TBall Princess for new Let's Scrap Sketch challenge

It's the 15th of October so time for the mid month challenge at Let's Scrap.  Michelle van Wyk has created another great sketch with room for multiple photos.
For my layout I created a page of my Tball princess.  This was Kenzie's first year with Tball.
I loved the pics of her trying out her mitt with her Elsa wig and dress on.
For the banners I used the front cover page of a Simple Stories kit that shows what papers are in the kit.  They were the perfect width for the banner .  The T-ball I cut out with a plain font and the princess was from a title for Silhouette America.  

Here is the awesome sketch by Michelle.  We would love to see you use this sketch as a jumping off point for your creation.  Also remember to check out what all the other designers have created and link it up before the end of the month at Let's Scrap.  Happy Craftin!

Summertime fun with flowes at Lasting Memories

The theme for the challenges for the month of October at Lasting Memories is Hot, hot, hot.  For this week you are asked to do a layout with Summertime fun and flowers.  

I created a layout of my granddaughter Brittany with Simple Stories mixed Stack and flowers from my stash.  Brittany is 4 now and really growing up quickly.  The colors of the paper went well with the pictures.  And I used some of the tags.  

Check out what all the designers at Lasting Memories created to share with you this week.  Remember there is a new challenge every Sunday and you have the entire month to link up.  

Going to a crop to scrap my Disney side

I love attending crops at my local scrapbook store.  I also teach classes there.  I have a locker so I decided to make it easy I would keep my extra Silhouette and all my Disney paper, etc in there.  That way all I have to do is grab my pictures and a few little things and off I go to crop.  It really helps me keep focused too when I am scrapping one theme.  

For this page I used the Mouse Treats title and Mickey layered ice cream from PPBN Designs 

A quick page with embellishments from my stash.  

These are pics of my granddaughter and oldest daughter when we went to see Cinderella.  

The paper is Princess from Simple Stories.  

More Simple Stories paper but this time it's Say Cheese 

Dreams really do come true

Love the Simple Stories Enchanted Paper line and it was perfect for these pics from one of our recent Disney trips,  Since it is the 60th anniversary of Disneyland its all about glitz and shine.  My granddaughter fell in love with this jacket and every time she sees it she shows it to me.  

It was quick and easy to use the Enchanted paper and embellishments with 

the Sketch N Scrap sketch for Twistback Tuesday #86 

 We were also supposed  to use Washi tape and I used both Enchanted washi tape and glitter tape.  

Oh and by the way Grammy bought the jacket the last time we were there.  

Swim like a fish

I created this layout with some great pics of granddaughter Kenzie, Simple Stories, and 

this great sketch from Stuck on you Sketch  for June 19th.  

The title Swim like a Fish  is from Silhouette America.  

I am really going to miss the SOUS challenges and wish Nanne and the DT all the best.  

Here is the page I created to go with it of more fun pictures at the pool.  

That's me in the center with grandson Micah and papa in the pool with them.  

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Disneyland

Over the weekend I attended a crop where I teach classes Busy Bee in Newbury Park, California.  

We also did a birthday card exchange so now I am set for birthday cards for awhile.  

This layout is made from a kit I bought last year on Shop Hop.  I threw away the package at the store so that is all I can tell you right now.  I do know the paper is Say Cheese by Simple Stories.  

The pictures are of my family and I just a week ago at Disneyland.  

We went for a three day trip for the 24 hour event and the weekend of the opening of Disney's 60 year celebration.  I am really excited about this as I went to Disneyland within a few months of it first opening when I was two.  We were not able to attend the 24 hour event as when we got down there on Friday both parks were closed.   Disney closed in the afternoon due to capacity crowds and reopened about 3 a.m.   California Adventure closed a few hours later and reopened about midnight.  

The lines were crazy so we stayed at hotel and watched the fireworks and went the next morning  

On the left is my oldest daughter with my granddaughter Kenzie and I the first morning.  

My daughter made our matching Mickey ears. 

On the right is a family picture with brother and dad.  

The other pics show the decorations.  

The decorations were amazing!

My Favorite Work of Art

This was such a fun sketch and layout to put together.  My layouts almost always have the grandkids in them but I wanted to do something special with this picture.  It  is of my oldest daughter and son in law on a date night at The Painted Cabaret.  It's a fun place to go where you do a painting and their choice was Jack Skellington since they are Disney fans.  

For the paper I used Simple Stories from a mixed stack.  

The paint palette, paint brush and title came from Silhouette America.  

The hearts I punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.  

I used the punch outs and saved the punched border for another project.  

I really liked the way this came out.  

Linking up to the challenge at Stuck on you Sketches for May 22 

Good day sunshine - Watching the game

I created this layout of my grandson Micah for two challenges.

I used paper from a Simple Stories compilation stack for this page.   

The pictures are of Micah hanging out at the baseball park watching his sister play Tball.  

The first challenge is the sketch challenge at Let's Get Sketchy Week 2.  

This is the sketch.

This is the companion page with more pics of Micah and grandpa watching the game.  

Time for a new Let's Scrap challenge

It's time for another great sketch challenge at Let's Scrap.  

I used the awesome sketch  by Michelle and Simple Stories A Charmed Life paper.  

The pictures are of my grandson Micah and his sister Kenzie playing dressup.  

Please excuse the glare on a couple of the photos.  

This is the great sketch and also don't forget to check out the other challenges on Let's Scrap this month in honor of National Scrapbooking Day.  

Remember you have till the end of the month to 

complete your layout and link it up with Let's Scrap.  

Four year old #Selfies

My daughter found these pictures on her phone that my four year old granddaughter took of herself.   

We had no idea she had done these so it was quite the surprise.  

She is a real character as you can tell from her faces.  

I used Simple Stories for the paper.  

I used the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy  Week 2 so am linking it up to the challenge.  

I inked the edges with Prima ink and added some brads and a cute paper clip.  

Princess new Simple Stories

My latest layout was created using the new Simple Stories Enchanted collection.  The pictures are of  two of my grandkids visiting  the Frozen Experience at Disneyland.  On this day in January Elsa was the only one there but the kids didn't care.  They can never get enough of anything Frozen.  The first picture is Kenie with tickets.  The second pic is Kenzie laying on the floor looking at clock like Anna does in the movie. She did this all on her own when she saw the clock. The rest of the pictures are Elsa talking with them.  Kenzie loves looking at the character's shoes.  

Hello Life layout with Simple Stories

                                            The minute  I saw this fun sketch  at      Lets Get Sketchy Week 4

I grabbed a small 6 x 6 paper pad I had of Simple Stories.   I was going to use a square punch but ended up hand cutting the pieces to best utilize the papers.  I added washi tape and Tim Holtz filmstrip piece across the bottom.  I love the way it came out.  A fun page for my granddaughter's cute picture of her holding a chicken.  I inked the edges with brown ink and then glued them to a black piece of Bazzil so they would pop.  This was a lot of fun to do and I like the way it came out
Much better than having the pad sit on the shelf collecting dust.  

    Here is the sketch fro Lets Get Sketchy Week 4

The sketch designer is Laura Whitaker.  

Also entering in Shopping Our Stash 

This week's theme is Neon Rainbow, and we'd like you to use neon -OR- a rainbow -OR- use rainbow colors. Feel free to combine the options, too! 

I definitely think there is a rainbow of colors on this layout.
