Today’s sketch is all about being able to get a single event onto a single two page layout. I know I’ll have plenty of Graduation photos to scrap. So many in fact I’m leaning toward starting my first 12 x 12 album. I’ve stayed strictly 8.5 x 11 until now, but I’m really enjoying these larger sketches.
No fear, I’ll be showing off the 8.5 x 11 ones shortly!
Remember, today starts the new month for submissions for The View! Can’t wait to see what you all submit! Let’s see that Eye Candy!
Yes folks, Dalton is my 6 year old and today he inadvertently inspired this sketch. He loves to watch Cartoon Network in the mornings. I typically squash this as I don’t think kids need that much television and mornings are our time to chat and get ready for the day.
Today was different. Dalton decided to wake up at 6:15 this morning. Now, this is very atypical as I have to wake him generally about 8am. Not only that, 6:15 is “my time”. It’s right smack dab in the middle of when I’m taking my 45 mins to me to become a rational sane individual. No talking out loud, no having to look human, just time with me. But today Dalton was up and I wasn’t ready so Cartoon Network won.
This sketch was inspired by a commercial! A very cool commercial that had my favorite cartoon character on it advertising her show, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. She’s a droll nasty little girl, that Mandy. She’s also dry witted and the cartoon is not a children’s show. Thank goodness Dalton hasn’t a clue yet how adult this cartoon really is….
So, thanks little man and thanks Mandy!
Hope you enjoy.
This one was inspired by forgiveness… how sweet, how divine, how joyful, how lovely to live in forgiveness. To that person, thanks for a lifetime of inspiration! *wink* You know who you are!
How about a romantic layout sketch? Inspired by the love songs playing on the radio this morning.
Days like today bring a lot to the tips of my nerve endings. I’m so indebted to anyone who has served in our Armed Forces to keep this amazing country of ours free. To all of you who have served, you have my support, my gratitude, my admiration and my respect. Thank you.
To that, I offer you a sketch meant to be a memorial page. Not that the person you highlight with this sketch should have passed on, but let this be a real testimony to how much he or she means to you. Hope you enjoy.
As today is Sunday, I’m resting and not creating today. It’s been a long weekend already!
Hope you enjoy today’s sketch. It’s an older one but one of my favorites!
No, I actually wasn’t listening to them today but rather that’s what inspired this sketch - feeling very cramped in my house today. (Don’t know why - it’s no more crowded today than any other!) I think I just need a break - might be a good day for a road trip to the beach!
So here ya go! Enjoy!
