Get Picky Sketch

I just found this sketch site called Get Picky. And this months sponsor is Purple Pumpkin so really wanted play. I used a Midnight Rooster June kit.
This is my son who is in love with candy! Everytime we go to the post office or bank his first words are "Can I have lollipop?"

Closeups: Look at those cute little buttons. How perfect are those for this layout?! (they came in the kit ;) )

Pretty Little Studio Sketch

Hello! It's almost Friday and I can't wait! We are leaving for vacation for a week! So I wanted to get some challenge posted that I have been working. I did the sketch challenge over at Pretty Little Studio. I won a couple of weeks ago and used my GC to buy some of the new Antique collection. Let me tell you it is such a pretty line! I bought the paper pack, buttons, and tags.

Here is my layout and below is a little step by step.

Here is a close up:



First I made a grid on the back of my paper:


Then I used the all over border punch:


Then I cut out the little squares that came on the "demo" sheet:


Thanks for looking!

Sassafras Challenge Week

Hello! I have had a fun week working on the Sassafras challenges! They posted a challenge everyday this week (except Monday)! I don't have a lot of Sassafras since my LSS doesn't sell their lines so I had to use what I had gotten in my kits. So you'll notice I have mixed a lot of their lines together. And I think they mix well.

First challenge was a journaling challenge from Megan. I took this opportunity to use the interview I did with my son back in June for his 5th Birthday.



Second Challenges was from Marcy and she want you to use your alphas some other way then in a title. I choose to use my l and i's and make them look like stitching. And also the little strip on the side; I used the o's to make a border.


Third Challenge was from Kimberly. And it was to do a layout about a "family tradition". I choose to do a layout about going to the lake we go to every year.


And the forth challenge is from Michelle and she issued a color challenge. The bottom middle photo reminded me of this picture I had of the boys running and the colors were so fun!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl!!

Happy 1st Birthday to our Baby Girl Hannah Alyssa!! Love you!!

Purple Pumpkin Giveaway!

Sketchy Thursday's

Hello! I have been so busy lately. How about you? I went school shopping for my 2 the other day and got a lot done! I love Kohl's!! When they say they pay you to shop they aren't kidding! I got some awesome deals! And Kohl's cash on top of that!

After we went shopping we went to a duck pond and for ice cream at a local old fashion dairy.

I used the GDT sketch from Sketchy Thursdays and some papers from Pretty Little Studio.


I love this picture where Hannah is sticking her tongue out waiting for her turn.

Love the little vintage tags.



Here is this week sketch too:




I also used a prompt from Scrapping Everyday Miracles. You were to scrap something that started your day and use stitching.

Sweet Peach Scraplift

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great week! I am! This week has flown by for me. Any plans this weekend? I'm hoping to take my oldest school shopping. Yes, you read that right. I want to get an early start since I have 2 this year going.

Today over at Sweet Peach I post the new challenge. It is a super fun one! Scraplifting the DT!! Since this is their first month I thought this would be a good way to honor them and their amazing talent!

I took longer picking the layout to scraplift then I did working on the layout LOL!

Here is my take on a layout by Sara: I used the Sweet kit and a little bit of Juicy.


Here is Sara's using the Juicy!


Hope you jump over and join us!

Elle's Studio Sketch

Happy 4th of July! I got some time to scrap today YAY! So pulled up the sketch from Elle's Studio, printed a big picture from PSE, layed out my Sweet Peach kit, and went to work.

I had fun fussy cutting and playing with foldies and using some Elle's Studio tags/flashcards. It felt so good to scrap today!

This is a picture I took yesterday of my four kids out at the Gutshall farm.


Here is a close up of the title. I put part of my title on the photo and used Elle's Studio flash cards for the other half of the title.

I took the Maya Road flowers and put on the Sassafras Foldies.

I used one of my Elle's Studio tags as a background for the stripes of paper from the Cosmo Cricket paper.

I did some hand cutting with the Webster's Pages paper and added some buttons and pearls.


I also used an Elle's Studio tag on the side of the picture.
