Savannah ~ It's the little moments..... -- Stuck On U Sketches

 Hi everyone!!!!  I wish you all the very best in 2013 and hope you find lots of time to create/scrap!!  To help you along we have another beautiful sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches and this one was created by Co-Leader Nanne...

   

Here's the sketch.....

BUT, for this challenge we also have a twist...  Use some of your scraps!!  Although you don't have to do the twist if you don't want too....  but why not?  I know most of us have plenty of scraps laying around so here's a chance to use some of 'em!!!  ;o) 

 

Here are some of the scraps I used....

I wound up not using a couple of these, but then I also used up some of my black cardstock scraps to mat the photo and for the 4 Sizzix flourishes in the corners!!!

 For this challenge I decided to do a "girly" page....  With 3 little grandsons and only 1 granddaughter I find myself doing more and more "boy" layouts..... 

The photo is of GD Savannah at 6 years, and was taken September 25, 2011... 

Here are a few close ups!!!

All Things Grow With Love ~ Stuck On U Sketches ~~ WAS FEATURED OVER A LASTING MEMORIES ~ WAS CHOSEN AS A TOP 3 OVER AT LASTING MEMORIES AND WAS THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER OVER AT LASTING MEMORIES!!!

Hi everyone!!  It's Friday and that means another wonderful sketch challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches!!  This one is from our Co-Leader Sandi Clarkson, and you can do, ooooh, so many things with it!!!

Here is the sketch...

Now, if you are familiar with my layouts, you know I don't do CAS layouts very often.... It's not because I don't like them... I really do...  In fact, I love the way your main focus is on the photos on a CAS layout...  I just usually try to add more layers and embellies on my layouts...  But when I saw this sketch from Sandi, I loved the simplicity of it and therefore decided to see if I could  make a layout focusing on the photo only, but still wanted it to be pretty.  I must say it was a little hard for me, and I still think I need to add more...  not for sure what..  But this is what I come up with!!!

Here are a few close ups..

Top...  Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corners, Bazzill Die Cut Strip, Cabochons, K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Bees..

Bottom Right...   Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corner, QuicKutz Corner Flourish Die Cut,  K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Butterflies and Flowers, Stamped Title and then Embossed with Black EP, Martha Stewart Cherish Punched Corner/Border, and Prima Say It In Pearls...
