February 21st Page Sketch

cutie pie wall hanging

This was inspired by a challenge at Scrap-Friendzy. I used the chipboard backing from some Jenni Bowlin buttons,and some October Afternoon and MME papers, with some misc. embellishments. Just a few photos of Gracie looking adorable!

This page is based on an inspiration challenge at Scrap-Friendzy, and it also incorporates some of the design lessons from Debbie Hodge's "Building Pages" class. The pictures show what happens when your older cousins are playing with stickers and you end up with Dora stickers all over you, LOL!

Sassy Lil Sketches - February card sketch

The first card sketch has been posted over at Sassy Lil Sketches. Here's the sketch:


And here are my cards based on the sketch. I used my Cricut for the flower, star, and "you rock" sentiment, and used the iTop brad maker for the flower center. (I love that tool!)



Hope you'll check out the Sassy Lil Sketches site!

Project 12 - January 2010

Scrapbook & Cards Today has come up with a project to capture the year in photos/scrapbook pages, one month at a time. It's called Project 12, and the idea is to create a two-page layout each month to show what happened during the month. Granted, some months might be a bit humdrum, but don't we still want to capture those everyday moments? And to make it easier, Becky Fleck is providing a page sketch each month for inspiration.

Here's my page spread for January. No special events this month, just photos of everyday moments with family and friends. Those times are too often overlooked.

Building Pages class

We just finished week one of Debbie Hodges' online class "Building Pages". The lessons this week had to do with blocked designs, utilizing the golden rectangle theory, and using white space on your pages. It's really interesting to see how these graphic design concepts work in scrapbooking.

Here are the pages I've done for the class this week:

New ScrapSketch posted this week!

Stephanie posted three new sketches over at Scrapsketch.com. I chose to work with sketch #5, which worked perfectly for these photos of Gracie when she was a little over two weeks old. If she follows in her parents' footsteps and goes to UC, she should be a member of the Class of 2030 (or thereabouts, anyway). Wonder what tuition will be by then?
