Unscripted Sketches 132

It is Saturday again, and it is time for another fabulous sketch at Unscripted Sketches . I head on over and try out the sketch. I used this weeks sketch to design the first panel of a small fall banner I am making. I can't show the whole banner, because I haven't finished it yet. I will post it just as soon as I am done with it. Feel free to leave me comments, as I love them. Let me know if you decide to play along at unscripted sketches this week.

Keep Scrappin.

Unscrioted Sketches 131

If you haven't checked out Unscripted Sketches, head on over to the site and play along with us. I decided to do something a little different with this sketch. I know it looks like an ordinary frame, but I intend for it to be a dry erase love note board. I made it for a friend and each day she can write something she loves about her children. Hope you enjoy this little project.

A Little Altered Project

I have been looking at the frame for months. It was a cheap framed from the Dollar Tree. It was begging to be made interesting. I roughed up the surface so the paint would stick and slapped some acrylic paint on it. I cut the words out with my cricut, used a little Tim Holtz ink, and added some flowers and pearls. I think it is pretty now. What do you think?

I thought this was going to have several pics of this project, but I keep getting an error while trying to upload pics.

Well, I have been missing a a while. I am back hope to be a blogging fool. I miss creating and need the creative release. Here is my layout for this week's sketch. I used Crate Paper for the layout and tried to contrast with a kind of scary picture of my daughter. The colors were very soft, but this photo is not. If you haven't already, head over to Unscripted Sketches and use the sketch. We would love to see what you do with the sketch.

We were asked to create a summer project for this hop and I have a couple of 4th of July projects to share with you. Unfortunately, my pics are not cooperating. I will add pictures later today even if I have to retake the pictures. If you stop back by and leave a comment on the 4th of July projects I will enter your name in a drawing for a RAK. For now, scroll down a little further and you will see a summery layout featuring my lovely daughter. Please don't tell her this pic is up on the blog, because she hates it. Hope to see you back in a bit.

Unscripted Sketches #112

Well, it is Saturday again. Another week has flown by and it is time for an Unscripted Sketches reveal. If you haven't seen what we do at Unscripted Sketches, let me fill you in. Every Saturday a new sketch and the design teams' projects inspired by that sketch are revealed. We then ask that you play along and link up what you create. You can use the sketch as is or flip it. Here is the sketch we used this week

After you check out what I created, head on over to Unscripted Sketches to see what the other designers created and then show us what you create. Between summer remediation, All-Stars, the little theater, and the kitchen remodel I was really pressed for time. Using the sketch allowed me to whip out a layout in now time at all. I kept it simple. I just wanted to highlight this picture. Courtney hates this pic, but I love it. It isn't fancy and it isn't flattering at all, but this is her. She was laying in the grass at one of Nick's parks and recs football game. It was hotter than Hades and she was just trying to stay cool.

I hope you will come create with us and check back next week for a new sketch.

Unscripted Sketches #111

Another week has flown by, and I was worried that I might not get this week's sketch done. I struggled coming up with an idea for this one until we were at the baseball tournament last weekend. Nick kept leaning over and saying this that started with, "So this is how it feels to..." The idea for this layout poppped into my head and here is is! I made the mistake of starting before printing the pics from the tournament and I had to use a horizintal picture. I liked the vertical prints better, but I didn't have time to reprint. Anyway... here is the sketch for this week.

I flipped the sketch upside down and this is what I came up with for the week.



I needed a little extra room to journal all the quotes, so I used two columns instead of one. It was a simple quick layout which is why I love these sketches so much. They can really be dressed up if you want, but they can be done quickly and easily. It allows me to record things I don't want to forget. Sketches are a tool to recording my children's lives.


The quotes say, "to be voted on to the all-star team" "to win more than you loses" "to be the number one seed" "to get on base 8 out of 9 times" "to stand tall when you hit" "to play in the championship game" "to know I am baseball!"

I added a little baker's twine and a few squares of cardstock with baseball stickers. I can't wait to see what you come up with using the sketch. Head on over to http://www.unscriptedsketches.com/ and link up your tsake on this sketch.
