Stick It Down - February 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Summer

     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!!

Stick It Down - January 2022 Single Page Sketch Reveal - Beautiful Dancer

    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.

Sketch N Scrap - October 1st, 2021 Layout Sketch Reveal - Sketch #234 by Stacy Daubenberger

                                    Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends! 

Can you believe it's October already??

This month I chose the October 1st Reveal date @ Sketch N Scrap and I'm super excited to share with you the layout that I created! 

This month I'm working with Sketch #234 by Stacy Daubenberger

 @ Sketch N Scrap! 

I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of Stacy's sketches and I always look forward to creating with them. This sketch was super fun to create with & actually worked better for me once I flipped it. 

It just seemed to work better with my smaller scrapping size. 

This is another layout using pictures from this Summer when the grandkids were visiting. This particular day we spent it on the lake. Many firsts on this day for Miss Everly. 

Journaling reads - 

Everly enjoying so many “firsts” on the lake today – she’ll even tell you that it was one of her “best days ever”! We absolutely love seeing her smile with pure happiness!

Sketch N Scrap - September 1st Layout Sketch Reveal - #232 by Heather Hall

                             Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends! 

Can you believe it's September already??

This month I chose the September 1st Reveal date @ Sketch N Scrap and I'm super excited to share with you the layout that I created! 

This month I'm working with Sketch #232 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

I have to admit this was a super fun layout to work with this month. I think the hardest part for me was figuring out which pictures that I wanted to use as I'd already determined that I wanted to use my August 2021 "Creative" Kit from My Creative Scrapbook . The grandkids were here for an extended period of time this Summer, so I had lots of  "water" options to choose from - the creek, the back yard kiddie pool, the back yard splash pad, the Loyalsock Pool Splash Pad. . . .you get the idea. Any who - thanks for taking a peek!

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.

Sketch N Scrap is Turning Nine - Let's Celebrate / Challenge #8

Good Morning my fellow scrapping friends! 

As you know we're having a Birthday Celebration at Sketch N Scrap  and it's my turn to  post the Birthday Challenge! How exciting right?? I do hope that you're playing along with us @ and that you'll take on this challenge too. 

My Challenge to YOU  . . . if you choose to accept it is to use Sketch #99 created by Mandy Reedyk to create a layout. . . .you can see what others have created with this sketch if you take a peek here . . . 

                                        

. . . But wait, there's a twist. . . . what's a Birthday without a Birthday Themed Layout?? Am I right??  So yeah, your challenge is to use the above Sketch and create a Birthday Themed Layout. 

Here's my take on the Sketch. .. the Layout is of my Granddaughter Everly on her Fourth Birthday in December.  It was the first one since she's been born that I wasn't able to celebrate with her. Her mom went out of her way to make it a special day for her, and you can clearly see the excitement on her face. You'll also notice that I flipped the sketch horizontally. . .(not part of the twist, but a fun addition none the less).

Let's Get Sketchy - April 2021 Reveal - Play Doh Love

 

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!! 

As followers of my blog, you already know that  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 . . . As you can see, this month I mirrored the sketch to once again fit my needs. . .it gave me a bit more room for my title, and allowed me to use the pictures that I had chosen for the layout. 

This layout is of my granddaughter Miss Everly Claire playing with Play Doh, one of her newer obsessions since she's discovered the tools that go along with it - thanks to her pre-school for introducing her to the "tools" as her play doh game has now reached a whole new level. 

Journaling  - 

Everly was super excited to get the tools to go along with her play doh. They have scissors just like this at pre-school, and now she can make the same cool things at home.  – January 31^st, 2021 Newport News, Virginia

Sketch N Scrap - January 15th, 2021 Sketch #217 by Heather Hall / Remember

Good morning Everyone. . .

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

and my take on it! It's a super fun sketch with lots of squares and pop dots . . .

Today I'm sharing with you my take on Sketch #217 by the very talented

 Heather Hall at Sketch N Scrap! 

First off, I absolutely love this sketch, and will definitely be using it again. My 8-1/2 x 11 layout of Everly is of pictures taken while she was visiting Pennsylvania in June of 2019 right before she became a big sister that July. We were at Reptiland feeding the birds at Parakeet Landing. When she came for a visit the past Summer she requested that we go back as she remembered going to feed those same birds & seeing the dinosaurs the previous year. Crazy how much they remember at such an early age. . .Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch # 451 by Shawn Lahr @ Sketches in Thyme

Happy New Year & Welcome to January 2021!! 

So....it's a new month of Sketches @ Sketches in Thyme, and I get to start the month off with Sketch #451 created by the talented Shawn Lahr. 

 And here is my take on the sketch - 8-1/2 x 11 of course. An adorable layout of my grandson Harrison Grant on his first birthday this year. He was supposed to be celebrating his birthday with me in Pennsylvania, but the trip got delayed by a few days instead. Since it was his "First" birthday and no one wanted the day to go undocumented, there was a mad dash to the store for a cake . . .and when there is no "smash" cake, you get the "whole" cake.

Sketch N Scrap - January 1st 2021 Sketch #216 by Stacey Daubenberger / No Probllama

 Happy New Year Everyone! - 

What better way to start off the new year than with a sketch reveal . . . the January 1st sketch reveal @ Sketch N Scrap to be exact. 

Today I'm sharing with you my take on Sketch #216 by the very talented Stacy Daubenberger  at Sketch N Scrap! 

I created this 8-1/2 x 11 layout of my beautiful granddaughter Everly Claire who just recently figured out how to use the pedals on the tricycle. She received the hand me down tricycle for her 1st birthday, and just a week after her 4th birthday she figured out how to ride it. . . .there's an inside joke between her mom and I about how it only took 3 years - lol.

I think the tricycle has met its match now, and Everly has no problem riding it, hence the "punny" title - No Probllama. Thanks for looking.
