LGS Blog Hop Challenge-Fall into Fall

 

 

Welcome to the very 1st Let’s Get Sketchy blog hop!! We at LGS are so very excited about our first blog hop! If you have arrived here from Debbie's blog welcome to the LGS blog hop!! If you have stumbled across this by chance and want to play along then you can head back to the Let’s Get Sketchy site to start at the beginning and to start collecting your Fall challenge words. These words should be bolded on each DT member’s pages.

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year, its when the leaves start changing colors and everything around us is beautiful. It is also the season of Thanksgiving, which reminds us to take a moment to reflect on all the things we are most thankful for.

So in celebration of the fall we are hosting a Fall Color Combo challenge. You are to use the colors below and create ANY project related to the Fall. It can be a layout, card, mixed media project or altered item. The sky is the limit! Once your project is completed, please return to LGS an upload your project using Mr. Linky.

Please use the color combo below:

Here is my 2 pager!

 

 

As you hop along the way you will find clue words on each of the Design Team member’s blogs. Once you have gathered all the words they will form a quote related to Fall, Once you unscramble the quote send your answer to us at letsgetsketchy@gmail.com for an extra RAK of scrap goodies

My Word is :

Bees

The winner of the hop will be randomly selected and will win the beautiful Prima collection below. As always there are rules for playing!

Here are the rules for playing and winning:
1. You MUST be a follower of each LGS team members blog and leave a comment on each blog.

Lots of Photos!

Sorry it’s been so long did you miss me!!! My girls have been sick so I have lost all personal time, but here is an older layout that is great for lots of photos that you just gotta use. It’s a super easy sketch from Scrapbooks Etc. I changed it up a bit because well that’s just what I do; I have to feel like it’s mine in some way J

Products: Bazzill Cardstock & Boarders, Reminisce Barnyard Buddies Collection

I’m working on my first Mini album so I should have it up soon!! And I will have a layout from one of my Creative Memories Workshops next week… So keep coming back!!!

Working at the Car Wash

Sydney had so much fun washing the car with her daddy. It was so funny to see a two year old washing a car that had only been detailed by hand before she was born, it’s funny how much kids change everything!

 As you may or may not be able to tell by know I really like my two pagers and I’m not so great at the journaling. So the little cheat that I used on this page was to write directly on the picture. Now I know it’s not journaling but it’s better than nothing and it makes me smile every time I think of Syd calling the Jaguar a kitty.

Products used: Basic Grey Konnichiwa & Kissing Booth Collections, Kaisercraft Fine & Sunny Collection, Eyelets, Twine, MM Snaps, Distressing tool, and Distressing Ink.

Real Simple Two Pager

It’s a super simple layout but I really like it because I’m actually in the pictures! I used a two page sketch from Scrapbook ECT. And it worked great for all the little pictures of the skaters. I bet it would work great for a zoo page or anything that you have a ton of pictures that aren’t great but you want to include.

 

A few Simple Tricks

·         Tip use a punch for your squares

·          Print wallet size pictures

Products: Bazzill, EK Mickey Mouse Paper, Joellees Titles

2 Page Sketch Challenge

So last month I found this wonderful little group on scrapbook.com. Each month they have a fun challenge using two page sketches, now I don’t know about you but I love 2 Pagers!! Here is what they had for us this month and here is what I came up withJ.

You should stop by next Month!

Products: Bazzill, Kaisercraft Fine and Sunny Collection Paper & Sticker Sheet, Some Rhinestones and Glossy Accents.

Using up the attic Stash!

 I finished this layout on my last trip to the Gotta Scrap Inn in Manchester, Mi. If you have never been you really should make the trip! But back to my layout I used Reminisce’s Happy Easter Collection and a bit of Bazzill. I really liked the way I cut the bunnies ears out so they would not be lost behind the pictures. I hope you all like the layout, Happy Bunny Day Everyone!

Wishing it was Summer

I just love Imaginisce products in fact I have been known to hoard the lines until I find the perfect picture. I finally decided to use the “Splash Dance” collection with these pictures of Sydney wearing her oh so cute sunglasses!

Products: Bazzill Cardstock, Jolee’s Boutique Title, Splash Dance Collection Cardstock, Epoxy Stickers, 3 Dimensional Stickers and a bit of ribbon.
