NATURE BEAUTY {Stick It Down DT}

Hello

 

It is time for DOUBLE PAGE REVEAL over at the Stick It Down!  YAH YAH!   Oh Yes I am excited!  I just love doubles!  When I saw this sketch of Shelby, I became delightful!  It is just a beauty!  I even got more excited when I saw the banners at the bottom!  I just love banners!  This sketch is really awesome and so easy to follow.  I am sure that you will enjoy it as much as I did!

 

I am doing some cottage photos and I know it is December right now.  I really want to do festive layout for December which would be more appropriate but I do not have the Christmas pictures as my other computer is sick and I do not have access to my last year Christmas pictures so I just went ahead and continued working on my summer pictures.  It is not normal for me to take pictures of nature such as landscapes, flowers, or animals.  But on that day I was feeling low and rather bored and I decided to do something different other than taking thousands pictures of my family.  I challenged myself to take pictures of OTHER things around the cottage.  I have to admit that it was fun and somewhat challenge.  Now with this layout I sure am glad that I did this nature photo taking challenge as now I have memories of surrounding of the cottage environment.

 I hope you will play with this wonderful sketch of Shelby!  I can guarantee you that it is very nice sketch to do!

 

Merry Christmas!

OUR STOCKINGS {ScrapMuch?}

Hello! 

 

Here I am with another layout for ScrapMuch?.  My layout is for my December Daily.  When I saw Laura Whitaker's single layout sketch, I decided to do the page for the December Daily album that I am hoping to finish this year.   It is a 6 x 6 album. As for the sketch, I have rotated it and the sketch has 3 photos recommended, but I have used two photos as I wanted to use the two girls on this page.  I have also created coordinating page for the two boys on the next page to go with this page using a different sketch..

 

The link to ScrapMuch? is ScrapMuch?  I hope you play one of the sketches for December and there is random draw for participating.  You may WIN a prize!  Scrapping is FUN as you know!  Let's participate!

Happy Holidays!

THE DEER CAME EVERYDAY

Hello!

Here I am with a single layout playing with Two Scrapbook Friends' sketch and crafty challenge.  Jayne challenged us with her awesome sketch and her crafty challenge was to use a quote.

Here is my layout,  her sketch is really fun to play with.  I enjoy adjusting the polaroid size to meet my two photo size needs.  My page is for December Daily.  It is 6 x 6.     My title, "The deer came everyday" was a quote from Trip Advisor on the internet. There also was a quote that the deer came everyday to feed".  The deer come everyday at same specific time everyday at our in law house everyday to be fed.  So I found this quote fitting for the two pictures.

Thank you Jayne for this fun challenge!  I enjoyed playing!

Keep Scrapping!

AT THE LITTLE BARN {Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop}

 

 

Welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for December. If this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.

Here is my double page layout.  I used the sketch from Scrapbook Generations Sketch Fusion with Simple Stories page 34 but with understanding I mainly used the right side page for both pages.  I moved the title to the top for the left page as I had larger pictures and I did not want to crop them off.  So I used the right page sketch for both pages.  I changed around with the embellishments as the page's needs.

You can find the SG sketches in their books and as downloads in the SG store, and there is a free one every month in case you wanted to try it out.

Next on the hop is (Casandra - http://casandra-scrappinbliss.blogspot.com/), leave a comment on each blog and one lucky commenter  receive a free sketch bundle of their choice from the store.

The winner will be drawn on Monday, December 8th which leaves you one week to leave a comment.

THE RACE {Sketch-y Friday}

Hello!

Yay!  It is REVEAL time for TEAM A over at the ScrapMuch? today!  Double page layout!! Handswaving!!!!!  I am all excited!  I just HEART double page layout sketches!

When I saw this sketch I was all excited as I "visioned" MANY pictures!  I know that you can use patterned papers for the squares!!!!  I could not because I had 23 pictures and I was able to downsize to 16 pictures.  So that was hard enough LOL!  I used 2x3 wallet size pictures and cropped some at the end off.

Laura Whitaker created this wonderful sketch.  I can see myself using it again and again in the future.  I would like to try it again but using the patterned papers and pictures as a mixture on the second page.  Thank you Laura for this awesome DOUBLE PAGE SKETCH!

Let's try this sketch out and participate over at the ScrapMuch?!  You may win a prize from a random draw for just by participating!  The deadline is November 29, 2014 at midnight.

Cheers and be sure to find time to scrap!

AT THE BEACH {Stick it Down}

Hello!!!!

 

 

Yea! It is revealing time for double page layout for Stick It Down double page team!  I have decided to do some pictures from cottage last August.  Sigh... the warm weather, for sure, have left us in Southern Ontario.  It even have started snowing.

 

When I saw Shelby's sketch, I could not wait to play with it.  Seeing that there are five photos on the sketch,  I looked through my readily organized cottage pictures.  I was able to find this set of 5 pictures.  The only problem was that they are all horizontal.  They all are wallet sized 2x3.  So that is why my layout look a bit different from the sketch even though the number of the pictures are the same.

 

I was thrilled to be able to use the bling word BEACH as title as I have had it in my stash forever.  Finally the blue shade worked well on the layout! 

 

 

Lets' have fun by playing with this awesome sketch by Shelby!  Double page layouts are FAB!!!!
