Feeling Scrappy Sketch

Here is my first sketch in the Sketchapalooza class. It's of my granddaughters at the beach. We had a great time that day, but it sure was hot! The sketch is by Stacey Curry. The paper and elements are from a collabration kit; Hot Fun in the Summertime from Funky Time by Amber and one of the paper is from Summer Fun by The Scappy Kat. I really like the way it sets the pictures off.

I'll have more later.

Skyline Scrapbook Retreat

I have just spend a fabulous weekend in Mentone, Alabama with a great group of ladies. I have learned so much and had a great time. I didn't get many pages done, but it was great meeting new faces and see some familiar faces again. It is so worth the trip to go each year.


Here are the few pages I did. The first one is of Xandra and Oscar. They were just sitting there looking out the window, and I just had to take the pictures. I used paper and elements from a couple of kits. Color Your World from Raspberry Road Design, and True Colors from Kim's Scrappin'.





This one is of JD, he was playing with Dominos at Mom and Dad's. He found a new way of playing! I took the kit from my external hard drive and when I went back to find out the name, it was gone and replaced with my new stuff! Argggg. Why did it do that? Anyway, I didn't do any of this kit on my own, and wish I could find out who actually created it. I really like it and hoped to use it again. Found it. It is a kit called Playful Boy by Wendy Whitney with Gottapixel.com. I'm so glad I found it! This also uses a sketch from Pagemaps.com from July 2008.

Challenges

I love doing challenges for scrapbooking. Unfortuately I haven't had a lot to time lately to do any. But I saw some on Sisterhood of Scrap, and decided it was time to pick it back up. They have a November Online Crop going on and there were quite a few challenges. I was able to get 5 of them done. Hope you enjoy them.

Here is Challenge 1. The challenge was a sketch designed by Sarah Slade. I used a digital kit by Raspberry Road Design called Big Boy. This is my granddaughter riding on a car.

This is Challenge 2. Use the word believe in the title. I used a sketch by Jayne Jones from the Sketchapalooza 2 class from Feeling Scrappy (they have Sketchapalooza Class 3 schedule, so check it out.) The digital kit is from Kim's Scrappin' called Christmas Morning. These are my sister three boys with Santa (my dad) on Thanksgiving. He made a special appearance that day for the kids.

The next challenge I did was challenge 6. The challenge was to use an embellishment as a letter. I haven't done this before, but liked the way it turned out. I used another sketch from the Sketchapalooza Class by Amy Bell. The digital kit is by Kim's Scrappin' Fall Splendor.

The last challenge was Challenge 9. I had to use the word "fun" in the title. My first thoughts were of the pictures here. I used a sketch by Jayne Jones for the Sketchapalooza Class. The digital kit is by Tracy's Design called Big Bounce Fun Zone.
