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.

Sketchabilities Reveal #20

My first sketch reveal as a design team member is up at Sketchabilities. Go check it out! The design team did a fantastic job!! So much inspiration!





I loved that this was a multi-photo sketch. As you can see from my blog, I always have a ton of sports photos. This was a great sketch to highlight a few of those. The papers are all Jenni Bowlin -- don't you just adore that sun paper??? The bracket paper and the sun were all one sheet, so I cut the sun out and placed my photos over the empty spot on the bracket portion....ingenious. That paper is one of my faves. I had to buy it in duplicate I liked it so much so look for it again on another post :)
