UPDATE:

Since sharing this DT opportunity I have completed my entry to the DT call.  We had to use the following sketch:

 I used a mix of Simple Stories and Echo Park papers.

  I was also working on a craft project using burlap, so I added a piece of scrap to add texture to the page.  And yes, I even used the twine/thread from the burlap to wrap around the photo. You know me I don't like to waste a thing!

I enjoy using sketches.  They give you a great jumping off point for you pages. 

 If you like working with sketches, word inspirations and other creative challenges, stop by 
Colorful Creations new blog.  They will have challenges on the 1st and 15th of every month.  The challenges will run for the entire month with a random winner selected at the end of each month.  In order to qualify for the prize you will have to participate in at BOTH of the challenges.

So come and join in the fun!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Let's Scrap

Here is another great sketch from the Let's Scrap site.  I am working through my road trip pictures.  Here we are in Rocky Mountain National Park.  This was such a fun day spent with our son.  We hiked many trails and saw awsome wildlife.  I usually don't want to go back to places I have visited,  (There are just too many more to see!)  but I want to go back and spend a few more days here exploring!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed weekend!

More Fun @ The ZOO

I had enough pictures to do another zoo layout.  I use the Summer Fresh papers again, I just love them. 

I used a single sketch from Let's Scrap.  Then I used the papers from my Simple Memories pack to finish the page off quickly. 

Happy Friday EVERYONE!

Have a blessed day.

Weekly Sketch

Here is another great sketch from the Let's Scrap crew!  This week I learned how to make the ever so popular chevron.  I had chevrons that were printed onto paper, but I decide to go old school and hand make them.  Here is a LINK to the directions I used.

On our road trip last year Matthew and I hit a couple of unusual places. This little gem is in Kansas. It is called Mushroom Rock State Park. You can read about it HERE. It was a fascinating place in the middle nowhere USA. We had to pass cows just walking down the road.  He was giving us the eyeball and saying, "What the heck are you guys doing in my field?"

We spent about a half hour exploring the

 rock formations in the "park". 

Here is a close up of the chevrons.  My advice for making them would to be to use thin paper.  Mine was double sided and thick!  So it was hard to get them to lay flat on the page.  I had to use a bunch of adhesive to get them to lay flat and I added the little border on the edge to make them look smoother.
