Got Sketch 107 Sketch #6

Sketch #6 from Valerie Salmon's Got Sketch 107 class is what I call a quick and easy sketch. It is like the Little Black Dress every woman has in her closet. It look stunning on its own but is dynamite with a few accessories! LOL

Scrapbooking Pressure???

Have you ever felt pressure or anxiety when scrapping? Are there certain photos and/or events that you are apprehensive about scrapping or have not scrapped? If so, you are not alone! Me too!

15 years later and I still haven't scrapped my wedding! Why? I am worried about doing justice to my wedding photos and memories. Birthday photos...a similar feeling but not so paralyzing! Recently, after 12 years of birthday photos, I realized I needed to get over my fear and start scrapping!

So....guess what? Yup, I have some birthday layouts to share...yeah, me!!! To start off the birthday layout parade, I have a double pager of Danielle's 5 year birthday party which showcases the yummy BoBunny collection. It was my interpretation of Valerie Salmon's Sketch #122...which can be found here.

Supplies:  Bazzill (cardstock); BoBunny (pattern paper, alphas, die cut), WRMK (chomper)

 And Madison's 11th sleepover birthday party using the luscious Pink Paislee collection...

Supplies:  Pink Paislee (pattern paper, die cuts, chipboard accents); Prima (alphas); WRMK (chomper)

Meet Miss Personality

I take a whole lot of photos and I print a whole lot of photos. It would probably not come as a surprise to you to learn that I sometimes forget what photos I have available to scrap! LOL Imagine how happy I was to find these photos to scrap one day!

My youngest daughter is a fun loving child who is happy 99% of the time. She is a very emotive little girl and quite frankly I love that about her! It is only fitting that I create a layout about her sweet ebullient personality!

Supplies:  Collage Press (pattern papers); Pink Paislee (butterfly); Sizzix (flower die); Imaginesce (petal roller); Prima (pearls); Studio Calico (Mr. Huey mists); Tattered Angels (glimmer mist, chalkboard mist); Prima (alphas); EK Success (circle punch); WRMK (chomper); Hemptique (hemp)

And a few up close and personal shots of the layout...

Here is a look at the hemp I used from a company called Hemptique. If you haven't tried them out, go try their products; they are fabulous!

Some Hemptique for you...to drool over!
