My take on Creative Scrappers sketch #95

This is a page kit I found at a garage sale for a quarter. It has tons of papers, stickers, cardstock pieces, journal boxes and more. There is easily enough stuff in there to make 10 layouts and at least as many cards. I have no idea where it came from originally, but another man's trash is MY SCRAPPIN' TREASURE!!! LOL

The sketch I followed is Creative Scrapper's sketch #95. Head over and try your take on this great sketch...I'd love to see it :) You can click the sketch below to go directly to the post with the sketch or the link above to go to the blog's homepage.

A new layout...and inspiration from PageMaps

Here is a layout I created of one of my favorite pictures I've taken recently. My newest baby cousin came to the baby shower with his mama and I captured this shot of my two kids loving on him. It was great 'practice' for the new baby that was coming any day. The sketch I followed came from PageMaps. I flipped the sketch to accomidate this adorable photo matte that I have been dying to use. It came from a swap and was made by my friend Jenn.

Young at Heart

I have been in the mood to scrapbook lately, but I've yet to master the art of keeping the baby occupied (happily) while I toil away at my scrap table. It's a bit easier with the laptop because I can just pull myself up to wherever she's playing and accomplish some digi scrapping. So far she lasts one whole layout before we take a play break! I followed a sketch from one of my very favorite sketchers, Julie Bonner. She has amazing sketches and even more amazing work so check her out here.

A few weeks ago we took the baby to the nursing home to visit her Great-Grandpa again. It was hard for me to visit there at first, because it was just a reminder that my Grandma wasn't here anymore. Seeing how happy the kids make him eased that pain right away :)
