Sketch #15

It's time for another sketch...

layout credits: MSS March '07 kit (Scenic Route papers; scalloped bazzill; 7 gypsies paper, HS bling line); Fontwerks label stickers; Doodlebug alpha stickers.

I know some of you have already done layouts with the sketch @ the MSS crop--great job everyone!!!

Double the pleasure!

Two online crops this weekend!

I've got a sketch challenge up at MSS... odds are good the sketch will turn up here, too... ;). Marcy and Leigh have some challenges up too, and there will be more challenges tomorrow!

and BYOM is having a crop this weekend too... so far I have two challenges up (out of 8) with more coming Saturday and Sunday. If you like my hybrid goodies, make sure you check out my "hybrid made easy" challenge to snag this one (designed to co-ordinate with Making Memories 5th Avenue):


I really want to scrap (so much inspiration!) but I helped out with inventory overnight at the store last night (last minute thing) and I only got 4 and a bit hours of sleep last night. I'm hoping I'll have time tomorrow!

Great kit for a great cause!

Some of my favourite digi designers have teamed up to make this beautiful kit Fresh Outlook at Songbird Avenue this month. All the money (minus PayPal fees) is being donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. It's only available for the month of March, so get it while you can!

March DT layouts!

It's a fun, colourful kit at MSS this month... a great mix once again. Papers from American Crafts, KI and Love, Elsie, MOD, 7 Gypsies, and Luxe to start things off. Add some felt flowers, some Heidi Swapp goodies (photo corners and coloured acrylic accents) MM trim and an awesome stamp (I've been looking for a messy circle stamp like this forever!!!) and you're good to go.

Here's what I did with it:

You can see what the other MSS girls did this month in the gallery. Lots of eye candy as usual!

It's my month off at BYOM, and I haven't got my kit yet but I'm really excited to get it! I've really been liking a lot of the newer Making Memories stuff, and this is no exception. Beautiful papers, the shaped journaling papers, and really nice ribbons. Can't wait! I might not have anything done, but you can check out what Colleen, Kelly, Krystn, Laura, Monica and Shannon did here!

Come join the Party!

Willow Traders is having a month-long birthday party, and each day is a mini-party hosted by a different kit club. March 1st is hosted by BYOM and we're having a mini-crop! There will be a few challenges and a game posted throughout the day, and you have until midnight to do any of the challenges. Carmen and Krystn are giving away a March kit and a January kit (anyone who completes a challenge will be entered to win) so come on over and join in!

I designed some journaling tags that co-ordinate with the February '08 kit for one of the challenges, and I'm sharing them here too... It's a 4x6 jpg document, so click the link and save the file to your computer, then print it as you would print a photo (on photo paper or cardstock). You'll be able to snag it for 7 days... Enjoy! Click here to get them. I'd love to know what you think, so leave me a comment! :D ***edited to add a picture of my layout using the tags***

Sketch #14

Posted this one on the MSS blog over the weekend, and thought I might as well use it here too...

layout credits: Making Memories papers and buttons; Jason Gaylor brushes on photo before printing; Gel-a-tins and Fontwerks stamps; Imaginicse flower bling and Heidi Swapp bird.
I'd love to see your take on the sketch, so link me up!

Sketch #13

I have to say that my hat goes off to all those sketch blogs out there that have a new sketch with examples posted each week... it's a lot harder than I thought it would be, and obviously I'm not very good at it. I'm going to try to stay more on top of it though, so we'll see how it goes.


Here's the sketch this week:

supply list: Basic Grey papers, stickers and tags; Fontwerks stamps; Gelly roll glitter pen and K&Co coloured bling. I'd love to see your take on the sketch!
