So Sketchy #6

Now, I'm getting ready to show you something.
and I don't want you to be alarmed,
but I do feel you would be safer sitting down.
It's nothing to be afraid of,
but it's very alarming, nonetheless.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Okay..........................
here goes:
TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank You!! Thank You!!
Please, no applause:)
What possessed me to do a 2-page layout?
I have NO idea.
I cannot even remember the last time I did a 2-page layout.
But, I printed off these pictures & headed over to So Sketchy.
I needed a sketch for 5 pictures & when I saw this 2-pager sketch,
I thought................I can do this!!
And I did..................me so happy:)
I used some Glitz Design papers,
WHICH I got for free from Label Tulip last month (they totally rawk)
with the pumpkin stem being cut from a piece of Collage Press.

So, because it is a two-page layout,
have I mentioned that it's a two-page layout?
I just want to be sure,
because it's definitely worth mentioning that it's a two-page layout!!
But, because it is..............it seemed to take me forever.
Now, please let me go, as I must sleep!!

CPS 88 and 89

So I finally feel like I'm catching up.
I really enjoy sketches
& CPS is one of my favorite sketch sites.
The following cards were made using CPS 88 and CPS 89.
Now, I realize neither of these really looks like the sketch,
but they really were my inspiration for both cards.
This first is using some of my yummy new MME Christmas stuff.

This second card is using more of the Target monsters!!
I might make another bookmark for this too?
Kinda looks too Halloweenish too...........dang it!!

Okay, that's all I have for now.
I hope you're having a blessed Wednesday.

So Sketchy....................

It's amazing how much work I can get done,
when my computer decides to update itself,
AGAIN!!
About 3-weeks ago Microsoft decided to update,
and it took my computer 8-hours to complete the update.
Today, I had to reboot my computer
and it starts another update!!
So, I managed to get some more cards & a layout completed.
Still plugging away at some So Sketchy sketches.
I'm really enjoying the diversity of these sketches.
The following card was made using the Oct #3 sketch.
I found these little monsters in the dollar spot @ Target.
I searched for them after I saw them here.
I just love Danni's work......truly inspiring.

This layout was done using October #4 layout sketch.
I just realized it was supposed to be an 8.5x11,
but I did a 12x12.
These are pictures from this Halloween.
What she doesn't realize............
this was her sister's costume from 3-years ago.
It fit her perfectly,
so I took the other one back to the store.
It's hard to see, but I heat embossed & added glitter
to the chipboard flourishes.

I have 2 other cards I did today,
but I'll post them later tomorrow.
I'm gonna try to make a few more projects
before going to bed!!

So Sketchy Card Sketch #7

As I mentioned before,
I found another sketch site through Christine Penaflor.
It's So Sketchy & I'm certain it's been around for awhile,
but I'm just finding it & really like their sketches.
So, yesterday I made another card,
using card sketch #7.
This card uses some Daisy Ds & MME papers
coupled with new K&Co die-cuts.
I just love these colors for Christmas.

Since I just got my new MME & K&Co Christmas stuff,
you'll be seeing a lot of Christmas cards & such.
I'm hoping to do some layouts today too.
Please don't forget to vote!!!

Feeling rejuvinated.................

I haven't scrapped in a week
& I feel rejuvinated.
Last week was hectic
with birthday happenings & Halloween.
It was wonderful time spent with my sweet girls
& lots of memories to cherish.

So today I decided the only thing happenin'
was the laundry & scrappin'!!
I started with Laura's 12 sketch from 2 Sketches 4 U.
I've been hoarding this Sassafras ad that came in a CK mag for weeks.
I finally decided to cut it apart & use it for this sketch.
I love how it turned out,
but it always helps to have great paper to work with!

I also managed to get Joke's Bonus sketch done from last week.
I guess this is "technically" not a card, but I love it!!
I'll probably hang this somewhere in my house for the holidays
or gift it to someone who will.

I have sooooooooooo much new product
just waiting to be played with,
so I'm hoping to play more tonight.
I hope you all get out & vote tomorrow!!
Thanks for stopping by
