What I've been working on...

I completed another card and layout using Deanne's sketches for SOS Sketch Saturdays. You can see Deanne's original sketches and different takes on them
here.



These are a few other layouts that I've completed lately but wasn't able to share right away. The last two were for the DT position that I got and then the store/site was closed down a week later (still not happy about that one!) but hadn't gotten around to posting them until now.

"Capture the Memories" using Life Preservers May Alternate Kit

"Beach Bum" using Creative Scrappers Sketch #48

"Reflections" using 52 Sketches...Sketch #16 (prize sponsored by LPS)

The "To My Mom" card and "Family Ties" layout were created using sketches provided for the DT call at SMS. This is Kip, his Mom, one of his sisters and BIL with the boys. This one is my very first attempt at real machine stitching on a layout...sweet! Now if it weren't such a PITA to get the sewing machine out I might use it more...lol.


I will also be back later this week to share some exciting news for a change! Don't forget to come back and see what it is :) Later Gator!

Creative Scrappers DT Call

Kristine at Creative Scrappers is looking for 8 talented scrappers for her Design Team. Her Sketch Team does an awesome job and I love using their sketches for my layouts. I think I am going to give it a go....who's with me?

Sisterhood of Scrap Layout Sketch Reveal for June 13

I know this is a week late...busy with company, work, etc...you know the drill. The first time I saw this paper by Fancy Pants, I knew exactly what photo I was going to use! I have been wanting to scrap this picture of Eric for a while now...it is a couple of years old...and I am so happy I finally found the perfect paper and sketch! I even used some bling and Stickles...this one's for you Maggie ;) I think this will hang on the wall in my scrap area for a while. You can click on the post title to see the great sketch from Deanne!

Sisterhood of Scrap Card Sketch

I haven't really made any cards in a while so I decided to use Deanne's card sketch and get back into the groove so to speak. I am totally thrilled with my finished card. Leave a comment and let me know what you think :)

Great news and a sigh of relief!

MIL found out yesterday that the DR was able to remove ALL of her tumor and the surrounding areas (and the 2 pre-cancerous polyps) during her surgery. He told her that she is CANCER FREE and that she doesn't need any further treatment. Such great news! Her regular GP will give her more info on regular testing, etc to make sure she remains Cancer free in the future. This is such a huge weight to be lifted off our shoulders and we can re-focus on other things that need to be taken care of. We will also be able to enjoy our visit more with SIL when she gets here next week as this is one less thing to deal with for everyone.

I have a few scrapbooking assignments to complete over the next few days/weeks so that will keep me busy and my mind occupied as well. I will post some recent work in the next few days :)
