Creative Scrappers 128

Sketch is from http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/.  While I didn't have ay 12" wide format pictures, I did have a 5x7 that I wanted to get scrapped.  So I adapted.  Paper is the old Basic Grey Color Me Silly line.  I have a full sheet of blue and a couple scraps left.  Almost gone.  Whew.  Scroll Rub-ons are 7Gypsies and small Rub-on letters in the title are from Autumn Leaves.  Large black title letters are Pressed Petals Chip Chatter.  They are distressable and are supposed to be self adhesive.  But they are too old and the adhesive is only a little yellow color rather than a sticky practicality... lol.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #126

Sketch is from
http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/.  Paper is Fancy Pants Rough and Tough line.  Chipboard tickets and stars were in my stash and I don't remember the manufacturer.  The little green guy is from Cricut's Mini Monsters cartridge.  The background green paper and the stars paper are actually one sheet that I cut the middle from, distressed the edges and adhered them to a freebie white page protector insert that I save for just these needs.  Saved from cutting into a second paper.

This is a sketch from http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/.  I used some really, really old paper up for this one.  The old Memory Makers Cheeky line.  Feels good to use some of the old stuff up. 


Sketches4you Halloween #2

This challenge was not a sketch.  It was a Halloween poem and chipboard challenge.  The arrow is a painted chipboard piece.  The picture is my brother and me in 1965.  I looked whiny and crabby even back then, didn't I?  The challenge is from the Halloween Event at http://sketchesforyou.ning.com/.

Page Maps - Ally Scraps

This sketch is from http://www.pagemaps.com/.  I was inspired by the "frame" around the layout as well as the placement of the picture(s).  This is David's first day of fourth grade at a brand new school.

Inspired Blueprints Sketch 54

This sketch is from http://inspiredblueprints.blogspot.com/ and I reall like how the layout turned out.  Now if we could just get the teacher to stay, I would love the layout even more.  She has decided that this position at our charter school is not a good fit for her right now.  We are saddened.
