PineWood Derby

So this week at SKETCHES IN THYME, Tiffany created this 2 page sketch that is busier than her normal sketches...but I love the Grid and knew I wanted to use LOTS of photos.

Luckily I always have lots of photos...but I knew right away that this sketch was perfect to document Joseph's first every PINEWOOD DERBY for Cub Scouts.  

Joy... in black and white with Green!

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is to create a layout/project with the Colors BLACK, WHITE plus 1 other color...   (I chose GREEN because of my photo)

This was perfect for this picture I have of Joseph with his new bike on Xmas day...

2 Cards using a sketch and Doilies

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is Doilies... now since they're really not my style, and I don't have any in my stash, i decided to find product lines that had them already as a design in their papers.  I found 2 that I loved, so I made 2 cards....
We also had to use this sketch:

Here are my cards:

Don't Blink....

This week at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun 2 page sketch that I turned into a single pager...

iLove my iPad....

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is "travel"....

So I didn't want to do a typical "vacation" photo....so I pulled this photo of Joseph in the back seat during our 6 hour drive home from Carlsbad CA last summer.....  passing the time playing on my iPad....

Also last week at Memorable Seasons, I issued a challenge and this was my sample layout using this inspiration I found in Pinterest:

I loved the frame wall and the general shape of the room..

So I create this  layout about our favorite hummingbird that came back this spring...

US...(yes, I'm in a photo)

This week at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun sketch with a tilt...

i had a pack of pictures out from when Joseph was 1 year old, so this photo with me in it actually worked very nicely for this layout...

SPIN DIVE MOVE.....

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is SCALLOPS!!!


today is the day that my DT layout posts...and here is what I created!!

This one was fun...notice I also used lots of arrows and circles...and "spinners" to play off of the "SPIN" he's doing and I have in the title....

Touching the Stars

This week at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun 2 page sketch...
