Sketch Number 33

New Sketch for today. I saw this ad with the brick background and I've been meaning to use my template from Crafters Workshop so this is the ad that inspired me.

And here is my layout about my son.

Oh I amost forgot the sketch! You don't need to use a template or even bricks, but you can if you want. If you do this sketch I would be more than happy to add it to my blog!

New sketch

Hi all, I lost my hard drive which had all my unpublished sketches, I had a lot of them, but this week I got back into making sketches, but not using an ad. I took ideas from Pinterest and from the Boysrulescrapbook kit I received as I was a guest designer. For instructions on how to make the "NO SCORING INVOLVED rosette, see my scrappy website, Hawthorne Hills.
Here is my sketch and my layout. If you do the sketch, let me know and I would be honored to put it on my website!

Sketch Number 32

New Year - New Sketch!

Finally got my a new computer, mine crashed the day after Christmas, and with all the commotion around the holidays, well finally have some computer time today. Here is a sketch I did for today.

I made this frame for my sisters Halloween wedding, on canvas, I used Quick Quotes papers and canvas frame for this.

And here was my inspiration for this sketch, of course it was made for 12x12 but you can adapt any sketch to any size with a little imagination.


PS _ If you do any of my sketches please send them to me and I will put them on here. I decided not to have a design team right now, maybe if I get more time, but right now I am just doing it whenever I get I get a chance. Thanks ladies.

UPDATE!!!!

I'm BACKKKKKK! After a serious battle with the chemo this past summer, I feel great and ready to get back into scrapping full time. I am currently re-arranging my scrapbook room, since I got a desk for my sewing machine from Santa. But yesterday my computer crashed and I had to get a new one today. SO, as soon as I have my files restored (DH is working on that), I will have a new sketch, hopefully by this weekend. I won't be doing a new sketch ever week, but I sure will try!
Love you all for your support!
