Sketch Challenge!

It's time for another sketch challenge over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles! (my last one, sniff sniff) The sketch we're using is very versatile and perfect for that special single photo. The scrap twist is to use mixed alphas in your title.

 

I had a lot of fun with this one and had just the right photo to use. (I even swiped it out of a frame!) I also used only stuff from my stash because I'm really really trying to use what I have on hand already. Crazy I know…  So here is my little cutie pie Jon when he was only 12 months old and still had his wild and crazy hair. He was also a champion raspberry blower. They get big so fast!

We would love to see what you come up with using the sketch. If you link your layout up to the sketch post by Sept. 30th then you will be entered into the drawing for the Sept. prize. So head on over there and check it out! =)

Scrapping Everyday Miracles Challenge #19!

It's a new month so that means a new challenge over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles! This month it is very timely because we are focusing on vacations. God can really bless us through our time off with relaxation and bonding with loved ones. We would love to see layouts about your favorite vacations! For my example, I scrapped about a family vacation we just took to southern California. My parents went also and we hooked up with my brother and his family too. We had a blast visiting more relatives and seeing Legoland and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. It was so wonderful to spend time with our family. We had a lot of fun to boot!

I used a lot of ephemera on here. The park maps were conveniently sized at 12 in x 18 in so it was perfect to use one as a background. The entrance tickets found their way in as well as some flattened pennies. They have these penny machines all over the park. Put in two quarters and a penny, turn the crank, and you get a nice little souvenier. We had fun getting the different designs.

Be sure to head on over to the SEM blog and check out the details of this challenge. Link up your project there and you'll be in the running for our monthly prize drawing. Tah - tah for now!
