1 Hour Sketch Contest Complete

Tonight was so much fun!! Creative-Scrappers hosted a 1-hour Sketch contest!! It's an incredibly busy hour, they post a sketch and you have one hour to complete a layout. The only information given ahead of time is the size photo you need. Kristine Davidson created the sketch, which was awesome and this is my end result. I used Basic Grey's 'Mellow' line for this-another fun purchase from my trip out to Idaho this summer--I thought it went well with the Mountain theme, since this is Hailey while we were in the Smokey Mountain National Park over the 4th of July.

Sneak Peak for August GDT at Paper Popsicles

Basic Grey TOOT!!

WOOHPEEE!!! I am so excited, today, I just decided to poke around on the BG website and went to their awesome gallery, and remembered that I had purchased some of their Sugared line of paper with the most adorable chipboard. I hadn't used it yet, created this LO, decided to submit and BAM it's on their idea gallery!!! I'm thrilled!! There are so many great designer's projects on there!!The journaling reads "yummy, messy, melting, dripping, sticky and still so cute"

Layout of the Day

I was so excited to log on to Creative Scrappers and find out that this LO was chosen for layout of the day!! I had been busy cleaning, mopping, sweeping, etc-sat down to log onto the computer and woohoo!! This was created using a sketch by Cherie Averill.

For this LO I used Sassafras Lass 'Sunshine Lollipops' line-which is one of my new favs!!TFL

4th of July

Wow, are you all excited for the 4th of July? I am, I love this holiday. There is something so moving about seeing a huge, billowing flag flying-it can bring tears to my eyes. I am proud to be an American, I enjoy every part of the 4th of July, whether it be going to a family BBQ or celebrating at a festival and watching fireworks!! WOW!! Here's LO I just created, the picture if of my youngest daughter at a 4th of July celebration in Ocean City, MD. She was 7 months old and just enjoying all the sites. Happy 4th of July everyone!!
