Fashionista in training ~ Stuck On U Sketches Sketch Challenge ~ Chosen as a Top 3 over at Lasting Memories!!

Hi everyone!!!  I hope all is well....  I've been away on a mini vacation with my husband...  He had a seminar in Houston and asked me if I wanted to tag along with him...  I jumped at the opportunity and so glad I did...  There was a mall just across the street and we had our own sky walk from the hotel to mall....  I loved it... and I got in a lot of walking!!   They didn't have a scrapbook store, but hey, you can't have it all!!! 

This week we have a great sketch  over at Stuck On U Sketches created by our Co-Leader.... actually it's a 2 pager....  

Remember, on a 2 pager you can do the left side, right side, or both sides...  The option is yours!!!!

I decided to do just the RIGHT SIDE...  and I chose a photo of Granddaughter Savannah taken December, 2012..  It was at the Courthouse Square in downtown Lockhart, Texas... They were having a Christmas Bazaar and while she was there she had her face painted...  It turned out great and she was so happy with the results.....

Here are a few close ups!!!

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...

Bottom Left...   Martha Stewart Wild Flowers Punched Border and Corner, QuicKutz Corner Flourish Die Cut, K&Company Brenda Walton Cardstock Butterflies and Flowers, Martha Stewart Cherish Punched Corner/Border, and Prima Say It In Pearls...

Easter, 2007 ~ Stuck On U Sketch Challenge ~~ Made Top 3 over at Paper Romance!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!  We have another wonderful sketch challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches!!  This time the sketch is from Liz Qualman..  and here it is..

I loved working with this sketch.. even though I changed it up just a little I kept the general design...    I found this cute photo of  DGD Savannah taken back in April, 2007, when she was 21 months old.   I decided to cut her out of the photo and use this laser diecut frame over some heidi grace paper as the background instead...  I really like how it turned out...

Here are a few close ups...

My title was punched with the QuicKutz Espresso DieCut Letters.. You can see some of the distressed edges and one of the butterflies...

Here you can see one of the petaloo flowers, a flourish cut with the Silhouette SD, distressed edges, and some bling!!

Here is some more destrissing, the ribbon flowers, string of hearts and another butterfly..

And finally here are the Petaloo flowers and Prima flowers, Prima Say It In Pearls, Silhouette cuts, and another butterfly..
