Nuts About Sketches - Week 83

Another week gone on my sketch team... so here we are with Week 83's sketch... a double.



I really enjoyed this layout... maybe it's just the topic I enjoyed!  It was such a silly fun day with Aaron trying out his home-made stilts... lots of laughs! Oh and Aaron even tried them on as earrings!



So don't forget to check out the Nuts about sketches blog to see the other interpretations... even some single pages!

Blog Hopping

I've spent the last two days hopping from one blog to another in the Adorn It Make It Merry Blog Hop.  There are nearly 60 blogs taking part and each one showcases a different Christmas craft.... it sure was lots and lots of fun.  As my post got a bit lost in amongst all the others of the last few day, I thought I'd give you a link to it... so click here and then you can read all about it.

Of to do some more creating.

Google is sooooooo up to date

Talk about making a google heading that fits the current news!!! Today's one is just that...



Clicking on the link I discovered that this event happened YESTERDAY!!!  So the banner today is right smack on time... very interesting

PS - Thanks to Stefanie for the headsup on this one!  Keep them coming!

Adorn It - Day One

Yesterday was actually Day One of the Adorn It Make It Merry celebration. And for Day one there was a 30 minute challenge... so here is my entry for this challenge....

So tonight, I managed to scrap 5 little Christmas cards within 30 minutes (including a 10 minute phone call!). Looking forward to possibly doing another challenge over the weekend.

For some reason I can't change posting times on blogger... urgh! So to see the Blog Hop post... scroll down a post or three!

Get your own font

I LOVE fonts... always have and always will... and if thy are free ... even better! And now.... I've got my own scrawl as a font... yippee! It was soooooooooooooo easy. Got to http://www.fontcapture.com and you can get yours too!... four steps and you're ready to journal on your layouts in your own handwriting!

Apologies

Okay dear blog readers... if you read my blog in Google Reader you might now have 3 or 4 copies of a blog post about the Adorn It Blog Hop... sorry!


I'm soooooooooooo trying to "schedule" a post for midnight tonight (when I will be asleep!) but it WON'T.... and I can't find any reason for this... I've scheduled posts in the past but just lately they won't.... anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it????

Urgh... frustrating!

Adornit Blog Hop

Welcome to all Adorn It Blog Hoppers....Please leave me a comment on this post so that I know you visited. For my regular readers, head over to Adorn It and read more about this blog hop and follow each of the links.

So..... Christmas is coming and it's closer than you think! And at this time of year we all start thinking about making (or buying) presents... and well each present really needs a gift tag on it to say who it is for... and so I made some gift tags using my quilling and some cardstock scraps from my stash...



So here's what you need to do next....
1. Leave me a comment (please!)
2. Visit your next stop on the hop - Ali MacDonald
3. Make something creative this year

Nuts About Sketches - Week 82

This week's sketch and layouts are up at Nuts About Sketches... and here is mine for your delight!





Most of the layouts I did this month for my sketch commitment I used scraps on... it was so refreshing to actually use up some of my "scrap-stash"!

And here's the whole bunch



Today's Sesame Street party at Google... such fun!  Let's see what tomorrow holds!
