It's Tuesday!!! Back to school soon?

Can't believe that summer is almost over...you'd never know it from the temperature outside here in Phoenix!! 101 degrees at 9:30pm...!!      And Joseph starts school tomorrow.... my big second grader!! 


Welcome to Sketch Along Tuesday at FROSTED DESIGNS!!!

This week, we have this cute sketch!!!

And this is my DT layout using My Minds Eye....  (I flipped the sketch left to right)



And....over at SCRAPBOOKERS ANONYMOUS this month's challenge is to use those old Journaling Cards/Journal Spots.  So, I dug around a little and found 2 12x12 sheets of Journal cards from Collage Press....I have NO paper to match these...so they were PEFECT for this challenge!!
After I had arranged the Journal blocks & my photos, it really needed to be "tied" together..so I added the large stitched circle...


And they also have a challenge to make a card from the scraps...so this was one of the journal cards that didn't quite work on the layout (cupcakes?)...but perfect for a b-day card!!



And a few other things to share:

DT Layout for challenge at MEMORABLE SEASONS - challenge was to use our "school colors"...
My colors were scarlet/red, grey, white & black.  We were the "Scots" and we had a Tartan plaid...


And also at Memorable Seasons, this week's challenge it to "lift" our Member of the Month...CAROL!!
Now, I always work WAY ahead on my DT committments...but then I realized on Monday that I missed this assignment....  so I whipped up this layout...  First I'll show you Carol's that I lifted and then mine..
Carols:

My version:



And...at Scrap Our Stash in July our challenge was to use Red, White & Blue... this was my 2nd DT layout for the month and when I went on vacation, I didn't know when it was going to post on the SOS blog.  I just realized that it happened while I was gone..and I didn't catch it until just now when I wondered why it never posted.... it did...I was on vacation...I missed it.. I'm so lame!!   
So I'm sharing it now.


Thanks for stopping by today!!
