Sketchy Thursdays 6 23 11

This week's sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays. Another good one. I just love this hat Kiera received as a gift.

Sketch Inspiration #225

Some day I'll take the time to take a picture of my LO's that aren't crooked. For now, this will just have to do. I was able to get a few more pages done today with the assistance of my two helpers, Macy and Kiera. Well, OK, the baby didn't reaaly "help," but she did nap quite a bit while Macy and I scrapped and worked at the store Paper Dreams.  I used the Lime Rickety line; there are too many yummy embellishments and papers to count. I love them all though. :0) I even did some misting with a chipboard to create the bracket.  Think I will have to try this technique again, especially with a less busy background.

Here's the latest Sketchy Thursdays challenge. I love this Sophia paper pack from Close to My Heart.

The LO was based on this sketch:

I also had some time to do one other page from  Sketch Inspiration #224.

The kids love going to a local pottery place to paint. They giggle every time they say the name of the store. It's fun knowing they get the play on words. Besides, these two never pass up a time to use some bathroom humor. ;)

6.9.11 Sketchy Thursdays Challenge

It's Sketchy Thursdays time again! I created this LO using Baubles from Pink Paislee, as well as papers from Basic Grey Cupcake line, and October Afternoon.

Pleating was also used- it added a bit more color I think! I love the bauble from pinkpaislee, too.

I have also decided it is time for a new camera. The images always turn out with a yellow tinge, no matter what kind of lighting used. Great excuse to go shopping, don't you think?!?

5.26 Sketchy Thursdays Challenge-Dino Night

This week's Sketch Thursdays sketch lent itself perfectly for some pictures of Isaac's dinosaur project at school.

Second graders put on a Dino Night at school every year. Isaac spent most of his Spring Break this year plotting, planning, researching, and creating his dinosaur diarama for Dinosaur Night. He did some research and drew a volcano background. The dinosaur fossil kits he got from our Sternberg Museum trip worked perfectly for his diorama. Throw in a few fake plants, a few smaller plastic dinosaurs, and voila!---the diorama was born! One of his favorite school projects so far for sure.

Sketch #220, Sketch Inspiration

Have I mentioned how much I love sketches? I don't think I could scrap without them! For my birthday today, I asked that I be allowed to scrapbook uninterrupted. Sooo, Scott took the kids, and I spent some time at my scrap desk. This lasted for all of 30 minutes, and it was NOT uninterrupted. But, it was more time than I have had in a month. It was a great day! Here is one layout that I did manage to complete today, for the Sketch Inspiration weekly challenge.

Sketchy Thursdays 4.14.11 Challenge

I love a good double page layout, don't you?  Sketchy Thursdays challenge this week was perfect for the egg hunt pictures taken last Easter.

Now here is my take on this week's sketch.

This is my last week at home, so I am really trying to get some scrapping done. Paper used was from Quite Contrary from MME the TSR kit, and miscellaneous flowers from my stash. The chipboard butterflies were something new this time. I struggle with how to use chipboard, so I covered one with paper and inked the other two. Thanks for looking!
