Simple Scrapbook Sketches

What I've been up to

2009-07-04T12:20:00.011-04:00

Not sketching LOL! I've actually been scrapping a bit, here are some recent ones:

This LO was an entry for ACOT 52 Challenges - week 2. For some reason I can't get the hyperlink to show up, but here is the link: http://www.acherryontop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=212483

Here is another ACOT Challenge - July's Trends & Techniques Use Kraft paper in a LO:

This one is an entry for Scrapsketch's Friday challenge:

Here is the Sketch:

Here is my LO:

One more cool thing. A while ago, I entered a couple of pics in a Santa's Village photo contest. They chose one of them to use in their online scrapbook (we are on page 8 lol), and are sending us a free ticket - a $24 value! Here is a link to our pic: http://www.santasvillage.com/public/fun/scrapbook09/content/SantasVillage9608%200553_large.cfm

It's a blast for the kiddos if you live in the New England area, or if you are just visiting the White Mountains. I highly recommend it!

New Digital LO

2009-06-21T17:25:00.003-04:00

I like to dabble in digital sometimes. I love freebies, and my favorite kits are from Shabby Princess at http://www.shabbyprincess.com. This one is made using her Feb. 2009 Kit, Happy Go Lucky.

Digital Template is from Pencil Lines by Marla Kress.

New Sketches 6/8 - Lazy Look!

2009-06-08T18:19:00.003-04:00

So I'm having computer problems and lost one of the sketches I drew up in PSE. I decided to just take pics of my hand drawn sketches and share them that way. Takes less time and gets them to you all days faster.

It has been a long time - hope you like!

Cleaned and Organized

2009-06-07T21:59:00.002-04:00

Today I did both, and tomorrow I'm going to post pics of my progress. I don't know if all of my reorganizing will be practical, but I'm hoping! At least I can see my dining room table now lol. I am so in love with this organization challenge. I need it so much!

Baby Album for a friend - Done!

2009-06-06T07:42:00.008-04:00

My friend and coworker is having a baby girl at the end of July, so for her shower gift, I decided to make her an album. I used almost all scraps, and as of yet have not had to buy anything to make it. Luckily, I was part of a month tag swap, so lots of credit must go to my talented friends at ASP.

I am very happy with how it is coming out, even though simple. Hope she likes it!

2 Peas Organizational Challenge

2009-06-04T05:40:00.005-04:00

This is actually challenge #2 - assessing your space. I took these pics this morning. My space hasn't been used since the weekend, and it is now Thursday lol. As you can see, alot of stuff just gets "piled" up, even non sb stuff. I usually clean & then scrap on the weekends, but THIS is an accurate pic of what my space (which is supposed to be a dining room) looks like most of the time. Here it is, in all it's glory lol:

Dining room table/scrap area- can you see my drawers and paper storage? Ideally, I'd like to use the table for dining again lol. I'd also like to get my other junk off the table

My messy desk area - there is lots of room for shelves here, dh and I have talked and talked about doing something w/this corner - maybe a small table next to my desk for my Cricut, storage shelving over desk, maybe some cork boards. It seems to be all talk, no action lol. I'm hoping this challenge helps!

This one is more storage space in my hallway, again, stuff just gets piled on this dresser, and not all of it is sb stuff:

Ideally, I'd just like to keep this area clean. I have so much "junk" piled - clean clothes, hair products, dd's toys, etc. If I could clear all THAT up, then I can start organizing lol. Wish me luck!

Blog Hop #3 - sorry!

2009-06-02T07:39:00.002-04:00

Thanks for looking!

Well, I'm trying

2009-05-31T14:59:00.003-04:00

I wanted to get that Pyzam crap off the top of my blog, and in doing so I've wasted 2 hours to get my blog to look this good. I can't change or add to the Layout of the page, but before I lose my mind, I must quit for today.

Happy Earth Day!

Sketchbook sketches

2008-03-23T08:09:00.004-04:00

So I have a little sketchbook, and here is what a sketch looks like BEFORE I put it into digital form:

Basically, they are a mess! I like my handwriting and all, but don't have a scanner, so that is why I use digital formatting, though as a scrapper, I much prefer using handwritten sketches. So, here is a LO I did from the sketch on the right:

Cute flower is from a stacked flower swap I was in. Just thought I'd share :-)
