{Scrappy Goodness} Hello Sunshine

I don't know about you but this has been a rough week at work and I'm in looking forward to the weekend!  So let's kick it off with a fun new sketch for ScrapMuch?.  For some reason, I had a mental block to this sketch.  Once I worked through it however, I loved it!

I used pictures of my sweet baby girl, Jaleesa playing on a train at the park.  My family as a slight obsession with trains.  It started long before I was born with my uncle and dad.  They have passed it on to my sister and I.  And now, I am having the privilege of passing this love onto my girls.

Here is my take on the sketch:

{Scrappy Goodness} Today is Good

Happy Friday!  Today I am sharing a layout I did for ScrapMuch? DT.

This week I broke out my mists, embossing powders and stamps to create this layout.  I love using project life cards on my layouts.  It adds a nice easy embellishment. They are also just a great size.

Happy Friday!  I'm sharing another great reveal day for ScrapMuch? DT.  As always they have another amazing sketch for you today.

I decided to turn the sketch on a little bit of an angle and use smaller pictures.  I really in love with how this layout turned out.  I think it actually might get framed and go on my collage wall of photos, I love it so.  And let's face it, those two cuties help make it the best layout ever.

Happy Friday!  Today is reveal day at ScrapMuch?!  Today Laura as an amazing sketch for you to work from.

I decided to use glitter for my star-burst pattern.  There is no rhyme or reason to the star burst.  I just freehanded the glue.  I had a little trouble with what I wanted to do for this layout at first.  But, then I found these pictures of my girls on my camera that I forgot about.  I thought they would be fun and playful for this sketch.

{Scrappy Goodness} Today is Good

Hello Today I would like to share with you a layout I did for the Challenge YOUrself blog.  There current challenge is Oh Boy!  You are to use a picture of yourself and a guy in your life.  I decided to do one of my husband and I.  It has been a little while since I had done a layout of the two of us.

I also used the June 15th sketch over at Stuck?! I really love Laura's sketches and they are fun to play along with.  I won't be able to link up to her sketch but I will be playing along with her again, I know.

On with my interpretation of the sketch and Oh Boy challenge.

{Scrappy Goodness} We are Family

Woot! It's Friday and it is reveal day over at ScrapMuch?  I used an hold Carta Bella Line called Traditions.  It fit with my pictures perfectly.  I actually used this sketch to create a layout for my mother-in-law for Mother's day.  When I was done taking pictures I framed it.  I usually make them for Mother's day every year for my mom and her.  They have whole collections of my work on their walls.  I love creating them and they are so excited to get one every year.

Anyways- this is my take on the sketch.  Hope you enjoy.  Don't forget to head over to the blog and see what fun inspiration the DT has for you!

Happy Friday the 13th!  First let me say, I'm sorry for being MIA.  My mom came to visit for three weeks and it was a jam packed three weeks.  I missed her before she even left.  Being on opposite coasts is really hard sometimes.  I once again apologize for not posting, as Jaleesa would say not nice!  Speaking of the cutest 2 year old in the whole wide world in my opinion.  Today features by little bug.  She is growing so fast.  I love it and highly dislike it all at the same time.

Ok, on with it... Today is reveal day at ScrapMuch?  One of my favorite days, since I love sketches.  I must say that Laura as another outstanding sketch for us this week.

Here is my take on the sketch.  I used Echo Park's Life is Beautiful papers.  The scalloped circle is from an old chipboard set from CTMH.  I used a Tim Holtz distress inker and then spritzed the top with white Heidi Swap mister.  I then added a few other random embellishments that I could not tell you for the life of me where they came from.

{Scrappy Goodness} Hiii

Hello Today I'm here sharing my layout I created for FotoBella's sketch challenge.  I used the Bo Bunny I want it all Our Lil' Monster's bundle.

I decided to use this picture of Jaleesa for this layout.  The picture is a little blurry, but it is capturing her the face she makes so perfectly when she says hi.  She almost screams it at you with a big smile and draws it out.  It is so cute and fun.

The sketch this month is a lot of fun to work with.  I kept mine pretty simple as always.  I love the bright colors of this paper collection, so much fun. And they are completely out of my norm, which was fun.

Hello and Welcome!  Today I wanted to share a layout I created for the Scrap Our Stash Challenge #12.  The challenge was to use the sketch, heart patterned paper, prepackaged hearts and arrows.  I also am entering this layout into Kelly's February color challenge, Rochelle's Tic Tac Toe board (diagonal-one word title, heart, lined paper) and Kristi B Word inspiration challenge (love).

I don't know how I managed to combine all of these challenges into one layout but I did and it was a lot of fun seeing if I could get all these challenges into one layout.

So on with my layout.  I did this layout about my daughter's.  I happen to catch them in a moment when they were sitting nicely together,sharing and creating Valentine's cards.  They actually usually play pretty well together but this day they were being sisters and pestering one another.  I went downstairs to do a load of laundry and came back upstairs to see that my husband had sat them both down and told them to color for a little while.

{Scrappy Goodness} Hello Winter

Hello and Welcome!  Today I created a layout for Sketch N Scraps #50 sketch.  I thought it was such a fun sketch.  I managed to squeeze one more picture on the layout.

Like most of the Northeast USA we have been getting a lot of snow this year.  One of those days we ventured out to create a snowman with the girls.  They had so much fun in the snow and John loved showing them how to make a snowman.

On with my interpretation of the sketch.
