Layout to Share

Just thought I would share a recently completed layout.

This is Gabe after riding the Tower of Terror at MGM in Disney World.

He was very hesitant to ride it, but once he did, he was so proud!

Matters of the Heart

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope you are enjoying those that you love the most!

I especially had a day dedicated to the heart...I had a checkup appt. with my cardiologist today.

He doesn't need to see me again for a whole year!!!

Normally, I am on 6 month checkups, but he thinks I am doing so good that he has put me on the yearly schedule.  My heart is extra happy (and healthy) today!

*****

In honor of Valentine's Day, I am going to share a layout with me and my sweetie on it!

Trisha from Sketch Inspiration was so gracious, and asked me to complete a layout to showcase using one of her amazing sketches!

Wow, that girl has talent!

Sketch Inspiration posts new sketches every Sunday, and if you play along, you could win the prize of the week!

You must check it out!

Just wanted to share a fave layout of mine! 

Seriously, that boy's smile brightens my day, everyday!

Layouts to share

I have been able to steal some time to get my scrap on.

I have really enjoyed getting some time to work on layouts.

I completed this layout for the Sketchy Thursdays challenge. 

Love using a new sketch to create a layout.

 Sorry this one is not completely centered. 

More sketchy goodness!

You know that feeling of coming across something that inspires you and makes you want to get up and use that inspiration?  Well, that is exactly what Stacey's sketches do for me! 

Here is another one of her amazing skethches, and my layout interpretation is below.

Here is my take on her sketch.  Love it, and I had a great time creating with it!

A Sketch and a Layout

I am lucky enough to call the talented Stacey over at Stacey Scraps and Cooks a great friend!

She designs some of the best sketches as well as layouts. 

She's also crafty in the kitchen and with sewing projects.

I suggest you check out her blog and be inspired or at least gain a new recipe or two!

I was honored to be asked to create a layout using the sketch below!

You should give it a try.

My take on the sketch.

It's pretty simple, so I may add a little more, but the inspiration from the sketch was a great starting point for me.

Make sure to post your layout either here or on Stacey's blog if you use the sketch. 

LOAD Challenge

Looking at my title for this post, I think it could come off as a laundry challenge. Well, eventhough I could use a good laundry challenge to get caught up and stay that way, that is not what "LOAD" means. It stands for "Layout a Day" challenge, and this is my first time participating in such a challenge. I have signed up for Lain Ehmann's LOAD challenge for October, and I know I am crazy to think that I can get 31 layouts completed in 31 days!! I am going to try! There is also a great Flickr group that you get to post your layouts to as well as a discussion board. I am just ready to be inspired and get back to scrapping on a regular basis. I have missed it. Below you can find my first layout.

This is Graedon at Cocoa Beach this past June. I walked down to the beach and found him in my niece's ball cap just playing in the water. He didn't have a care in the world.

A couple of layouts

I thought I would share some layouts that I had completed from the Feeling Scrappy Sketchapalooza 3 class that I took in March. If you haven't checked out their classes yet, then I suggest you head on over and do so!
