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!

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!

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

Sketch N Scrap - May 15th, 2022 Reveal - Sketch #249 by Heather Hall

                 Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

We're halfway through the month-long "10th" Birthday Bash Celebration @ Sketch N Scrap! 

Hope you've been playing along with us! 

Today is May 15th, and that means it's Sketch Reveal Day

 @ Sketch N Scrap. 

Today I'm working with Sketch #249 by Heather Hall @ Sketch N Scrap! 

I was a bit leery about this sketch in the beginning as I'm not very good at making banners at all! Once I convinced myself that the sketch was just a starting point and did not need to be followed to the tee, I was able to come up with a game plan! I think at that point the most difficult thing was trying to determine if I was going to go with the patterned paper or the solid color cardstock. . . as you can see, I went with the patterned paper!  I'm personally lovin' having grandbabies as I get to scrap some super cute layouts! And this one is definitely that! 

Thanks, Heather, for the inspirational sketch this month. 

This layout is of my Granddaughter Everly at a recent Easter Egg Hunt that the apartment complex (where she lives) hosted for the children. I've got numerous pictures from that day, but this particular one needed to be scrapped alone, and worked perfectly with the sketch! The picture just makes me smile. . . she was soooo happy that day and I can only imagine what she must be telling the Easter Bunny - I'm sure it had something to do with candy, as the girl loves her some candy. 

Journaling reads -  

Seriously though, who doesn’t love the Easter Bunny?? Everly making sure he knows just how much she loves him & how much she’ll enjoy all the “candy” that he’ll be bringing her on Easter Sunday!

Happy 10th Birthday Sketch N Scrap - Challenge #5 Throwback Sketch #132

                  Good morning my fellow scrapping friends - 

 Sketch N Scrap is celebrating ten years this month - and all month long we're posting "Throwback Sketch Challenges" for you to play along with. . . I'm up today with Birthday Bash Challenge #5 using Throwback Sketch #132 created by the very talented Sketch Designer Lisa Hidy!   I hope you enjoy my take on the sketch!! Make sure you follow along on the blog and our Facebook Group daily. You won't want to miss any of the fun challenges.

T

Today I'm working with Sketch #132 by Lisa Hidy @ Sketch N Scrap! 

So for my "throwback" Sketch pick, I chose Sketch #132 by Lisa Hidy. I was immediately drawn to the sketch for the simplest of reasons - the sketch was in red, white & blue and I had the perfect papers and pictures that I wanted to use . . . a huge THANK YOU to my friend Patti who gifted me with the Fancy Pants Hometown Summer collection. . . I'm absolutely in love with it! 

The sketch was super easy to convert to my 8-1/2 x 11 needs, and the whole layout come together pretty quickly - I think cutting the stars out took the majority of my time. Again, super easy sketch to work with, and I get to add another completed layout to the books!

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!
