Happiness - ScrapFriends Guest Designer

Morning Blog Friends!! Today I'm so excited! I was asked to be a guest designer at ScrapFriends. I was sent this really fun sketch to work with and I couldn't decide if I should do grungy or pretty after I saw the doily, lol. I decided on grungy because I had these Prima papers sitting on my desk that I was dying to dig into. I love the challenge of the sketches on their blog.. so many layers and elements to play with. I hope some of you will stop by and play along. Now I'm off to see what their fabulous design team did with the sketch! Have an awesome day!

Here are a couple of close ups!

Together

Hi Everyone! Well this weekend I had a little time to just play in my studio. I found this sketch at ScrapFriends and I really love a sketch that challenges me. I love getting out the inks and stamps...and yes a few pieces of Washi Tape. It was fun to grunge things up abit. These photos were from our recent trip to Victoria. We were walking along the bay and I said to hubby.. "do like the kids do and take our picture" lol.. I thought it was pretty cute. I really had fun with this one and challenged myself to stick as close to the sketch as I could. I'm playing around with different styles and techniques lately, it's another journey of self discovery.....

I'm So Lucky To Have You In My Life

Good Morning, Good Morning...(my attempt at singing) lol. Today at Practical Scrappers we are featuring Birthday Layouts! The design team is just so talented. They are all unique and such a beautiful group of women. I also took inspiration from the amazing sketches at Scrapfriends. For my layout I did a few photos of my sister and myself on our birthday. We have birthdays three days apart, but we always say we are twins, lol. We are the best of friends. My sister and I call each other every morning to talk about what's new on the blog feed, what we are scrapping, and what's new since last night's coffee!! We live really close together so we get to see alot of each other. Our kids are more like siblings than cousins and we are always celebrating something, lol. So Sis...this one's for you! Love ya, miss ya, so CALL ME!!!
