Making Cookies for Santa LO

This is a 2 page layout I did off of a sketch by Allison Davis. She has these awesome sketches that you can use several photos on & always has 2 pagers... you could always use them to make 1 pagers too. Here is the best part.... she gives you all the details!! Check out her stuff to see what I mean. She actually road maps it for you. She also does this awesome weekly thing on her blog where she shows you how to take the 1 sketch & change it up 5 different ways.

The girls got it goin on!!!

She has 6 books with 30 sketches & a card sketch book too... NO I don't have any affiliation to her, I just think she offers some very helpful info & her sketches are so easy to follow with her little "road maps" as I call them.

You can click on each photo for a closer look.

So here is a look at the full 2 page lo


Here is a shot of the 1st page... the gingerbread is a svg from Treasure Box Designs.

Isn't she just too cute!
The cookies on the tray & rolling pin are stickers from Jolee's

A look at the 2 page.

Thanks for looking!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day celebrating with family and friends, I just wanted to post this before we head out to the neighbors for their annual 4th of July bash.

I am on a roll, this is the second layout I have completed in two days.. WOW!!, and I have a third that is just waiting on pictures. Have you ever taken a picture and load it up onto the computer and it just hits you right away - "I need to scrap this" and you know exactly what you want on it, from the title to the papers, colors everything. OF COURSE IT DOES!! WHAT AM I ASKING ~ YOU ARE A SCRAP~BOOKER!!
well, that is what happened to me and I don't print my pics from the computer (don't like the way my printer does them) so it is sitting on my work area awaiting it's photos.

Anywho, this is my daughter Kira at age 4. I used a sketch from scrap a-little-sketch.com / sketch #27. The daisies are an svg from Shirley's blog ~ Paper,Scissors, Ink. The daisy circle is from Paulo's blog SCAL-files (I think). I don't have a clue where I got the fence file from (looks like the sizzix die cut fence). I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

Gift for my Aunt ~

This is a layout I did for my Aunt as a wedding gift that I am going to put in a shadow box as soon as I find the right one. I was going to make her a scrapbook but she went online and made herself a digital scrapbook. I know they are not the same, but I decided to make this so she can always have it in sight and she would not have to pull out 2 big books with similar photos in it to show everyone. This can be hung on the wall or put on a shelf for all to see all the time. I did the photos in sepia with a soft focus (they aren't blurry). Her wedding was in Oct so her colors were that off fall & her home is all neutrals, so this will work well anywhere she decides to put it.
I hope she likes it, I love the way it turned out. I would love to hear what you all think of it.
I am also going to enter it into Sketches in Thyme's first challenge.

(well I didn't get to enter it due to some error on the linky thingy saying that the collection was closed several hours earlier than it should have been closed)

Title help, please

This is my take on a sketch by Liz Qualman, I flipped it and changed it a smidge.

I need some suggestions for a title if you talented peps can help me out.
A little about the pics...It was in Sept. & we were at a small shopping village in Smithville, NJ... the picture was taken in a gazebo where we were feeding the ducks and fish. This was a first for my son (feeding the fish & ducks). He was 10 months at the time. Thank you for any help.

Build~A~Bear lo part 1

This is the sketch from Got Sketch that I used. Instead of the Flower next to the title I used Dexter the Dog from Jills Paper Jems Cudley Cuties CD

If your wondering ... why a dog on a Build~A~Bear layout? Well, my daughter chose to make a dog instead of a Bear. These pictures are from our trip to Myrtle Beach, SC & our first trip to Build~A~ Bear Workshops... She had alot of fun & had to have all kinds of stuff as you can see some of her choices in the first picture in the layout, she is on my hubby's shoulder & you can't hardly see him.

SOUS Feb 5th Sketch

WOW! I got two layouts done in one week! That is amazing for me lately. Well anywho , here is my take on this weeks sketch from Stuck on you Sketches! This is my daughter Kira's first time with Buddy Bear. He is the Pre~K bear that everyone gets to have a sleep over with & they have to read him a book (well the parents) and then write in his journal about his overnight stay. Needless to say Kira was super excited to have him for the first time! The flower on top of the layout is part of a pull out tag that I have put the journaling on. I did a little sewing on this one & made a tear bear head to represent Buddy Bear. I hope you like it!
