Nuts About Sketches - Week 163

Wow May has come and gone.... sooooooooo fast.... and guess what... I didn't complete a single page this month :(  Hopefully June will be a much better month for scrapping for me.

Here is this week's fab sketch from Nuts About Sketches

I made myy layout for this sketch in April already so it has been a while since I did it.  I used a chipboard train on it for embellishment which I coloured-in in koki.... not the prettiest train but it does the job!

This sketch is super versatile and fits lots of themes.... you can see lots of variety on the blog this week.

Nuts About Sketches - Week 162

Yet another week has passed while we were all busy.... and even Monday has come and gone..... can we please slow time down just a tad?  While you think on that, here is this week's sketch from Nuts About Sketches

For my layout I turned the sketch by 90 degrees and then went very South African in colours to keep with the theme in the photo.

Head over to the NAS blog to see all the design team layouts.... there are lots of lovely details in each layout that make them worth exploring.

Nuts About Sketches - Week 161

Wow where did this last week go?  And look at that I missed Monday totally.... so only a day late here is this week's sketch from Nuts About Sketches.

I choose to do some photos of my "boys" making me breakfast.

Once again the design team have out done themselves with wonderful varied examples.... check out the blog to see them.

Lucky weekend

I found out yesterday that I won .... again!!!!  Yip in the last blog candy that I posted about.... from Phoenix Craft Den.... how fun is that!

Dancing on Google

Today's Google is very cute.... here is the end pic but you must go see it in action.... so nice...

Nuts About Sketches - Week 160

I tried very hard last night to post this sketch but blogger was misbehaving!  So we try again today for this week's Nuts About Sketches sketch....

For my layout I used photos from our holiday in December... this is a place we had tea at on the 26th of December...hence the Christmas themed paper too.

Make sure you check out the blog post to see what the rest of the Design Team did this week.... also keep those layouts for the birthday celebrations coming in... there are a few up already... you have till the 15th of May.

A little Google of Men & Miss

Today's google page has 16 different pics... how cool are these....

Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Tiny, Little Miss Naughty, Little Miss Shy, Little Miss Sunshine, Little Miss Chatterbox, Little Miss Curious, Mr. Messy, Mr. Rush, Mr. Happy, Mr. Dizzy, Mr. Forgetful, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Bump, Mr. Slow and Mr. Funny.
Which one is your fave?  They all bring lots of smiles to my face.

Happy Mother's Day

From Google....

and from me!  I sure wish all the moms I know a very very happy Mother's Day.  I got spoilt this morning with a cup of hot chocolate and toast in bed... all made by my little 9 year old.

Nuts About Sketches - Birthday Celebration 7

This is our last sketch in the birthday celebrations for Nuts About Sketches.

My layout for this sketch

I used lots of leftovers to create this page.... nice to use up scraps when creating pages.



So now you have seven sketches with which to create your layouts..... link them on the Nuts About Sketches blog before 15 May 2011 and you can win an awesome prize.

We have now reached the end of the birthday celebration of Nuts About Sketches, but that doesn't mean the end of sketches..... remember there is a new one each Monday.  Happy scrapping.

Scrapkits part 2

I spent most of last week doing some more layouts by Scrapkits.... absolutely love that it's all planned out for me and all I need to do is cut and paste!  Perfect for doing in the evenings while watching tv.  I did do a bit of shrinking by turning some of the doubles into singles!  So prepare for a layout heavy post!

 

A lot of these pages have mini books on them too, or tags or pockets... so lots and lots of photos were scrapped!  Slowly but surely I have made some inroads into my layout a day goal, though I am still horribly behind target.  I did manage to scrap 35 layouts in April though!!!
