Wow! The time just slips away doesn't it?
Over the last couple of weeks I've been busy busy busy to say the least but I have had some time (although not enough as usual) to get crafty.
I'm participating in the Sketch Mania challenge over at Scraps of Us which has been really fun. It started December 1, and so far I've created two sketches, and one layout as part of that challenge. I can only post the first sketch right now as the second hasn't been released to the group yet, but I will post it as soon as I can.
Here is my Sketch Mania Sketch #1
The directions for the challenge were pretty straightforward - create a sketch that includes 4 photos and one spot for journaling. If you'd like to create a layout based on my sketch that would be awesome! I would love to see it! Just create away and then post it out there in cyberspace, but be sure to send me a link (via email or a comment).
Liz Weber, another gal in the Sketch Mania group was assigned my sketch to create a layout as part of the contest. I have requested her permission to share her creation here, but haven't received a response yet. Hopefully she agrees to let me share, since she did a fantastic job with it. It is so fun to see a sketch come to life.
The layout I created as part of the Sketch Mania challenge is this one.
I decided to go all-digi on this, and used a freebie that I picked up from Studio Baers Garten @ Scrapbookgraphics called Turkey Day by Iara Gomes Baer. I think the freebie is still available, so if you're interested in picking it up try this link to download.
The sketch I received was by Tracy Sherriff, and is below and while I admit, I did interpret this one a little creatively and incorporated lots of extra 'white' space, the layout of each element matches her sketch exactly, although in reverse. This was a ton of fun to pull together, and I'm really looking forward to designing future Sketch Mania sketches and layouts.

The other thing I've been working on, although not quite so faithfully is my Jessica Sprague Holidays in Hand album. I actually don't even have anything to share on this quite yet, but it is in process.
AND....I haven't forgotten about my KaiserCraft Advent Calendar project that I promised to post, I just haven't had a chance to take the pic. Hopefully this will get done today and I will post my finished project tomorrow. The kids are just loving checking out the little drawers each morning. It's really fun!
Until next time.....
