triple JUMP'ing with Scrapbook Challenges!

Good Morning! 

Just playing with more sketches from Scrapbook Challenges, this one worked great for my son's Triple Jump photos!

I've used two pieces of Kraft cardstock and strips of scrap paper...some pre-done Bazzil borders and assorted die-cuts and left over bits and pieces from my CTMH stash of corrugated shapes and canvas accessories!

Super fast and easy layout with lots of detail and interest!

As you can see, I've mirrored this sketch as I preferred the photos going the opposite way...

 Now if you love this sketch as a double like I did, have fun! and as usual I've also got the single page layout sketch here too! 

Remember to stop by Scrapbook Challenges and see what some of the other Design Team ladies have created with this great sketch!

Patriotism Challenge

A dollar late and a penny short...isn't that how the saying goes???!

Well you saw my Thursday Tutorial on Friday so I thought I'd show you the challenge I'm hosting as well over at Scrapbook Challenges this week featuring some 'Traditions' that each of us might have in our own Countries...my example was of our tradition to support our local Hockey team...through dressing up in team colours and jerseys...

Now part of the challenge is to use the word 'Tradition' somewhere on your page...

 I just love cutting stars from my stash of felt...gotta love a Sizzix!

Patriotism by definition is a devotion to one’s country...in this challenge I’ved asked everyone to show me this through the ‘traditions’ this may mean to each of you. I wanted this challenge to be a little outside the box so to speak and hopefully you might find something to scrapbook yourself with this theme!

Have a great weekend!!!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch 302

Good Morning and welcome to another Scrapbook Challenges Sketch for this week...only this time, I'll be presenting my layout with this sketch as one of their new Design Team members!!! So excited and so thrilled that they wanted me!!!

Now this is the single page version above and the double page version below...I decided to work with this sketch in the double page version because I had lots of photos of Marissa's Handball season...and you know how I am about trying to get the school albums up to date and complete...

now here's my take on sketch 302...

Now as you can see, this sketch certainly is loaded with photos, so for those of you that have so many pictures that you can't live without, this sketch is totally for you!!!

I had more trouble with using less paper...I found some sporty paper and some patterned paper that had a wood flooring look to it that reminded me of the hardwood floors in school gymnasiums...

I made the embellies from a piece of patterned paper with pre-printed images on it, dug into my corrugated stash of stars and misc. buttons and twine...easy peasy, lemon squeezy...not my favourite layout, but done nonetheless :)

Make sure you check out the SC site for more creations with this sketch from some of the other Design Team members and thanks for popping in today!!!

Got Dirt?

My son enjoys anything sports! If he can fit it in around his Hockey season and Baseball season then he's doin' it! This year after much consideration, I agreed to let him play with his school's Rugby team. My main concern of course is injury...luckily he made it through training and games relatively injury free! Minor scrapes, bruises and strained muscles...no problem!

I have used another fabulous 'Let's Scrap' sketch for Matthew's Rugby LO here...showing off the fact that Rugby players don't stop playing because it's raining! I made him stand in the laundry room to strip down...even made him rotate his own socks cause *yuck* I draw the line with rotating stinky, muddy, disgusting socks :) Luckily my kids are used to me taking pictures of every thing they do!

Now here's another LO I did of his Rugby game using one of Jeannette Lynton's designs in the new *Magic* book by Close To My Heart...the design is called 'Out of the Hat' and if you haven't discovered CTMH's How-To books yet...you need to drop me a line so I can hook you up!

Enjoy your Wednesday and thanks for stopping by :)
