Scrap It With A Song - Fifteen

Today over at Scrap It With A Song we are dancing to the tune of Fifteen by Taylor Swift.

It was hard to come up with something for this challenge and I thought I would write about fifteen things that I love at the moment.  It was a fun layout to do as I used my new Silhouette Cameo to cut the chevron background and the large flower.

15 Things I Love

Come play along with us Rock Chicks at Scrap It With A Song and upload your take on the song "Fifteen" and you may be our next guest designer.

Thanks for stopping by!

Canadian Scrapbooker Sketchy Challenge


I love Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine and I have every issue of this magazine and also the special volumes since its inception.  They are a talented bunch of ladies and I am fortunate to personally know some of these ladies.  Every month, there is a sketchy challenge and since I love sketches, I thought I would give one a try.

Busted

This cutie is my daughter's nephew and he is such a sweetie.  One day his mom caught him eating some Nutella and snapped this priceless photo.  I couldn't help but scrap it.  

If you want to see the sketch, go to the Canadian Scrapbooker website and click on the link "Sketchy Challenges".  

Have a creative day!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #312

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a creative weekend!  Scrapbook Challenges has a new sketch to inspire you today.

I loved this sketch and loved creating with it.  The layout I created is a birthday layout of my son when he turned twelve years old.

Twelve Years

I used the new Theresa Collin's "Vintage Finds" collection and the chevron doily in the background was cut on my new Silhouette Cameo.  It is going to be so fun to create with.

Here is the sketch that I used to create this layout with:

I hope you are inspired to create.  You can upload to the forums and gallery at Scrapbook Challenges and play along.  

Have a great week!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #311

Today is the beginning of the work week and for many it's the first day for many students going back to school because here in Canada we celebrated Labour Day yesterday.  Every year on the first weekend in September it is a statutory holiday for us and a day off work for many.

I have a layout to share with you from a sketch from Scrapbook Challenges.  This layout is of my youngest son when he was three years old.  He is now taller than me and starting the eighth grade.

My Little Boy

Wasn't he a cute little gaffer?  Here is the sketch that I was inspired to create this layout with:

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #311 -1


and there is also a two page sketch for this as well.

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #311-2

I hope you are inspired to try one of these sketches.  Come join us at Scrapbook Challenges and upload  to our gallery and join us in the forums.  We always have something fun going on.

Have a creative week!
