CPS #56 & Sketch This Cards #44 & Sketch This #46

I've been busy & I'm loving it. My pile of kits is getting smaller & I'm feeling better about my new purchases..............I feel I'll be using them sooner then later. I actually love this card. I did it using the lastest CP sketch #56. Their theme was Spring, so if you consider "new love" a spring theme, then it's fine:)

More pictures from my trip to Ashland, IL. This is my dad's hometown & where I used to visit my grandparents. Our last trip was in 2006 for my grandfather's funeral & these photos document parts of the town that are meaningful to me & my family.

This is actually using Sketch This Cards sketch #44. I started with the Jenni Bowlin "Lucky" card & was going to hang it by a ribbon & then decided to put it on a layout instead, so it's a layout instead. I love how it turned out & the colors are so Springy.

These are just 3 of my nieces. I have 3 more:) These photos were also taken on my same Ashland, IL trip in 2006. I went to my sister's in KS & we drove over together. I couldn't get the layout to scan very well because the American Crafts felt w/bird is dimensional, so the colors are wacky. For this layout, I used Sketch This's #46 sketch & turned it. I will say I'm not a fan of the Daisy Ds runner rub-ons.......I have about 4 of them & can't get any of them to work consistently or very well. I used one for the butterfly trail & it quit on me 1/2 way through.

Not sure I'll get much else done this week. Usually after Mondays I don't, but I will have some time on Friday.................maybe then?

Are you ready for Easter? I'm not. I just realized yesterday I haven't even gotten Easter outfits for the girls or myself. That's what I'll be doing on Friday & we might do some furniture shopping tomorrow. Seems a local store is moving & they want to get rid of some stuff so they don't have to move it!! Hoping to find some things we've been needing.

Hope you have a great week!!
