NAS Sketch and Other Things

I'm sure everyone else has been very busy through the holidays! Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday, but the hustle and bustle leading up to it nowadays can really get to me. I try to pare it down, but between school and church activities it is still crazy! Somehow, I still find time to scrap. My biggest inspiration are the daily challenges at Scrap Orchard. If you haven't checked them out--do it now! :)

Here's my layout for the sketch at Nuts About Sketches this week:

All paper and elements from Here Comes Trouble kit by Tracie Stroud and Tracy Reed.

All paper and elements from April Showers mega from SO except paper punches from Karah Fredericks and Bunny Trail alpha by Jady Day Studio. Template by Fiddle Dee Designs.

All paper and elements from Colour Me Girl/Boy bundle by Lyndsay Riches except U from A Life Expressed megastash alphas, "me" from Bunny Trail alphas by Julie Bullock, "happy" from Garden Alpha by Julie Bullock.

Bacground template from Scrappin with Liz. All paper and elements from Just A Kid by Fee Jardin except Color Me Happy alphas by Zoe Pearn.

I've gotten a few more layouts done over the past couple of weeks, but this is all I'm gonna hit you with! :) I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and I wish you a very happy New Year!

NAS and Pxl Cafe Reveals

Wow! We have had a tremendous response to the free kit! I hope everyone enjoys it and can usse it on lots of fun winter pages. My portion of the kit was my first dabble into design. I enjoyed it, but I just do not have the time to attempt anything else at this time. However, that is not to say I won't have a few freebies to offer at times! ;)

Now, to the good stuff! This week's featured kit at Pxl Cafe is Timeless. Here is the page I created with it:

I also created a page for the Nuts About Sketches sketch this week. Here's the sketch:

And here's my layout. I used Prince Charming kit by Designs by Kat at Scrap Orchard except the alpha which I cannot find a TOU for-sorry.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired by these wonderful kits and Shawn's great sketch!

Reveals!!

This week I thoroughly enjoyed both the sketch at NAS and the kit from Pxl Cafe! So, without further ado, here are the layouts!

The first layout is based on the left portion of the NAS sketch and was made using Love Don't Cost A Thing kit by Secret Stash. The two-pager is the full sketch and was made using Storytime by Kristin Aagard and Nikki Beaudreau.

Both layouts were made with the Christmas Is Coming kit that debuted at Pxl Cafe . Head on over and check it out! The alpha on this last one is available at Pxl Cafe as well.
