Nuts About Sketches - Week 337

We are on holiday.... Aaron's school has a two week break now.  We decided to have a week away at Qwantani in the Free State.... a great way to recharge the batteries.Thankfully I have internet access while on holiday (mainly so that I can do some important work stuff!) so at least I can still show my layouts for this week's reveal.

This is the sketch that we worked with:

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 412

Loved the sketch this week.... loads of pattern paper potential

I used leftovers from some pages of a kit that I got last year... they all pulled together well for this page.

This is the sketch that we worked with:

Nuts About Sketches - Week 336

I was on a creative roll a few weeks back and this is one of the pages that I made.

For this page I used some zebra paper to highlight the zebra in the photos... and then enhanced the theme more with black and white flowers.

This is the sketch that we worked with:

The new sketch is up on the blog ... I created my layout too for this sketch but changed it up a little by adding in an extra photo and moving the title down a bit.

Nuts About Sketches - Week 335

Boy oh boy, we went from winter to about a week of spring to full blown summer.  It's hot again. Yes it's great to see all the blooms, the sun and the blue sky, but I would really much prefer an easing into these boiling temperatures.  Make it 25 degrees and I would be a much happier camper person!

Anyways.... back to scrapping.  Here is my layout for this week's reveal:

This is the sketch that we worked with.

I tried to stick to it as close as possible, but did get a little carried away with some of the arrows... hehe. I at least got to use up some stash!

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 410

I was feeling ready for spring last week when I needed to do some creating for this reveal, but just couldn't find the right photos to work with the sketch.... so instead I used the mood board and created a card for the challenge.

This is the sketch that we worked with:

Nuts About Sketches - Week 334

Spring has sprung.... it's so nice to see the blooms popping out and brightening up the place.

Here is my layout for this week's reveal at NAS.  I decided to add a few extra photos to the main one to show the effect of Aaron running downhill.

This is the sketch that we had to work with.

Pop over to the blog and see some more inspiration from the DT.

Nuts About Sketches - Week 333

It is sooooooooo good to be back on the NAS design team.... here is my first page for my new term:

For this page I rotated the sketch 90 degrees and then added in an extra photo. I also got to play with my new dies from Joy crafts.... love the gears. Then for a little added effect, I embossed and sanded a piece of green cardstock (looks almost white!) which is on the right of the page.

Check out the blog to see lots more inspiration from the new team.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 409

The first official day of spring and my first layout of my new term with Scrapbook Challenges.

I had a nasty bite last year while on holiday and this is now the page to remember it by. I decided to do a little paper piecing on my page, as well as some inking, stamping and splats.

Herewith the sketch inspiration:

Head over to the blog too to see some more inspiration from the rest of the team.

Nuts About Sketches

I am definitely raring to scrap up a storm again.  I sort of took a sabbatical for this year from DT work and must admit that I have missed scrapping every weekend.  Well that's going to change now... also my blog took quite a backseat too this year with not having much scrapping to show... so hopefully I won't flood you with too many posts... but be aware they will be coming every week now.
