LOVIN' this sketch class!

Although I didn't get too much done this past week for LOAD, I did manage two more of the sketches from Zany Zinnea's Summer Sketch Club! What a great set of sketches Stacey has put together - thank you Stacey!! And being on a kit buying freeze, has forced me to dig deep into my stash and discover some papers that I had totally forgot I had. It's so much fun "shopping" thru my own goodies!!

My first layout from ZZ's class is from the Echo Park Sweet Summertime. I didn't realize until I snapped a photo that my smaller strip on top of the large striped piece was upside down. It was planned to have the other side, a pinkish and white small stripe instead of more of the diamond shapes. Oh well, its cute anyways with my little water babies!!

When I first received this next set of papers in my TSR DoubleShot kit I had no idea what I'd do with it. This has been hanging out in my stash now for almost two years and when I came across it this afternoon, I just knew my photos would work perfectly with the whimsey they perceived. Some times it does pay to hoard. ;-)

This last one is TSR's June Blog Sketch Challenge. I discovered these MME Miss Caroline 6x6 paper pads from a local business and just LOVE the size! They were perfect for this layout of my grandbaby watering plants in my garden - SWEETNESS!!

The weekend is still young, so I hope to be back tomorrow with another creation!

Godspeed

LOAD continued....

With the help of Zany Zinnia's sketch class, I've rediscovered my mojo and have scrapped just about every day this past week! Stacey has done a beautiful job creating some wonderful and easy to follow sketches in 12x12 format that I have easily altered for my 8.5x11 size layouts. 

This last one is of Father's Day 2012. Love my guys!!

Thanks for stopping by!

More LOAD .....

Okay, the best laid plans didn't happen.....I doubt I'll get the 15 layouts done that I was hoping for, but it is what it is and I ain't sweatin' the small stuff!

Actually, the past two weeks have been extremely hectic and I just haven't had a spare moment. The kids closed on their new home and we've been painting and getting them moved. So excited for them, especially since they've been thru so much these past 18 months and this home will be that new beginning they hoped for. :-)

BUT! I did manage to get a couple layouts in and thought I'd share. As I stated before, I'm taking a sketch class and these are two more from that class. In the first one, All Done, I was keeping Ruby occupied while they were doing all the heavy furniture move. She has become VERY good at assembling puzzles and I LOVE that look on her face!

The second day they needed to get Ruby's playhouse moved, but the gate opening was too small! So the next best thing, besides taking it all apart, was to go Up & Over the fence! And Ruby, she couldn't be happier with her "house" in her new yard!

And now, onto the next one! Thanks for stopping by!

LOAD

By now we all have, or most of us anyways, participated in a LayOut A Day challenge in one or more of the various scrapping message boards here on the web. This month one is being held at The ScrapRoom and although I missed yesterday, I am trying hard to keep up with it this time. And with the help of Zany Zinnia's Summer Sketch Club, I should be able to do at least 15 of the 30 days for June, but hoping for more. But, we all know how life interferes and so much for those best laid scrappy plans!

My first up for LOAD is from ZZ's sketch #1. I think the story behind the layout is self explanatory and oh, so CUTE!

Now I must get myself together and head out to a softball game. Have a good day and thanks for stopping by!
