The Lorax

This week at Child's Play Challenges , the challenge is a storybook challenge. The inspiration book is:

I actually have not read this book OR seen the movie! I know! I do intend on watching the movie one day. It looks like it is another very cute Dr. Seuss movie. I loved his books as a child, and I love reading them to my children now!

Here is my take on this challenge:

I used the colors from the cover for this page! Isn't Kylee adorable with that angry birds hat?

NSD Sketch Challenge

I took on the NSD sketch challenge at The Paper Bakery! It was a pretty cool sketch!

I had the perfect 3 pictures for his sketch! I had to dig deep into my huge pile of pictures that NEED to be scrapped to find them. They are pictures of Kylee's very first Halloween! 2010! YIKES!

She was so stinkin adorable in that elephant costume. I don't think she enjoyed nearly as much as I did! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Morning...2011

I found an awesome sketch at My Scraps and More Sketches blog. Sketch #25.

It is so different than my usual style, so I had to participate!

Now, I know these are not the traditional colors for Christmas, but I love these pics! This is Kylee's 2nd Christmas and the 1st Christmas that she actually cared enough to rip open gifts! It is hard to tell in the pic because of lighting and what-not but the background paper actually matches the color of her jammies in the pic. It is hard to snap a pic in the perfect lighting, etc. Hop over to My Scraps & More Sketches and play!

Paint by Numbers

This week at Child's Play Challenges  is a craft challenge!

The inspiration is:

I decided to dig up some really old pictures and my children look like babies! *insert tears here*

Can't believe this was almost a year and half ago! Life is zooming by!

I love sketches, and I love blogs that are full of sketch challenges! My Scraps and More Sketches is a fun blog that has challenges to win fun prizes!


Here is the sketch:

and here is my layout:

I just love scrapping old pictures of my kids. It takes me back to the days when they were this little, and Kylee barely had hair!

The Paper Bakery Sketch Challenge

A month or so ago, I discovered this amazing kit club called The Paper Bakery and instantly subscribed to their scrapbook kits. They are WORTH IT! Anyway, they started a sketch challenge on their blog and I believe this is the first one! My absolute fave sketch designer designed the first sketch, so I of course jumped right on board!

Here is the sketch by the lovely Juliana Michaels..

And here is my layout that follows this sketch quite closely.

The picture of the layout is a bit crooked because I have not figured out how to take an awesome pic of my page! That is a job in itself!
