41 years.......Challenge # 2

Hello again my scrappy friends!! I was so excited to have done another page this week!! I woke up early thinking about this page!
This was a sketch challenge at The (Paper) Trail Makers Challenge Blog!


I knew when I saw this sketch done by  Amarilys, that I wanted to participate in this challenge! I got in by the skin of my nose! 
Here is my take on the sketch!


Too Funny I called my Mother In Law to tell her about the page and she informed me it was 51 yrs!!! I knew that!!! I can't believe I made that mistake! 
The picture looked better in the morning light than now that is why I left the other photo up:) I left my title up at the top because I all ready entered it into the challenge with the wrong years on it! OOOPS !!!

I have to say that I absolutely Love how this page turned out!!

Batter Up........Sketch # 112

Hello my Scrappy Friends & Welcome all my New Scrappy Friends Thanks to MOMO!!
I know I haven't posted for a while now. It has been so hard finding the time to get in my scrap room because I watch my grandson who likes my undivided attention! I have to put my priorities in order and he will be grown up before I know it so I chose to put family before my own wants.. 
I mean who could resist this face:)

Ok enough about that! I was able to fit a challenge in this week for The Scrappiest.
Here is the sketch-

Here is my take on the sketch


This picture was taken with the flash on because with it off it was just too dark!
A friend of mine wanted me to make a scrapbook of her daughter and all her softball photos! This is the first page I have done for her!

My recipe was pretty simple. I used black walnut ink spray. This was the first time I have ever used this product! It really went with the paper from We R Memory Keepers "Designer Scrapbook Pack."
I also inked the edges with my ink pad from Pretty Color. I used paper from DCWV and cardstock.
I sewed around the border of the pattern paper using a zig zag stitch.  I used a brad and stamped a receipt, using the stamp from Jenni Bowlin. I thought this would be a place for the girls names and jersey #'s, I'll leave that to my friend to fill out. Last I used my Cricut cart  Disney's Hannah Montana for the font and Sports Mania cart.

Hope you like my page!
