Good Morning,

It feels so good to get this post up early! Here is the sketch this weekend at Practical Scrappers, it's another fantastic sketch from Ann-Katrin.

I was so inspired to go outside my color box on this one by my fellow dt sister, Joni. She always does the most wonderful layouts with white or very light base pages. So, I threw my white page in on this one.

My paper and overlay are Fancy Pants. I used a template for the flourishes, embossed a little silver around them so that they matched the frame. I cut the title from the Home Accents cart. For a little more color, I added some Prima posies and butterflies from K & Co.

This is a great sketch, if you get to play along with us, be sure to link it up here.

Enjoy your beautiful Sunday!

Blessings,

Thankful Autumn...

Good Sunday Morning,

This morning I am sharing two 8X8 pages from Ben's fall album. We had taken a trip up in the Jefferson National Forest last year in late October. We visited the beautiful Flag Rock. These photos are taken there. Here it is November, a year later, and just getting the book finished. I think I need to quit my day job so I'll have more time for my hobby! teeee heeee.

We had such a beautiful day to drive and see the glory in God's autumn paint brush. I really Cherish that day we spent together. I hope you all have a blessed upcoming week. Come back tomorrow for some Cafe Mojo, Practical Scrappers, and Digital Ink Co projects.

Good Wednesday Morning,
It is Wednesday and that brings the reveal of a new challenge at Penny's Challenges! This week, my friend, Penny, wants to see an Autumn theme that includes trees. I still love using my little trees from Creations by Penny. I tried to add in some orange, yellow, and red to the green leaves. I used my nesties and lots of bling. My DT sisters at Penny's Challenges have created some gorgeous Autumn cards. Go to my sidebar to visit their blogs and leave them some love! I hope that you are inspired and motivated to play along with us this week! Have a great day!

We designers had some amazing images from Stamping Dragon Designs to work with. I chose the beautiful Autumn Leaves set. I used my watercolor pencils and blending pen. I live in the mountains and we are just now beginning to get a touch of color. I tried to replicate the colors I see outside now. I can't wait until it is peak season.!

Love 2 Relax...

And so another Monday is here. Well, at least we have a new challenge up at Practical Scrappers this week. For those of you who have I chose to do a layout of my daddy relaxing after coming out of his garden this summer. Now, remember, his garden is at the lake house. This photo was taken the first week in July. I used a Scrapsketch from Steph as my inspiration.

Now it is your turn, I can't wait to see what you can create.

Those Eyes....

Happy Wednesday All,
I hope your week is off and running in a good direction! Quick post this morning! Here's a two pager I did for the Creative Scrappers sketch 62. I've been wanting to do a page with my Little Kids eyes for a while. These are still not the exact thing I had in mind, but I LOVE how they turned out!! I played with the color saturation just a little on these, they are not all the way black & white and not all color either. I really am pleased with the end product! I hope you enjoy!
