PageMaps & Websters Pages Challenge

Somehow I have managed to sneak in another layout this week. There was a challenge at the Pagemaps blog that joined forces with Websters Pages and I just couldn't resist the combo. Here is the Pagemaps sketch:

New Sketch To Try

This week at Scrap and Stamp there is a new sketch challenge to try out. Take a look and give it a try, you have two weeks to complete it. Our sponsor this week is Torta Gialla Designs, and they are giving away a $10 gift certificate prize!
Here is the sketch:

This is my interpretation of the sketch, I did an altered shadowbox frame that is also a wedding gift for this weekend!

My Sketch at Scrap and Stamp

This week at Scrap and Stamp they are featuring a sketch challenge by yours truly, me. So you simply must play along! Remember from now on, you have two weeks to complete the challenge, so no excuses. The sponsor this week is Inktegrity Digital Images, be sure to check them out. Here is the sketch, it can be interpreted however you like as long as you add a stamp to it.

This is my take on the sketch, of course another double layout.

This layout celebrated the last day of school campout of my teen daughter and her friends. Love the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed lines explosive colors and playful patterns. They had a blast by the way.

Another Sketch Challenge

This week at Scrap and Stamp is another sketch challenge. This sketch (see below) is a fun one full of possibilities, so take a look at the website here and give it a try. You just need to use your interpretation of the sketch and stamp somewhere on the layout.  Also this weeks sponsor just happens to be Jillibean Soup and you could win a stamp set, ribbon set and pack of sprouts.

Here is my interpretation of the sketch, I used BoBunny Peacock Lane and love these vibrant colors. Who could resist the smiles in this photo? Irresistible!

Hope to share more soon, have a fabulous weekend!

As You Wish

So this has been a crazy busy week, house cleaning for a showing Sunday and then both kids have been sick. One with an unidentified ailment and the baby with Strep Throat. Yuck, hate seeing either of them hurting so I am a bit worn out and sleep deprived. But I did manage to complete my sketch challenge for the design team at Scrap & Stamp. Here is this weeks sketch:

So below is my take on this sketch, it is a bit different for me almost has a gothic look and feel. Not sure where that came from but it is always fun to experiment with different styles. The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies and that is where the title came from. My favorite features are the flowers stamped in white ink on black polka dot paper and the double ric-rac trim with one row popped up.

Well gotta run, have a great weekend!

And When You Pray...

So I know I promised Easter photos next, but technically the photos in this layout are from Easter Sunday. I did this layout today for this sketch challenge at My Minds Eye (http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/2010/04/challenge-10-dream-big.html) blog and wanted to share it. This was the sketch:

It also had to use a line from a song called: Dream Big by Ryan Shupe & The RubberBand. So I chose the line that begins "And when you pray." Of course I instantly thought of the photos I recently caught of Gabriel's first attempts at praying. So here is my version of the above sketch:

 There it is another first for Gabe, praying. I also sent out a phone video message today of him praying and playing the piano. Quite the combo act he's got. At the moment he and Daddy are playing carnival ride with a plastic toy bin that happens to have wheels. Never a dull moment around here. Happy Friday!
