Forgiven?

I tell you... I know I'm a bad sketch momma... I've been so under the weather and I'm looking forward to some sunshine if you know what I mean. Nothing but grey skies in this old body of mine but I'm looking forward to getting up off my couch (aka bed) for more than a few hours a day. It's getting there. New meds and a couple good friends and I'm beginning to feel like my old self again. Bear with me while I rejoin the land of the living slowly.

Something about a turtle, a rabbit and slow and steady winning the race... Good thing I resemble that turtle!

Seriously now, I have actually sketched a few, AND managed to get them into PSE. At the request of my good friends at Divaliscious, I present you with two new sketches.





Now that you have them, show me some love! Use them, post them, leave me links. I'm needing some inspiration to figure out where my mojo went, so I need you to share your stuff people!

Hope they're fun!

And just for good measure

How about a few sketches. I do hope this help you manage to get your holiday layouts scrapped in good order!

Don't forget, I'd love to see your layouts, cards or projects made from any of my sketches. Just link me in the comments!

How about a few cards?

In honor of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, how about a few card sketches.

Ad inspired...

As I mentioned yesterday (I think it was yesterday) at my doctor's visit I had a chance to peruse several magazines and MAN did I get a great eye full! Some great sketches were ad inspired. The one earlier today was (well, sort of) and here's another.

November is here!

I love November. I'm not sure why, and it's surely not my favorite month or season, but November makes me happy. I suppose it's because my mom's birthday was in November and Daddy always made a big deal out of celebrating her day. My best friend's birthday is in November and one of my other's (yes I have three best friends) mom had a birthday in November. Crazy, right!

So, in honor of birthdays, when tons of pictures are taken, and you know how hard it is to choose just one, I bring you this multi-photo two page layout.

The left side and part of the right calls for a single photo printed on vellum for a dreamy effect. Another way to do that might be to print the photo on regular photo paper, but cover parts of it in vellum to call attention to just part of the photo. Then again, just print the photo on photo paper and enjoy how ever you choose! To do this, you'd most certainly have to have a 12 x 12 printer. If you're like me, with only an 8.5 x 11 edge to edge, you can get REALLY creative with it and print in pieces.

The right side calls for a number of smaller photos and would be equally as fun with some photos and some accents. Again, your choice. I'd LOVE to see you examples! Leave me some blog love and link me to your layouts won't you?

Happy Halloween!

Here's a sketch for today with more coming. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and spent a lot of time reading through several magazines and got TONS of inspirations.

Happy Spooking!

Another sketch for October

I can so see wonderful Halloween layouts from this and hope you can too! We'll be heading out tomorrow night after dinner with friends for Trick or Treating. Hopefully I'll get some fun photos of all the "Ghosties and Ghoulies" out tomorrow night.
