Laura's Sketch 5

Here's a card made using Laura's newest sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. I used some old Basic Grey rub-ons and the heart is embossed Colorbok chipboard. Head on over to the site and complete your version of the sketch for a chance to win a prize from Sakura of America.

Weekly Sketch #5

This week was the last week of Scrappy Jo's July Celebration and so of course I got to work on the Week #5 sketch. It might be too late to enter your sketch for points but of course you can still show us what you've created at the forum. I made a real simple LO using a few left over pictures from a mini album about last year's vacation to Lake George.

Caardvarks Sketches

My sister just graduated from college so I created this card for her using Kazan's sketch now featured at Caardvarks. I love Kazan and Laura's sketches from 2 Sketches 4 You and I'm excited to see two more exclusive sketches at Caardvarks. I used my Sassafrass Lass Oliver and Friends stamps once again and used pastel pencil to add color and definition. My sister loves glitter and beachy colors so I hope she likes it. I might try Laura's lovely sketch later this week for a birthday card.

Cat's Meow

I missed scrapping these past two weeks and so when I got back I immediately started on Scrappy Jo's Weekly Sketch #4. It's a great sketch and so many others did a fabulous job with it. Check out their takes on the sketch here. I used Basic Grey Romani and Euphoria and my brand new Chatterbox chipboard. I visited a great little LSS while in Florida where I was able to get the Euphoria paper pad and chipboard. In other very exciting news I was chosen to be one of Scrappy Jo's DT members! I'm very excited and will be designing cards and card sketches for them in Nov-Jan. Until then I will be writing product reviews and sharing tips on the forum so come join in here. Also come visit the store and enjoy 15% off your first order of $10 or more with the code JMREF. Last but not least I'd like to thank my awesome boyfriend for helping me set up all the new blinkies you see on the side of my blog and creating a blinkie for my blog to use in my signature at forums.

Back from Florida

Very early Sunday morning we got back from Florida after driving since 6 am on Saturday. We really enjoyed our two weeks and stayed in a lovely house. We got one of those five park passes and enjoyed SeaWorld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. SeaWorld was my favorite mostly because they have some amazing animal shows but their rollercoaster, Kraken, is awesome as well. Thrill rides and wildlife exhibits were definitely the main attractions on our vacation. Some trip highlights would be feeding dolphins at Seaworld, riding Dueling Dragons at Islands of Adventure. watching my grams star in the ride Disaster at Universal Studios (they use volunteers to make a movie clip every ride, very unique) and watching Shamu Rocks, a show, at SeaWorld. A great family vacation with something for everyone.

Greetings from Florida

I'm now in Florida so no scrapping or blogging for the next week or so but make sure to check out all the updates about the July celebration at Scrappy Jos including the announcement of new DT members.

My Sketch World July Sketch

I found this sketch at My Sketch World and knew it was perfect for some photos I had. I was happy to find an excuse to use my Sassafrass Owl stamps once again and use up some old DCWV paper. I used some more hand-stitching to incorporate the circle into my LO.
