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! 

I hope you'll take on this sketch challenge - and as always, there's an Inlinkz link on the left hand side of the Stick It Down blog to upload your creations. Thanks for visiting.

Welcome Scrappers & Happy Sunday! 

Spring is definitely upon us here in Pennsylvania!! I've already been outside a few times today just walking around the yard and making plans . . . checking out all of the blooms and plants peeking through the ground too.

Todays challenge @ The Studio Challenges blog focuses on "New Life"!

What better way to focus on New Life, than a layout of a New Birth. This layout is of my Grandson Harrison Grant on the day that he was born - with a cute little play on words - HAPPY BIRTH DAY!

Let's Get Sketchy - February 2021 Reveal - Home For Christmas

Good Morning Fellow Scrappers! 

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!! 

Please make sure to take a peek at all of the other Design Team Members and their creations!

As most of you know already, I'm an 8-1/2 x 11 scrapper, so the fun for me is taking the sketch and altering it a bit to make it fit my needs, while staying true to the original sketch . . . I'm totally lovin' this sketch this month, and can assure you I'll be using it again in the future!

The layout is of my son Garrett titled "Home For Christmas" - When I moved to Pennsylvania over 9 years ago (as I remarried) one of the conditions was that I would give up every Christmas. 

So, every Christmas Garrett would spend in North Carolina with his dad - even after he turned 18 (his choice at that point ) - until this year with the COVID-19 pandemic.
