Stick It Down - June 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Like Father Like Son

     Hello! Hello! Happy Monday my fellow scrappy friends -

 what's everyone up to on this fine day??

For me, it's a typical workday. . . and my final reveal day as a 

member of the Stick It Down Team!

So, with that being said - I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using another sketch by the very talented Laura Rumble.

 This month I chose to scrap a picture of my son Garrett and his dad from one of our recent "pick up" days. . . now that Garrett is over 18, I don't have to meet his dad "halfway" any longer for visitation drop offs. . . If Garrett goes to North Carolina, then his dad comes the whole way to get him. I usually will help out on the return trip and meet them at the Pennsylvania / Maryland Rest Area. Three hours there, and three hours back. This past trip was awful, awful, awful. . . the snow and sleet were a nightmare! I white knuckled it the whole way there and back, and my windshield wipers even tried to freeze up on me . . .but it was all worth it in the end - Garrett was home safe and sound! 

I really do love the sketch this month!! When I saw the triangles, I went to work immediately creating a cut file that would work for my 8-1/2 x 11 needs. *Please don't look too hard or you'll see all of the uneven triangles & spacing - but hey, this girl is still learning! Wanna know what the best part of this layout is - I used up a bunch of patterned paper scraps! Woot! Woot!

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!

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???

Stick It Down - March 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - That Shirt Though . . .

  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! 

I chose to scrap a picture of my son Garrett for this particular sketch. Pictures are getting harder and harder to come by these days, so I definitely snag them when I can. 

I opted not to use tags on this as I don't really have any in my stash, and I was already over fighting with my silhouette cameo from trying to cut my title. . .the stress just wasn't worth it to me.

Only you would decide to wear the same shirt to school on the very first day of every semester.

Today marked the sixth consecutive “first day” . . .and the shirt is still going strong. Only two more

semesters to go, and let’s not forget about those matching socks.

     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 Laura Rumble. 

I chose to scrap this picture of my Granddaughter Everly as I already had it printed out. I wound up not using it on a previous layout that I was working on, so it was perfect for this.  Even though the sketch calls for two pics, it was easier for me to just use the one to help with the sizing from 12 x 12 to the 8-1/2 x 11 size that I scrap. The fun part for me was adding embellishment after embellishment - trying to put a dent in the stash! Super fun sketch to work with for sure!!

    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 Laura Rumble. 

I chose to scrap these two pictures of my Granddaughter Everly taken during one of her Holiday Performances this year. As a grandmother, you hate missing these types of things, but luckily, they understand when you can't be there (sadly we live a couple of states away). Thank goodness my daughter shares in the "need" to photograph things . . . The sketch was a tough one for me this month, and I have to admit that the layout you see now WAS NOT the way I was originally going with it. I just couldn't make it work for me. . . once I found this cut file though, it all came together really, really quickly.

Stick It Down - December 2021 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Snyder's Family Farm

                      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 Laura Rumble. 

I chose to scrap a layout with pictures of my son Garrett from way back in 2012. Apparently I must have attempted to scrap these photos on another occasion, as I'd already cut them into circle shapes and had them matted. . . No earthly clue when I must've done that.  Any woo, they were perfect for this sketch as I just replaced the squares with circles and four pictures instead of three. . . and everything else just fell into place.

Stick It Down - November 2021 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Peace

                       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 Laura Rumble. 

The sketch focuses on banners and tags - neither of which I use very often, so this sketch was a REAL Challenge for me this month. . . 

I chose to scrap a layout of my son Garrett, which I don't typically do these days as I find most new lines of papers "too cutesy" for him. So, believe me when I say the struggle is real when I try to scrap "masculine" pages. . . I totally dug deep in my stash for this layout, digging out my remaining papers from the Basic Grey Archaic Line, which totally worked perfect for this layout! 

Picture is of Garrett and his New Friend - the Parasaurolophus taken last Summer  at Clyde Peeling's Reptiland on August 15th, 2020. The kid still loves his dinosaurs, even to this day!

Stick It Down - October 2021 Single Page Reveal - Feel Better Little Man

  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 Laura Rumble. 

The sketch focuses on hexagons, and I have to admit, I haven't used shapes (other than squares) on my layouts in a really long time. . . Once I picked my papers, the layout came together pretty quickly! 

I chose to scrap a layout of my grandson Harrison with pictures taken just last week. He had (still has some lingering symptoms) his very first really bad cold with coughing, congestion, high fevers,  and rattling in his chest! It really did break this Nana's heart to see him sooooo miserable. 

I'm super glad he's feeling better!

Stick It Down - September 2021 Single Page Reveal - Everly

 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 a sketch by Laura Rumble. The sketch required us to use an acrostic poem and I have to admit that in all of my scrapbooking years, I have never done this before. It definitely was super fun, and I'm pretty pleased with my layout!

I chose to scrap a layout of my granddaughter Miss Everly Claire, and used the letters in her first  name for my journaling.

E is for Electrifying, the way you charge the room

V is for Vivacious, you bring color to my life

 E is for Exciting, you're so full of joy.   

 R is for Rose, more beautiful as it unfolds

L is for Laughter, nothing is as infectious as yours 

Y is for Yes, we love you  every day. Every. Single. Day.

Stick It Down - August 2021 Reveal - Playdate

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

So. . .  I'm super excited to share with you my layout this month using a sketch by Laura Rumble. 

For my layout, I used the Oh, Happy Day! Collection by Simple Stories. I'm almost at the point where I can say that I've successfully killed the kit, and the sketch was perfect in helping me move forward with that goal. All of the patterned paper was a piece a scrap paper remaining in the kit! Gotta love that right??  This sketch was super fun to work with, and pretty easy to convert to a smaller size! Pictures are of my grandchildren Everly and Harrison on a playdate with a friend in May of this year.
