Play Ball!

Happy Wednesday!  I thought I'd share the new double-page sketch over at Let's Scrap that Cheri posted today.  This was a fun sketch that allowed me to get a lot of photos in one layout!  (LOVE that!)  Here is this week's sketch:

My layout is of a trip to the Braves game last summer.  We had really good seats on the 1st base line, but half-way through the game we went up to our friend's suite and watched from there.  It was fun!  Here's my layout:

Supplies used:

Paper:  CTMH

Chipboard Stars:  Breezy Designs

Photo Corners:  Scenic Route

Die Cut Title:  Cricut's Plantin Schoolbook

Blog Hop Winner!!

So, I'm a little late getting this posted, but I did want to announce the winner of my stop along the Let's Scrap Blog Hop!!   Drum roll please................

Rachel Campbell was the winner of my Blog Hop Challenge.  You can see her winning layout here.  I just love how she quoted her son saying pirate as "pie-dat."  Soooooo cute!

Rachel will be receiving this little bit of scrapiness from me:

I've been working on some Design Team layouts for Let's Scrap, but I can't share them yet!  You'll have to keep watching for Cheri's new sketches each week!

Wednesday Card Sketch

Well, it's Wednesday..... so you know what that means!?  A new sketch is up over at Let's Scrap!  Now, a card-maker I'm really not, but I did have fun with this sketch!  The sketch posted by Kim was pretty tricky.... but here's what I came up with:

I bought the new Paisley Cricut Cartridge and couldn't resist using the big chunky heels!  With two boys, I really don't have much hope of using these for them - lol!  I added some little flowers from my Sizzix and printed the sentiment on my computer - and there you have it.  Nothing fancy, but kind of fun!  Now, who should I send this to?!

Make sure and stop by Let's Scrap to see everyone's creations!

Disney Layout!

So.... I loved this week's sketch so much at Let's Scrap, that I decided to do another one!  This is actually the layout I "envisioned" in my head when I first saw the sketch, but just couldn't get my "scrap on" so I put it aside.  This weekend I had a chance to finish it.  I had fun making the ribbon banner and it was so easy to do.  (And who doesn't have extra ribbon they can use?!)  Here is my layout (click for larger image):

Supplies used:

Patterned Paper & Black Fiber:  EK Success

Rub-ons & Embellishmets:  Creative Imaginations

Ribbon:  Michael's

I also just have to share that I received an email that one of my layouts is going to be published in the online magazine Scrapbook News & Review!  I am sooooo excited as this is my first publication!!  It debuts May 23rd!  Woo hoo!!

Hope you all have a scraptacular week!

New Let's Scrap Sketch - Love the Banner!

Hi!  Just a quick post to let you know a new sketch is up over at Let's Scrap!  It's a very fun double-page layout with a cool banner across the top!  These are so popular right now and I was excited to see this sketch!  I've completed one layout with some beach photos and am already working on another with some Disney photos.  So many possibilities with this sketch.  Here it is:

And here is my take on this sketch:

Here's a closeup of my banner:

I'll include my supply list later - I am just too pooped to figure it all out!  I was happy to use up some old stash though - always a great feeling!  :)

And I just have to include two more pictures.  Every year we have doves build a nest on our front porch.  Well, I was fortunate enough to catch these photos.  

Here are mom and dad perched on our fence:

And here are the baby doves in their nest:

Isn't that the sweetest?!

Ok, off to read and then get to sleep.  Maybe I'll get some scrapping done tomorrow!

:)  Thanks for stopping by!
