Junk Journal Flip Signature #3

I’m filming a second flip of all six signatures of my Junk Journal on YouTube & you can see signature #3 here:

WOYWW #660

Happy Wednesday and happy WOYWW! Why am I sharing my work desk with you? It’s all part of the WOYWW linkage. Take a peek into the crafty areas of many deskers around the world. 

There’s not much on mine except some Sweet Tarts and a rainbow Valentine’s Day shaker card. I just finished the live FB event so my desk was pretty clear!

See you next Wednesday!

Stick It Down Sketch

I decided to work on a two page layout using a Stick It Down two page sketch. Originally I was going to make this a Month in Review spread but then I realized that the baby taking her first steps should have its own layout. But these pages flow as one.

Here’s the sketch:

Here’s the layout:

Be sure to check out the YouTube process video:

All the papers and embellishments are from the Dear Lizzie It's All Good collection by American Crafts.

The pink background paper is cut at 10.5x 10.5 and 10.5 x 11.5 and the yellow paper is 3”x 10.5 and 3x4.5.

TGIF; Thankful Friday #206

Happy Friday and happy another week to be thankful! This week I’m thankful for the time I’ve been able to spend with my hubby and granddaughters. I go back to work next week after being home on disability for 12 weeks!

It’s gonna be hard to get up and ready for work!

I took these pix while we were blowing bubbles! She found these crowns so we all wore them all day.

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #210

Time for another sketch at the Sketch N Scrap challenge blog. I love using sketches as a jump off point when making cards or layouts. SNS has two layout and two card sketches each month. Be sure to check out the blog for inspiration.
 

Here's the sketch for the card:

And the completed card:

I used some leftovers from a 6x6 pad, cut and punched a bunch of circles in different sizes. I used a stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey for the sentiment & watermelon slice.

I found those little yellow flowers on my desk and added black centers with some Nuvo drops.

Your turn...create a card inspired by the sketch and link it to the SNS blog before the end of January.
