28 Layouts in August!!!

Here's another one I did tonight. I think that makes 28 for the month of August!!! It's a record for me! All the daily challenges at Scrap Orchard and the sketch blogs I am following are really keeping me inspired. This is a lo about Anna's 1st day of  PreK. It is funny now that she has finished two wonderful years there to look back and see how nervous she was!

Little Sleeping Beauty

Here's a layout of my little Katie when she was just a baby. It is based on Sketchy Thursday sketch. Paper and elements from Fairy Tale Dream by Nit Wit Collections. Some church members lost their little 5 year old  girl today and it made me stop and thank God for my wonderful, healthy children! Take time to do that today and give them a hug whether they are young or old! Thanks for checking this out!

Life Is Sweet

Here is the layout I did for the Nuts About Sketches sketch this week. I condensed a 2 page sketch into a one-pager. I used  a freebie from Faith True Originals (Scrap Orchard) called Life Is Sweet and Awesomeness kit by Lindsay Jane (Gotta Pixel). We love to go to the park and when I looked at these pictures I instantly thought life IS sweet!

Next week will be the first reveal for the new design team at Nuts About Sketches and I am excited! I'll post my lo here as soon as they are up on the NAS blog!

Figuring Things Out?

Well, in the wee hours of the night, I finally (partially) figured out installing the blogware. It is not perfect, but it still looks cute! I have a lo I did in about 20 minutes start to finish from a free template at Scrap Orchard. Their daily challenges have really got me scrappin up a storm! The lo is simple and clean so I just used a few pics of my sweet Anna from a photo shoot last spring.

Ugh!

Okay, I have been trying to follow the instructions letter by letter to install the blogware I purchased, but as you can see I have only suceeded in installing the header. Well, it is still cuter than the plain old templates! Maybe I will figure out the rest later.

First Post

Okay, so I think I am going to try my hand at blogging. I am a member of the Nuts About Sketches design team and hope to earn more design team/creative team spots so a blog seems the best place to "publish" my layouts.  I am going to kick this off with my latest layout which is based on a one page sketch from NAS that I stretched into a 2-pager.
