Sketch #36

This sketch reveal has to be my absolute favorite Sketchablities sketch EVER!!! Karan is amazing, isn't she?!?!? Check out her sketch below...






I will admit, in general I am a "fair weather fan" when it comes to sports. I am not one to brave the elements in order to catch a game. I would much rather sit at home, snuggled in a blanket, watching from afar if it isn't going to be a gorgeous 80 degree day! In 2008 though, when the opportunity to see the Phillies in the World Series arose, I didn't hesitate to go to the game. It was frigid AND raining...a bad, bad combination when you will be sitting still outside. But, we froze and watched as the Phillies took an early lead, sat through a rain delay, and then headed to the car when we were certain the game would be postponed (as it was). While it was exciting to see, I opted out of going to the second half of that game a few days later. I enjoyed watching the end of that game curled up in bed!

Sidenote -- see those clouds, cut those out of bandage gauze. You can seriously find a use for just about anything on a scrap page!!

Now, if you want to be eligible for the Sketchabilities giveaway -- sponsored by Technique Junkie, you need to link up a layout based on this sketch over on the Sketchablities Blog by December 12. So get scrapping!! You don't want to miss this prize pack!

Really?!?!?

It's been a while since I shared any real layouts....not for lack on me scrapping though. I just haven't gotten the chance to take pixs of the layouts and get them posted here to the blog.

This first one was inspired by Sasha Holloway's layout on the Jillibean blog . I knew I wanted to use these Jillibean Soup papers and when I saw her layout on the blog, I knew it was perfect for our "Disney Surprise" pixs of when we gave the kids a choice b/w school or Disney....bet you can't guess what that chose, LOL!


This layout was a foray into masking. I have a few of Tim Holtz's masks but rarely ever use them. I also have a TON of stamps that rarely get used. This small frame stamp is gorgeous, isn't it?!?

And then there is this "accidental layout" --- I cut the cicles out of this Cosmo paper for a different layout but fell in love with it this way with the cicles backed with black. The pictures were taken in Animal Kingdom when Noah was pulled into a show in Africa. He was so embarassed but hey, what a fun way to celebrate your birthday?!?!

Sneak Peaks

I wanted to share a couple of sneaks of the December Add-On Kit from 3 Scrappy Boys. I was a little worried about this month's assignment prior to getting the kit. As it turns out, I had little to worry about! With all of the amazing embellishments and papers in this kit, I had no problem creating with it!






If you didn't notice, I misted A LOT this month! If you haven't hit 3SB's sale, you should, and be sure to pick up some Studio Calico Mists. I used a ton of Calico White, Applejack, and Schoolhouse with this kit....I also used Lunch Tray as well!

I believe the kit goes live December 1 --- be sure to check it out!!
