It's been a while... 8/24

Summer is officially over in just a few short days. School started back a few weeks ago. Things have been a little crazy around here lately. I finally have some time to cool off and scrapbook. It's been so hot this summer. Makes me want to scrapbook all my winter photos. LOL.

Well I have switched teams over at LGS. I am now on Team B which means I will post on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month. I will post some of my pages from the summer later in the week. Here is my layout from today along with a great sketch.

Feeding the Birds! - 6/15

It's time for another LGS Sketch!! This one kinda stumped me for a while. I couldn't wrap my mind around all the embellishments on this sketch. There was way to much going on for me. I finally just simplified it to my style.

Light my fire - 6/1

Blogger was acting up for me yesterday so this didn't get posted. 

It's a new week at LGS! I always love Bev's sketches!! They have so much to go on and use. She also does color sketches which sometimes helps get my mojo going. I turned this sketch so that I could fit 3 pics on the page.

Skylift - 4/8

Sorry for the late post ladies. It is Spring Break here and I totally lost track of days. There is a new sketch up over at LGS! We also have some new team members joining us!!! Lots of great inspiration to look at!

I pulled out my February Hip Kit and had lots of fun playing with all the pretty papers. I also used a doily!! I rarely use them even though I scrap my girls all the time. I've never been one to make really girly pages.

Snow Adorable - 3/4

I'm up at the Turtle for Wednesday Stash challenge. It's also Sketch-A-Thon month!

My challenge is to use 4 brads, 4 pattern papers, 4 die cuts, and some glitter paper.

I have been trying to use the leftover piece from last year's kits.

The Sketch:

This is definitely one of my fav pattern papers I've found!!!

The title was cut using this a silhouette file.

Snowflake brads and die cut. 

I couldn't find a good silhouette file so I found a google image to trace.

My glitter paper was chevron so I cut strips out for accent pieces
