Sketchy Challenge

I am back. I have rejoined the Two Scrapbook Friends Design team and I am hopeful this will encourage my mojo to return.  First up I have the Sketchy Challenge which is definitely one of my favourite kind of challenges. It's always fun to see how people interpret the sketch.So, without further adieu, here is my first sketch of 2013....

You may recognize someone else from the design team in these pics! These were taken when Amanda and Carolyn made a surprise visit to our cottage this past summer. The little tag in the kraft envelope tells how Holden was having a hard time sharing his chips with Amanda. 

There is a lot going on in this layout; misting, stitching, washi tape, buttons, wood embellies and one of the cool title cards from Fancy Pants. I also used one of my favourites lately for backgrounds; woodgrain paper.

I hope you will take the time to play along and be sure to post your finished results in the TSF Gallery and then link it to our forum challenge section here.

Wishing everyone a Happy, Scrappy New Year!

Welcome to the Autumn Colours Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends!  You should have arrived here from Jayne's blog.

For my project I HAD to use my new Silhouette and I created this standing card.

 

There is a card that comes out of the middle. The message is written on the backside so as not to interfere with the cut out on the front.

I added a quote and some small embellishments but left room to write a personal message.

And this is why I haven't been scrapbooking....

At the beginning of June my Mother-in-law asked if I would create a scrapbook for her church's priest who was leaving after 6 years. I said yes even though I KNEW it would be a big job AND that it had to be done by June 26th. I did manage to accomplish this project with a few hours to spare but this is what my room looks like now:

I think my desk is somewhere under there??? SO I might be on a bit of a hiatus til this disaster gets organized.  Is it me or does Holden look like he just might be swallowed up by a tidal wave of scrap supplies???? RUN!!!!

Anyhow I do hope you are finding some scrappy time over the summer and that you are enjoying the heat wave that makes me want the a/c fixer guy to show up NOW!!
