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.

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 - September 15th Reveal - Sketch #257 by Heather Hall - Meet & Greet

                                          Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

            After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back sharing with you my take on the

                         September 15th Sketch @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #257 by Heather Hall  

What a super fun sketch to work with this month!! Lovin' the large circle on this one and the many opportunities it offers to break out the mixed media and get a bit messy! I don't have a lot of experience with stenciling, but I really love the way this turned out! I also have to admit that any sketch that is easily convertible to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs is a definite plus in my book. 

This particular layout is of my Granddaughter Miss Everly Claire. Picture was taken just this past month at her Kindergarten Meet & Greet at the elementary school. I seriously cannot believe that she's old enough to attend school.

Sketch N Scrap - July 1st, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #252 by Lisa Hidy

                                       Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

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

Today I'm working with Sketch #252 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

Another super fun sketch to work with by Lisa Hidy!  I will say that my layout came together pretty quickly (the best kind)! I absolutely love the simplicity of this particular sketch and I'll definitely be re-using this sketch again in the near future . . .and like all of Lisa's sketches, this one was quite easy for me to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

This particular layout is of my Granddaughter Everly jumping in puddles . . . ever since she was a baby, she's had this infatuation with jumping in "muddy puddles". We'd like to thank Peppa Pig for that! Miss Everly is five and a half now, and that obsession with mud puddles is stronger than ever. Good thing we've invested in several pairs of rain boots! 

Journaling reads -  

Everly - we can all thank Peppa Pig for your love of muddy puddles. Whenever there’s a puddle around, we can all be sure that you’re going to ask to play in it. 

Nana must say yes of course, every. single. time.

Sketch N Scrap - June 15th, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #251 by Lori Stroup

  Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

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

Today I'm working with Sketch #251 by Lori Stroup @ Sketch N Scrap! 

I absolutely loved working with this particular sketch! As you can see though, I did take some liberties with it! After mirroring the sketch and using 2 photos instead of one, it all came together pretty quickly. . .Lori's sketch was super easy for me to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs, and I already have a couple more layouts planned with this particular sketch.

This layout is of my beautiful granddaughter - Everly. She lost her first tooth the night before and the Tooth Fairy brought her $5 dollars. Her mom took her to Five Below the next day after school to pick out a toy - and since she's all into Minecraft right now that's what she picked out! 

Journaling reads -  

Just like the title says – today only happens once, and in your case, this is soooo true. Yesterday you lost your very first tooth and today you spent your very first “Tooth Fairy Loot”! The Tooth Fairy left you $5 for your tooth – not too shabby if you ask me! Then after school your mom took you to Five Below and let you pick out your very own toy and let you pay for it all by yourself! Your toy choice?? A Minecraft Mini Figurine – Attacking Alex!

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

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

Today I'm working with Sketch #248 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This particular sketch was super easy to work with (lovin' the multiple single photo option on this one). I know I always seem to say it, but . . . this  sketch really was super easy to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

This layout is of my Granddaughter Everly at Knoebels Amusement Park. This summer we took her and Harrison, as well as the rest of the family there. Everly had "the best day ever" and was up for photos every single time I asked. . . needless to say, there were many pictures taken that day.

Stick It Down - April 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Better Together

   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 a picture of my son Garrett & my Granddaughter Everly. There was a time (the very early baby stages) when he wouldn't even hold her, but now that she's older he's all about spending time with her and doing things with her. . .she really does love her Uncle G. 

I will say that I love the sketch, but this one was a bit hard for me to scale down to fit my 8-1/2 x 11 needs. I still love my layout, but hate that I had to cover up soooo much of the flower. Perhaps a possible re-do in the future???

Journaling reads - 

When Miss Everly comes to visit you two are always up to some mischief & fun adventures together. Of course, today was no exception. - August 14^th, 2021

                     Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

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

Today I'm working with Sketch #246 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This particular sketch was super easy to work with (lovin' the multiple banners on this one). I know I always seem to say it, but . . . this  sketch really was super easy to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

This layout is of my Granddaughter Everly at one of our favorite tourist attractions that we love to visit (we do try and go at least once a year). Even though Everly has gone with us 2 or 3 times in the past, she was much, much younger, and not really aware of what was going on around her. This year, she knew exactly what to do, and we're pretty sure that no red deer at the farm went hungry that day.

Let's Get Sketchy - April 2022 Reveal - All This Happiness

                     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!

                                           Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

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

Today I'm working with Sketch #245 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

This sketch was super easy to work with and I've already started another layout using the exact same sketch. I know I always seem to say this, but . . . this particular sketch really was super easy to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs.

This particular layout is of my Granddaughter Everly when she was here visiting this past Summer. This was her very first trip to an Amusement Park, and her very first Funnel Cake as well. So after a very long & hot day. . . a funnel cake was definitely a much welcomed treat, right before the meltdown took place (as she didn't want to leave).
