Smile

Here is another page I made today using a sketch from Pencil Lines. They have posted several great sketches (some new ones) for this weekend crop. I wish I had more time to work on them.

Happy Halloween

I am posting this layout I just finished. This was created based on a sketch from Pencil Lines.

Bootiful

Pencil Lines is celebrating their 3rd anniversary by having a weekend crop. I just finished this page using sketch #49.

2 more LOs

I finished 2 more today. The first one is based on Pencil Lines #100. All circles. I was going to scrap this Christmas photo this weekend and when I saw this sketch, the ornaments came to my mind. I made those paper flowers again topped with flower stickers. I was actually going to use 8x10 photo which would have been too big. Amazingly I had this smaller photo. This may be the only package that included this size photo and I had just one left :) The second layout is my very first 6 x 12 layout based on Becky's sketch on Page Maps. It was a lot easier than I thought. My pages are all 12 x 12 and I never realized how easy it is when the space is smaller especially when you have a sketch to work with. I will mount it on 12 x 12 cardstock when putting it in the album.

CutiePie

It's already August. Time flies way too fast. Schools here start this week. My daughter's school will start Friday. Today's layout is based on Pencil Lines sketch #95. I am so behind with their sketches. There are a couple of sketches I like and I am hoping to try some time.

Love You, Simply Beautiful

The first layout is based on Pencil Lines #89. I was looking at what's left on 2 sheets of felt alphabets and tried to come up with a short word for title. I ended up with "love you" using a heart shaped chipboad for "love" and a felt letter "u" for "you." I also tried to use scraps. And sticky stiches were used here. I will make an effort to use it where possible to finish it up. The sticky part on the back is not so sticky anymore. 2nd layout was done based on Page Maps Sep 2007 sketch. I think my sister got this photo enlarged for me.

First Step

I hand cut the ring and stapled ribbons. The toy key ring that she was holding in the photos inspired me. I had to apply some ink with Q tip over the letters "first" since they were not dark enough. Based on Pencil Lines #86.

Sweetheart

The next pictures from my old album are giving me a hard time. I just can't pick papers. I cut out this vine/swirls design off of a paper. But I can't get them to match with pics or any papers. So I put them aside and worked with different pics. This is for Pencil Lines sketch #83. I made it small. At the beginning, I was not going to use the pink card stock. But after drawing a frame along the edge of the green card stock, I decided I needed another color. So I cut and distressed, and inked the green card stock and paste it onto a pink one. I thougt I would draw a frame ( just line(s)) but didn't. Now looking at it on the screen, LO looks a little too simple. Happy Mother's Day tomorrow to all the mothers out there!!

Winner !!!!

I am sooooo excited. I was selected as a winner of Hybrid challenge on Method Playground. Of all the challenges I have participated so far, I think this would be the least likely for me to win. I had never try anything digital before. I guess, I will explore my Scrapbook Designer CD Rom some time. I am almost done with the current Out of Border challenge. I was definitely going to pass this time, but now that they selected me as a winner, I would challenge :)

Ok, here is my first LO tonight. Pencil Lines #82.

My Little Clown

We are approaching summer, but my scrapping world is going into holiday season. These are her first Halloween pics. I was going to distress the edge of the circle, but forgot to do so. After I put everything together, I decided to put some ink on it using a Q-tip. Used stickers for title. Instead of my little... , I wanted it to be cute little... but I didn't have small "e" and didn't want to mix stickers.

Observer

I am very happy with outcome of the LO tonight. By that time she would roll and roll to anywhere she wanted and sometimes she would stop and look at things to study. Things that appeared nothing special appealed to her. (Pencil Lines #80)
Today, there is a new sketch blog called Page Plans was launched. I'm sure I will be visiting the blog regularly...

That tickles

Here is LO I did this afternoon. This is based on #79 sketch from Pencil Lines. It may not look like it, but I at least arranged the flowers the same way where squares are on the sketch. On this photo, she is not tickling herself. I don't even think she realized she was holding her foot like that. The stickers and die-cut letters were used for the title. After putting the letters on, the baby blue of die-cut letters looked a little too light, so I applied some ink using a Q tip. This week will be busy. I am going to attempt to scrap 4 LOs using sketches. I have a rough idea for one of Lesli's sketches already. Have a nice week everyone!

Teether

I just can't take better pictures of this layout. This has to do.

Pencil Lines #78.

Luv U, Rolling

The first LO "Luv U" is based on Pencil Lines #77. I have a few more LOs to post tomorrow.

Adorable

Hollywood Baby

I spent more time scrapping this layout than I normally do. That's because of the beads I threaded. It was a sunny day and she was wearing shades. I got this title from that. I don't have a circle cutter, so I wouldn't be able to make a perfect circle. I hand-cut the circle and distressed all around it. (PL #75, MP)

Princess

Today was my daughter's birthday and we went out to eat. I knew I wouldn't have much time tonight, so I had started this layout last night and finished tonight. (based on Pencil Lines #4)

Angel Face

I had to charge the battery before uploading the pictures tonight. Since we are losing an hour, I didn't stay up this late, but here I am.

I did just one layout today. I used 2 snap shots from a drive to Big Bear. (Pencil Lines #74)

I also added some buttons to the flowers below.

Swing

I did another layout using the same photo (Justa Swinging). I used to order double prints and give one to my parents or my husband's parents. Looks like I kept both copies. (PL #73)

Little Megan & Are Your Comfy?

I completed sketch #70 and #71 of Pencil Lines today. "Little Megan" has photos of her from 1 month old to 3 years old.
In this 2nd layout, she has both her arms behind her back. In the picture in the crib, she managed to hold her blanket between her arms. I have more pictures of her sleeping with her arms like that. They will come up sometime. But to do sketch #71, I skipped some pictures so I am going back to where I was before.
