Stuck?! Sketches December 1st Sketch

 

I had loads of fun with this sketch, and knew I had to use this quirky photo of my son gingerly holding a bunny at the Apple Festival!  I pulled out lots of OLD supplies from my stash, including the printed mini tags, and that blue vellum tag, which is likely 10 years old!  Whew!  I made my "picture frame," from the negative spaces of a square punch, and used several buttons from my excessive collection.  Enjoy!

I created this layout exclusively for Sketchabilities #104,

and here is the original sketch with a link!

Although this sketch features 1 photo, my file folders open to reveal 4 more photos! 

This sketch challenged me to step out of my comfort zone by bringing out the spray ink and acrylic paint!  I really like how it turned out, and am looking for to the next sketch!

Giddy UP: A Layout for Let's Get Sketchy

Giddy Up!

 

I created this layout just for this sketch challenge!

Here is the original sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

Let's Get Sketchy, December Week 1

I am 3 years behind in chronologically scrapbooking my youngest son's life, and this layout is proof!  These photos were taken in the fall of 2010, and I am just now working with them!  I also take TOO MANY photos, and even though I only scrap the best ones, there are still so many! I had fun with this sketch, and was able to incorporate several scraps of my favorite papers, crepe paper handmade rosettes and everything was from my stash!  Enjoy!

 

 

Advent Calendar!

Merry Christmas! 

Today is the first day of our very first family Advent celebration, and I kicked it off with this Advent countdown calendar box!  (Check out the Christmas them challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles!)

 I covered this Karen Foster Peek-A-Box with a Christmas paper collection by Making Memories, Sizzix Big Shot and sizzlits dies, American Crafts thickers, Close To My Heart distressing ink, various buttons, Glue Dots, gingham ribbon, bling and punches!

 

 Details!  The kits included numeral stickers, so I accented with black distress ink.

 

 I popped out the red in the paper with glittered hearts, to symbolize the love of God for us.

I chose "joy" for my cover to emphasize the Bible verse in Luke 2:10-11,

 ^"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
