SUCH a fun sketch from Kelli this week at Pink Sketches for sketch # 51... The sketch was for only one photo but I couldn't decide on which one to use, so I choose two.. These are from last year's Halloween carnival, and wow the kids have sure grown!!! We took new pics this year, but I didn't print them yet. but just LOVE always getting down with some Halloween themed photos to scrap.. only because it's my fave holiday!!! can't wait till Saturday.

Challenges with some Inspired Blueprints

Here is my layout using Inspired Blueprints # 32... such a fun sketch
and then combined it with Amy's LO challenge to create LO using funny pics and journal about it. My journaling says: "you guys are getting sillier and sillier. You love to make faces for the camera. Austin you stick your tongue through the hole in your teeth. Syd you such a tease when I take pics."

Used Inspired Blueprints # 33 to create this page...

Also combined it with Wendy's challenge at Two Spotted Dogs to create a LO with 4 photos and a circle... what a perfect sketch:

Twisted Sketch # 20

Saw this fun cool sketch from Twisted Sketches for sketch # 20 and love how they add a fun "twist" to play along which was: This week's twist is "Black, White & Grey" ... so I used mainly those colors with some pops of line green to accent here and there..

I also combined it with Daiva's Oct LO challenge at Two Spotted Dogs which was to take inspiration from Leah's May Arts mini album.. I choose to use the quote " I am crazy blessed: which I feel I am. Here is my page:

Pink Sketch # 50

ohhhh sooo lovin the fun new sketch from Pink Sketches this week for #50.. LOVE the focal of one photo that the sketch uses.. I had to pick this fun photo of Austin.. I love taking random everyday photos of the kids.. I love this photo of my son Austin, it really show off his sweet freckles. They really make him look sooo stinkin cute, and they are kinda his focal feature on his face. I hope he doesn't out grown them. so here is my take on it:

An Angel Challenge

For the Pimp My Bra Crop at Serendipity Scrapbooks.. there are sooo many inspiring challenges going on right now.. really you need to check it out...
Here is my challenge for the crop:
"Recently a good friend of mine had her life turned upside down in a very short time. My friend Shelley, lost her husband, a BIL and FIL in a plane accident (news story: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=7496744) . At the young age of 25, she became a widow and a young mother of 3 kids under the age of 4 years old, the youngest being only 3 months. I think I would have fallen apart, but she has become the truest example of what a HERO is to be, and reminds me of an angel. She is moving forward, taking each day one at a time, and being the best mother for her children, and talking to them each day about their dad. Her faith is even more incredibly amazing, and is something I find that I admire in her."

Shelley is such an amazing example and friend.. I had to choose her for my challenge...

you'll have to check out the rest of the challenge HERE, but here is my example page:

Pink Sketches # 49

Here is my take on the new sketch reveal at Pink sketches for sketch # 49... Love how fun the sketch is to use lots of photos, something I don't do much, but was able to find some fun photos of Lehi Days of Sydney and pull a few from all the activities that we got to do while Lehi Days were here this past summer. I have to just say I also LOVE anything from October Afternoon and get soo much out of their lines, they are sooo versatile and match everything, plus they are soo colorful and super fun...

Pink Sketch # 48

I'm super excited for my first week as a member of the Pink Sketches DT team.. Here is my first official take on the cool sketches that Kelli creates.. This is my spin on sketch # 48... I kinda flipped it around and worked with it that way.. These photos were taken at the fountain in a shopping center while we were in Cali this past summer.. The kids were waiting and I decided to whip out my camera and turn it into a fun photo shoot. They also were with their cousins and they started taking money out of the fountain, but we made sure they put it all back. so hope you play along with the sketch!! They rock!!
