another sketch from Scrapbook Challenges...

Hello and welcome to my scrappy space! I've got another sketch from Scrapbook Challenges here for you today. Remember that every Monday we release another great sketch and this week you are in for a treat as we've got a double-page sketch! 

I had some photos that were screaming my name yesterday...photos from a recent baseball tournament down in Tacoma Washington. 

My son is a true baseball fan and player and he loves to steal...whenever he can...but unfortunately for the other team he is FAST! So it's not very often that he gets caught out on a steal or on his lead-offs from the bag...

One of the things I LOVE about Close o My Heart's cardstock is that it's white core...so when I want to sand it or distress it I can see this awesome contrast!

Now if you've been with me for long you would know that I love all manufacturers of Scrappy stuff...I've been getting the Studio Calico Project Life kits for quite a few months now and in one of my recent kits I got these awesome cork adhesive asterisks! Aren't they fantastic?!!

You can also see in the photo above that I have sanded the edges of the photos, which makes them stand out against the black CS base nicely and adds a little roughness to them for this baseball layout ;)

Love mixing up my title with various alpha fonts and stickers...adds a great connection of colours to this page and it's a great way to add some interest too! My arrows are an assortment from CTMH, Studio Calico and Freckled Fawn...like I said, I love to mix it up!

Here's the sketch:

Thanks so much for stoppin' by today!

Scrapbook Challenges sketch#348

I'm late! This is Sketch#348 from Scrapbook Challenges...I got it completed in time for reveal but with the distress of the past several weeks, I forgot to post it here too! Better late than never is an expression that I live by!

I created a quick layout using a fun photo from my daughter's Spring Break trip to Thailand! Imagine walking in the river while riding an elephant! I'm quite sure I won't be travelling that way anytime soon...lucky girl !

love that I was able to dig into my stash for these flowers and jewel bits!

I stuck true to the sketch and loved adding the machine stitching and ink blobs

This Basic Grey background paper was perfect because it already had some great distress to it! 

I picked up the hexagon Spellbinder die and these hexagons were super fast and easy :)

Now's here's the sketch! I hope you whip this one up, cause it took me longer to stitch with the machine then put it together...super fast but super fantastic too!

Make sure you head on over to Scrapbook Challenges Blog to see what some of the other Design Team ladies cooked up with this sketch!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by, I hope you have a fabulous day :)
