Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 308

I've just had a long weekend at home... it's been a great time to watch Olympics ... well done Team South Africa... and also to scrap.

EDITED: all this came to a great crashing note on Saturday at 4pm. Mom phoned me to tell me the dreadful news that my Dad had died. You can read more in my post about my Dad.

Here is my layout for today

This is another layout that I rotated a bit to make it work around my photo.

It was based on this awesome sketch

It's Snowing

Brrrr just when we thought winter was over, we've been hit with a freezing cold front that has brought SNOW!!! Needless to say, Aaron is happy!

I feel like a little kid too... it is sooooooo beautiful to see and feel the snow falling.

This was a harder flurry that came through and I managed to capture the snow falling!

Happy little boy ... even with some snow drops on his beanie

My absolute fav action shot!

So yes, the snow didn't really reach the ground and cover it... but just to see it falling has been a treat. 

(We are hoping it will snow more overnight so that we can stay home tomorrow.)

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 307

First Monday in August already.... wow the months are flying past.  I've spent most of the last week and this past weekend, glued to the tv watching the Olympics.  I reckon this week ahead will be no different.  At least I might even get some scrapping done while watching... it's called multi-tasking!

Here is my layout for today:

Based on this sketch from Scrapbook Challenges.

Don't forget to head over to the forum to see what the rest of the Sketch Crew did this week... there is lots of inspiration.

Our Sizzling Summer of Sketches will continue tomorrow.

Scrapbook Challenges - SCSS #3

This week has been such a fun week with the Olympics going on.... South Africa has now won 3 GOLD and 1 SILVER medal.... wow.... what a great way to spend the week.... glued in front of my tv cheering on our athletes..... unfortunately no scrapping has happened!  But I did scrap lots last week on the Sizzling Summer Sketches, so no fear there are layouts aplenty coming.

Friday was Day 3 of SCSS and another layout from me.  This one is about my birthday presents I received last year.

Here is the sketch:

The Sketch Crew are scrapping up a storm... so be sure to head to the forum for even more inspiration.
