Snow Day

Trying to use up the March Counterfeit Kit! 

I used this page maps sketch that is the March Sketch Challenge at Paper Secrets. 















I gave the sketch a turn and used a slightly larger photo for the top one. I love how it turned out!

 

Thanks for stopping by! 

And remember it's only a week until I announce the winner of my March Kit Giveaway! You still have time to get more chances. :)

Pony Girl

My layout this week at For the Love of Sketches is a very old pic of me & the pony I had as child, Pearly May.

 

I used a mirror image of the sketch to create this.

Once again, I used my March Counterfeit Kit, Tweet Spring. I started working on this a couple of weeks ago and had cut the circle out of the lace cardstock. I later used the remaining piece of the lace cardstock on my school girl layout so there was only a tiny bit of waste!

nap time

The patterned papers were from my main Counterfeit Kit. And I got to use some of my oldest products on this one. Those are turquoise Making Memories snaps in the felt. I bought them (and eyelets) in just about every color at least 5 or 6 years ago!

Tater Peeling

Why yes! I did use my March Counterfeit Kit for this layout.  :)

Megan loves mashed potatoes and doesn't like stuffing. So, now she gets to peel the taters for holiday meals.

For holiday meals I always make potato filling (I cheat & use instant in these as you can't tell because of the other ingredients) and either cornbread & sausage stuffing or oyster stuffing. Megan doesn't like any of those and just wants real mashed potatoes. Thanksgiving 2009 she was finally old enough to start helping. Peeling the potatoes is her job now!

A close-up of the crinkled dictionary paper flowers I made.

If you haven't made these before they are very easy. Just cut some varying sized circles from thin paper. Wet them well with Glimmer Mist. Crinkle them up while they are wet and when they dry, stack and glue the circles. You can use anything for a center!

Zeke & Meg - For the Love of Sketches (#3)

Donna's posted the newest sketch on her blog ~ check it out!

Here's my layout. I used my 'Sunshine Flowers' Counterfeit Kit for this one. I'm not a big user of yellow but I love that checked paper! The pictures are of my daughter Megan with our dachshund boy Zeke shortly before he died. Poor girl saw the layout and it made her cry.  :(

I love the clean design - just a few extra cuts and inking - but it really lets the photos stand out!
