Sketch N Scrap - October 15th Reveal - Sketch #259 by Lori Stroup

                                         Good morning my fellow scrapbooking friends - 

It's time for the October 15th Sketch Reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #259 by Lori Stroup @ Sketch N Scrap! 

I was super excited to work with this sketch by Lori this month! 

 I definitely was hoping to go with the fall theme but wound up using some pictures that I had printed out already. I did take some liberties

 with the sketch as I wanted to use more than one picture. This sketch was super easy for me to convert to 8-1/2 x 11 and I've already started another layout using this very same sketch!

The layout is of my Grandbabies this past Summer while they were in South Carolina visiting their other Grandmother. 

Journaling reads -

The “Family Beach Day” (with Mimi, Noralee & Santino) was cut short by a sudden rainstorm, which meant you had to take cover inside. What better place than a local ice cream shop? But not before getting drenched in the downpour.  Everyone was freezing – you both were soaked, the ice cream was cold, and the AC was blasting (as to be expected in the summertime). You both just shivered and smiled the whole time!

Sketch N Scrap - July 15th Reveal - Sketch #253 by Lori Stroup - Mr Sandman

                                        Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time for the July 15th Sketch Reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #253 by Lori Stroup @ Sketch N Scrap! 

Another super fun sketch to work with by Lori Stroup!  I absolutely love the simplicity of this particular sketch and how quickly my layout came together. . . something that I'm not really used to. And honestly, you've got to love a sketch that you can easily convert to 8-1/2 x 11, and this one was! 

This particular layout is of my Grandson Harrison outside playing in the sand box. Funny thing is, he plays in it all the time now with his cars and dump trucks. . . but initially the kid had to wait almost a year before his mom managed to break down and go get the kid some sand. 

Journaling reads -  

After waiting for almost a year, your mom finally bought the sand to fill your sandbox! Lots of fun was had today – boys and their toys, right?

 The wait was definitely worth it!

Sketch N Scrap - June 1st, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #250 by Lisa Hidy

 Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time for the June 1st Sketch Reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #250 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This particular sketch was super fun to work with, and my layout came together pretty quickly. . . I absolutely loved the look of the huge banner, and the multiple patterned paper requirements. I'll definitely be re-using this sketch again. . .  . . .and like all of Lisa's sketches, this one was super easy for me to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

This layout is of my beautiful grandbabies - Everly and Harrison. They tend to sleep in when they're vising over the summer, so I like to peek in on them while they're sleeping before I head out to work each morning. . .

I do so love these two - to the moon and back

Stick It Down - May 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Easter Fun

    Hello my scrappy friends - Today is reveal day for me @  Stick It Down 

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by the very talented Laura Rumble. I always start out a bit intimidated by the sketch, but ultimately wind up loving my layout and the sketch - this time was no exception! 

 This month I chose to scrap pictures of my Grandson Harrison that were taken during an Easter Egg Hunt that was hosted by the Apartment Complex where his family lives. 

I will say that I love the sketch, and what I've seen others do with it so far . . . but, I wasn't too sure how I was going to scale it down to fit my 8-1/2 x 11 needs. After some quick measurements, and a few trial and errors with the circle placement I finally found something that worked for me! And once again, I love the final result - and now that I know the size requirements, I think I may use the exact same sketch and papers for photos of my Granddaughter Everly from the very same event!

                     Hello. Hello. Hello                               

Welcome to April my Scrappy Friends! 

Today is reveal day at

 Let's Get Sketchy and I'm super excited to show 

you what I've created with this months Sketch By Brenshevia!! 

This layout, titled All This Happiness showcases my Grandbabies - Everly & Harrison playing outside in the snow & mud puddles. Where they live in Virginia they don't get much snow, and on this particular rare occasion when it did snow,  it was melting as quickly as it was coming down. . . .but hey, it's snow, so that means pictures for Nana, and getting to play outside in the cold. . . Of course they both had a blast! 

I loved working with this sketch because it was super easy to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs! I'm sure I'll be using it again soon!

Sketch N Scrap - February 15th, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #243 by Heather Hall

  Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time for the February 15th sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #243 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This sketch was super easy to work with - I knew I wanted to use these pictures, but since I already had them printed, I was only able to cut them so small . . . 

Sizing is a bit off due to the picture size, but all in all I think it came together quite nicely. 

I loved being able to use "typical girl" colors on this page.

This is definitely a sketch I'd use again as it's easily convertible to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

Sketch N Scrap - January 15th Sketch #241 by Heather Hall - Layout Reveal

  Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

It's time again for my monthly sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap. 

For today's reveal I'm working with Sketch #241 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This sketch was a lot of fun to work with - once I determined the papers and pictures that I wanted to use, I went to work resizing everything to fit my 8-1/2 x 11 needs. . . I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out, and even happier that I was able to use mostly scrap pieces on this one (I admit I taped pieces of patterned paper together).
