made by rolling up some scraps of paper into which I placed some twine for the wick. I debated on using real candles but was concerned the wax would mess up the page protector. Besides, these paper candles were much more fun to make. I also loved that the Bo Bunny background paper already had numbers running across the top and bottom so I could highlight that this was S's 5th Bday (yes, my baby is 5 already, where did the time go??!?).
