Piles of Smiles - 11/25

We love going to the pumpkin patch every year! It's one of my favorite things to do in the fall. Girls enjoy picking out pumpkins. The fun part is finding the perfect one to carve into our jack-o-lantern. They come in all sorts of size and shapes. We usually try to find a pretty good round one, but that sometimes isn't always the case. We ended up going late this year so there wasn't many to choose from, but we managed to find the perfect one.

 I love playing along with other sites when I get free time. I love most of the sketches over at Nuts about Sketches. I try to use them in my free time so they don't always make it to my blog. This one in particular caught my eye. I know I will definitely use it again. I also love how she puts things in perspective by telling you what size things are.

Pumpkin Patch - 11/18

It's Monday! Another sketch is up over at LGS! I don't know about this one, but the team did an awesome job with it! I wasn't able to get mine up on the blog in time, but I was able to play along. I was sick all last week so no scrapping got done. I am feeling a little better today and was able to play along.

The girls love going to the pumpkin patch every year for Halloween. They have so much fun looking at all the funky shaped pumpkins. Lilybug loves finding the smallest pumpkin in the patch. I decided to use some of my old Halloween kits for this. I did add a few new embellies.

Angeline Canvas - 11/9

So a few days ago I posted a page I did for LGS. I loved the page so much that I decided to turn it into an art canvas to hang in her room.

I took a black 12x12 art canvas and started creating a similar background to what I had before. I took my 12x12 Heidi Swapp hexagon mask and began tracing with my silver pen.

I then took some pink metallic paper and punched it with my Creative Memories hexagon punch. The 1 1/4" fit almost perfectly into the hexagons I drew. 

Here is my finished product:

Stop by the Turtle and play along with my challenge! you have all month long!

Angelina Ballerina - 11/4

It's the first Monday of the month!!! This means an all new sketch and new challenge month! You have the whole month to play along at Let's Get Sketchy!

This sketch was a little tricky for me and not one of my favs. I have a very hard time dealing with small pics on a page. I also don't handle "white" space very well either. I honestly starred at this sketch for several week trying to figure out what to do with it. Well after rearranging my entire scrap room, I finally got the mojo and inspiration to take on this challenge. Honestly, I started with the sketch and just let the juices flow from there.
