Sketches in Thyme - #397

Happy November!!!  Can we believe it is almost Thanksgiving??!!  This year seems to be flying by!!

We have a great sketch up this week at Sketches in Thyme by Bev!!



I really loved working with this one... made me think outside the box a little, but I found this picture from the hubs 50th birthday and thought that it worked great with the Happy Birthday paper I have been hoarding for several years.



Be sure to check out all the other great inspiration this month... I believe there is an Echo Park Mini Kit up for grabs as well!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Turkey Day next week!!

Sketches in Thyme #393

So I am a little late in posting this, but we have a new sketch over at Sketches in Thyme

And as I am still working on wedding pictures, I did this layout showing some of the decor for the wedding.  I was honored that my niece asked me to make the 2 signs, the large window pane was the program for the wedding and the open frame was honoring all the loved ones who aren't  with us anymore :(  and all the flowers were done my the groom's family.

Be sure to check out all the other great layouts this month and get yours uploaded for a chance at a great Christmas pack!!

Sketches in Thyme - #385

and I am back again with Sketches in Thyme this week - hope everyone is staying cool as we are in record breaking heat here in Alabama.

We have a great sketch this week from Nadine

And I really hope ya'll don't get tired of seeing wedding photos, but I am working on an album for my niece and trying to get it finished this year ;)

I also went a little outside of my comfort zone and sprayed my paper with some Glimmer Mist, the blue color didn't come out quite like I wanted but it is fun to play with different mediums, especially when I really couldn't find the right paper when I picked this photo

I do need to go back redo my circles, my gold glitter pen was giving me some issues and it is probably time for a new one.

Be sure to check all the fabulous inspiration this month, there are some great sketches to work with and link up for some great prizes too!!

Lets Scrap Sketches - Aug 15th

Welcome to the DOG DAYS of summer here in Alabama.. we have been experiencing some EXTREME heat the past week and I am ready for fall to be here, along with football and pumpkin spice!!

Got another great sketch from Let's Scrap Sketches for the middle of August - I really love the sunburst across the top and this could easily be modified for a single page layout too!!



So I have been working on an album of my niece's wedding, which maybe she will get by her 2nd anniversary ;) but all these sketches have really helped me get a lot of pictures done - I still need to journal, but I think I will use my silhouette to do the writing so I can fit everything into the space.



Be sure to check out the other great inspiration this month at Let's Scrap Sketches.

Also I am planning a blog re-vamp/launch to start showcasing more of my work and the fact that I am a Close to My Heart consultant :)

Sketches in Thyme #381 "CHICK MAGNETS"

Happy July everyone - and it is living up to "Hot as Firecracker" down here in Alabama, I am definitely looking forward to cooler temps as we have been in the 90's since June and with the humidity it is miserable here!!

This week I am sharing this fabulous sketch over at Sketches in Thyme by Shawn Lahr.


I have been dying to scrap this pictures of my nephews and the chicks they got to take care of last year for school.  I have no doubt in my mind these boys will definitely be "chick magnets" as they get older!! ;)


There is a fabulous prize pack of some super cute Echo Park paper, Springtime.  Echo Park happens to be one of my most favorite companies, and I used one of the Boy collections for this layout.

Be sure to check out all the other fabulous inspiration from our other Mavens at Sketches in Thyme, I am amazed at the talent of our design team every month!!

Lets Scrap Sketches!!

Well I am finally back, life has been crazy busy and I do believe I have spent more time at the ballfield than anywhere else these past few weeks.  But I wouldn't trade seeing my nephews faces winning games they weren't expected to win and making it to the state tournament...  I would gladly trade the oppressively hot weather though ;)

Here is the mid - month sketch up at Let's Scrap Sketches and as always there are plenty of ways to make it work for you, it would make great single page layouts as well.


I am trying to get layouts done for my niece's wedding book, so the double pages really do come in handy in letting me get several photos on a page.
