Nuts About Sketches

I Saw this sketch at Nuts About Sketches and I thought it was so cute. I had to go in search of 5 pictures that I liked and came up with this layout. I know that is it simple but I think it came out very cute and I like the colors of it.

Details:

Back ground paper is from my stash

Embellishments and font paper is Recollections jewel colors

Font is A Child's Year

Popsicles are from Doodle Charms

I white penned the font

This layout also qualifies for:

Apron Strings: Use the Nuts About Sketches Sketch
Frosted Designs: It was a photo of a flower and I went with the bright, bold colors of it

Photo inspired challenge

I kind of threw this layout together. I saw the hat picture for the Crafty Hos' Challenge Blog and I just knew I had to do this one.

These pictures are from Tanner's first birthday. for some reason my mom has always gotten a hat of some sort for the kids first birthdays. You would think after 6 grand kids she would know that they dont like hats on their first birthday.

Details:

The paper is from my stash

The font and hats are Pooh font

I used a brown glitter gel pen to out line the font cuts

Scrap it with a Song: Guns and Roses

These weeks song at Scrap it With a Song is Guns and Roses Sweet Child O' Mine. This layout is pretty simple but I think it is very fitting. I took this picture of Tobin a year or two ago. We were at a moms group play date and he just wasn't getting his own way. I took this picture to show him some day when he has kids of his own....lol.

I was able to use the layout sketch from My Little Sketch Blook and the colors from SPCC.

Details:

Background paper and journaling chipboard is Rhonna Farrer

Left side paper is Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine

Font is opposites attract

Circles are from George

I white penned the word cry. I thought about doing the circles too but I wanted to keep this layout simple and make Tobin's picture draw all attention

Circus

The Design Dollies' elements challenge this week is about the circus. I have been wanting to scrap these pictures of my son for a while and I knew this was perfect. These pictures were taken at Universal Studios Orlando in the Curious George area. It just happens to have a circus tent play area. This layout is so simple but I think it shows how much fun the kids had that day. I took 2 pictures of it. One with the flash and one with a light on it. You would think I made the same one twice in different colors.


Details:

The pattern paper is from the All About Boys stack by DCWV

The font was cut in SCAL and I closed it before I remembered to write down the name of it.

This layout also qualifies for:

Practical Scrappers: Patterned Paper
52x52: Yellow, Green, Blue
Scrap That Baby: Fun and Games- Tobin was 2 in these pictures

Scrap it with a Song: Tater Swiss....I mean Taylor Swift

I was so excited to see this weeks song at scrap it with a song. I hate that I couldn't do last weeks but Cyndi Lauper's voice is like finger nails down a chalk board to me so I just could not force myself to do it. I did think to myself.....hhhuuuummmmm....I wonder if they will ever do any Jewel or Taylor Swift.

For any one who doesn't know, Jewel has been my favorite for years. Look closely at my blog picture. It is from when my wonderful hubby took me to her concert and got backstage passes to meet her. Just in case you don't know who Jewel is, she has the blond hair, obviously the guy in the pic is my hubby, and I have the brown hair. On a side note....A few days after this picture was taken Jon proposed to me. Of course after that I wasn't going to tell him no. We ladies aren't the only ones who know how to get what they want from our significant others....hehehehehe.

Ok....back to the layout...the song this week is Love Story by Taylor Swift. When I found these pictures of my oldest son at Disney World I knew they were perfect. I went with the part of the song that says: you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. You cant get much more princess then Cinderella. The other picture is of him trying to pull the sword out of the stone in front of Cinderella's castle.

Details:

The sketch is from Crop Divas

Background paper is from The Once Upon A Time stack by DCWV. I love how is says There lived a handsome prince at the top of the page in glitter.

Chip board letters are from Brenda Pinnick designs. I had a hard time photographing this because of the fold on the letters showing the flash.

I made the flowers, some are from AWiMG and others I had made before but not used and I don't know where the cuts are from.

This layout also qualifies for:
Sisterhood of Scrap: Brown
Crop Divas: sketch

UPDATE: This layout made Top 5 at Scrap it With a Song

I used the MMSC53 sketch to create this layout. I think it worked perfectly with the Sir Stampalot challenge of butterflies and blossoms.

The blue paper Making memories watercolor collection periwinkle solid dark

All other paper is from my stash
