Critter Sketch Challenge Blog - Challenge 141

Welcome to another challenge from Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is a sketch...  I absolutely loved the sketch and knew right away that I would be able to easily turn it into layout.

When I showed my kids and hubby this layout - they both asked why the picture was upside down... but really - that's how Molly was sleeping.. tucked up under the blanket - and you can't really see because of the flash - but she looks like she's holding the edge of the blanket.  She's such an adorable dog!

Supplies - Cardstock - I think it was Recollections, patterned paper and embellishments are all from Bella Blvd.'s "Tail Waggers and Cat Naps" line.  I also used Stickles to bling up the strip across the top.

Here is the sketch from the fabulous sketch designer Colleen Spangler.

Critter Challenge #137

Soft Pencil, pop over to see their cute stamps!

This week our challenge was to use our favourite thing about fall as our inspiration.  Well the first year our boys came, my sister dragged me to the pumpkin patch.  I really didn't want to go - not sure why, but I just wasn't into it.. well that was until we got there.  We had so much FUN!  It was seriously one of the best days ever.  I actually did 12 double page layouts just from that day.

This picture is from our second year.  

We always have lots of laughs.

Supplies: Paper, chipboard, flag are all from the Bella Blvd "Thankful" line.  The buttons are from Bella Blvd as well.

Critter Challenge #135

Welcome to a new month over at the 

Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.

This month we are being sponsored by

Soft Pencil, who has the most adorable digital stamps, pop over to see!

So this month we were given the following recipe to use... two different ribbons, two brads, and 2 different colours of paper (can be patterned).

Here is my layout. 

My oldest son playing Spring Soccer.

I did cheat a little, instead of using two ribbons, I used one ribbon and one strip of Washi tape.  I have found that I'm using less and less ribbon and more and more Washi tape.

Supplies:

Ribbon - blue from my stash

Cardstock base - Bazzill

Patterned Paper - Bella Blvd.

Brads - American Crafts

Washi Tape - Bella Blvd.

Critter Challenge 131 - School is Cool

Ok..  so I know that most kids are back in school already, but my kids don't start until this week, Carsyn - who is starting Grade Nine starts on Tuesday.  Brayden who is going into Grade 10 starts Wednesday.  This year we had a major reconfiguration amongst the grades so both boys are starting at High School together.

This is a picture from June, on the last day of school.  This is my long haired boy, Brayden. (Who thankfully chose to cut his hair last week!!) The third boy is Carsyn's best friend - who stays with us often as he lives on the outskirts of town and plays sports in town and it is just easier for him to stay with us.

When I saw the "later gator" in Bella Blvds. "Baby Boy" line I just knew I had to use them for the boys' last day at Southgate, where their school mascot was a gator.

Supplies used:
All product - paper, buttons, flag were from Bella Blvd.'s - Baby Boy line


Please make sure you check out the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog and enter your "School is Cool" creation.  You just might win the monthly prize!

This month the sponsor is SKDigis

Challenge 127 - Round it Up!

Another challenge over at the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog.

Here is my layout...  I have been wanting to scrapbook these pictures for a long time and when I saw the "Round it Up" challenge I knew that these big round moons would be the perfect photos.

I love this sketch, which I learned in a class that Jennifer Edwardson teaches.  I have used layout several times - I love that I can get the details along with the big pictures.

Supplies Used: All of the paper is from Sei's "Moon Rise"; letters were in an open package in my stash.

Please make sure you check out our monthly sponsor and enter your chance to win their fantastic prize.
