January Sketch Challenge

It's been so long since we've done a sketch challenge! I think it's time for one! I did not create this challenge, but will be working on my sample this weekend! Need more sketch ideas? I found this one at Little Sketches.

Here's the sketch, follow as best you can using CTMH products. Email me a picture of you layout and I'll post it here. All your peers will do the voting! Remember to photograph your layout with good lighting. It does make a difference in how others see your layout, whether it's clear to see. :) Happy scrapping!!Entry #1, by Shonda Hay: Entry #2, by Kim Bailey: Entry #3, by Laurel Swanson

The new 2010 Spring catalog is arriving soon!

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I've updated my blog! The new catalog will be available January 1st. It's the perfect time to spend scrapbooking, way to cold to be outdoors! Today is a great day to just keep warm and sort through some pictures. Here's an invite to my Open House. If you can make it, don't forget to RSVP for your free gift! I hope to see you soon!

Summer is here, or is it?

Summer should be here, today it's quite rainy though. Tomorrow should be much better, and swimming weather! We've been rather busy lately. Hubby and I took the girls to Disneyworld for a week! Best trip ever! Next we're taking a cruise with a few friends - no kiddos! :)

I'm going to hold off posting any sketch challenges for a while. I think everyone gets pretty busy outdoors in the summer and scrapbooking is put on hold. We'll start them back up this fall! Have a great break!

Entry #2, by Abbey Kruse.

Millicent Isla Gray has arrived! I'm an Aunt again!

Millicent (Milly) arrived yesterday morning weighing 5.1, she is six weeks early, but doing great. She's in the NICU for a while, but breathing on her own - Yeah! Her mom (my sister) is also doing great, she desperately wants to hold her baby so hopefully soon!

My Cousin - Mary Christine

Mary Christine is my 20 year old cousin. I'll be taking her sister's Senior Pictures this summer so I wanted to get a little practice in beforehand. Mary Christine LOVES the camera and is a great subject to photograph!

Bunny Love Covered Notebooks

I started these little notebooks just for fun. Once Holly realized what I was making she just "had to have one", then I knew I'd be making three! LOL All products are CTMH except for the notebooks themselves. The printed paper used is an old retired paper, the stamp set for the bunnies is Bunny Love. Such a cute set!

Crop Update!!

The Bondurant Mother's Crop this weekend was so much fun! We're going to hold these in November and February. If you haven't attended one yet, you just don't know what you're missing! We give away lots of prizes, have good food, tons of different demos, make n take projects and lots n lots of fun! We've read over the evaluations are will be making a few "alterations" to our next one in November. We love the feedback, we're still new at this and are always looking to improve the fun!

Entry #10, also by Terri Brown. This one used Rustic Trail (retired).

The following two layouts were done by another CTMH consultant, Laura Ayala. She loved the sketch so much she did it twice! :) Since she is a consultant she cannot "enter" the contest, but she sure can play along! Thanks Laura! In the first layout she used Emporium and the other she used Aspen. I finally did a challenge layout too. I used Life Delights.

Pool layouts with Paper Dolls!

I didn't realize how many different features there were on the Paper Dolls cartridge! It was alot of fun piecing together my little mermaid. Most of the paper used is CTMH, some retired. I have tons of pool layouts so I'm sure my mermaid will be used again!

Cricut - Storybook Font and Daydream CTMH paper pack

I received Storybook for my Cricut for Christmas and I just LOVE this font! It's full of "princess" things and with three girls I'll use that alot. I used Daydream paperpack with stickease and of course - GLITTER!

February Stamp of the Month

I used "Easter Eggs", our February SOTM, for this layout. I did the "tissue-stamping" technique for my letters EASTER and outlined with glitter. I had lots of fun with this layout and normally I am not very happy with my Easter layouts. Now I get to do two more for the other girls!

College Girls Visit...

Over winter break my cousin, Mary Christine, and her best friend, Lauren, came to Iowa for a short visit. We all had so much fun and hated to see them go home! During the day they scrapbooked and after school they played "Barbies" with my girls. Such good girls to play so well with my little girls! Thanks for the visit MC and Lauren! Hope you come back soon!!
