Inspired Blueprints Sketch 30

Yeah ... I got a little bit of scrappy time tonight, and finished my last Halloween layout from 2008. For this page I continued using the TSD kit - and have a lot left over for some 2009 pages.

I used Sketch 30 from Inspired Blueprints as the basis for my page.

TSD Spooktacular Kit

I had a wonderful time making this Happy Halloween layout using the Spooktacular Kit (October 2008) from Two Spotted Dogs. My layouts come out much better, and faster, when I use a kit. Unfortunately the site is no longer selling kits; but the fantastic message board is staying around ~ and having several challenges per month.

Granny's birthday card

Since tomorrow is my mom's birthday, I'm spending this evening making a few cards. Here is the one that Bruce will give her. I used Sketch 23 from Unscripted Sketches , and also did the card for Amy's September Card Challenge at Two Spotted Dogs and Kim's Color Challenge at My Sketch World.

Finally Blogging Again

I cannot believe that it has been so long that I've updated my blog ... the summer was super busy, even with no homework at night.

At Two Spotted Dogs we've started posting several challenges each month. My challenge is to use a number in the title of a layout. Why don't you come over and join us if you're not already a member of TSD.

Here's my sample:

Unscripted Sketches 12

One of the best things about Saturdays is getting the latest sketch from Unscripted Sketches via e-mail. I made this card using the Sketch 12 released today. This card is also for one of the challenges for the current crop over at My Sketch World (to use naked chipboard).

Winner of Disney Album comments

I truly appreciate so many of you visiting here and leaving comments about my Walt Disney World Album. I did the random drawing the other day, posted the info on the scrap sites that I visit, but forgot to post here :( So sorry!

The winner is KimberlyM, a friend from Two Spotted Dogs. I hope to get her RAK in the mail over the weekend.

Thanks again everyone. I'm very excited that a few of you signed up as followers. I am going to try and do a much better job of posting here and visiting your blogs.

The Disney album is COMPLETE!!!

I am very excited that over the weekend I finished up the album from our recent Walt Disney World trip. I think that completing a 60 page album 3 1/2 months after the trip is pretty good.

I'm going to have a RAK drawn from everyone who leaves a comment below. If you are a follower of my blog you will get an additional chance for the RAK. So, if you're not a follower this is a great time to sign up. I'll do a random draw from the comments left by Sunday June 21st.

Many of my scrappy and non-scrappy friends & family encouraged me while working on this album. To all of you ... a really big hug and thanks.

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
