Nuts About Sketches - Week 132

Sorry for the few day's delay in getting this post up... I've been reading lots and not doing a heck of a lot of other stuff... but that's a whole different topic.

This week's sketch is a great single page

And here is my layout...

My journalling is all about how blessed I feel having a son who reads and even more blessed that he enjoys reading the Bible.

Make sure you check out this week's blog post at Nuts About Sketches as the design team has some great examples for you to see.

It's me....

who won!!!! Yippy!!!

I had planned to play along all weekend at the {SAS}sy Scrap Pink Crop... but life got in the way again... hehehe.... birthday party, lunch in and lunch out and simply no scrapping done!  BUT I did manage to enter some of the games and with a few hours of good internet searching I found all the clues in Sophia's game about finding the manufacturer and the product.... which led to me winning a prize.... what that is yet I don't know... but I'm a happy scrapper that't for sure!!!

Nuts About Sketches - Week 131

A double page sketch with LOTS of photos... my perfect sort of page to scrap.

I sure used LOTS of photos on this one.... because I didn't have all the jumbos, I used lots and lots of little ones and made them take the place of the jumbos... I love how this layout showcases all the different things Aaron got up to while on a caravan holiday with Papa & Granny.

Be sure to go to the Nuts About Sketches blog this week.... there is soooooooooooo much inspiration happening over there and you can see what the Design Team produced with this amazing sketch.

What fun.... and today we went to a church who were celebrating their 10th anniversary on the 10th day of the 10th month 2010.... how cool is that!!!

Happy Birthday

from Google to John Lennon....

I love the music from the Beatles and some of John Lennon's latest stuff.... so good to hear a few being played on the radio now and then.

September Challenge Layout

In2Crafts had a challenge in September called "love is in the air".... we had to create a layout using "love" colours.... I came up with this....

The winners were chosen by random.org... and NO it wasn't me this time!  Now I need to do October's challenge... all about Books.

Nuts About Sketches - Week 129

It's Monday and so that means a new sketch is up at Nuts About Sketches.

I love multi-photo layouts and here is what I created with this sketch:

The little book on the left has all the concert posters in it and will eventually also contain my journalling.

Sketch-A-Thon

Over the month of September there was a Sketch-A-Thon at Sketches4All and I decided to try my hand at a few of them... here is what I created:

Prechallenge Card 1

SATLO#4

SATLO#5

SATLO#7

SATLO#8

Points were scored for each challenge completed and and extra one if you used fall colours or school theme.... so my total earned on these challenges is 8.

Yummy stuff up for grabs
