And now for My take....


For this layout I used photos from our swim team banquet.  Lots of photos with the coaches.  And a great way to use up scraps.

I used some of the super cute digital stamps from The Cutting Cafe, Augusts Sassy Lil' Sketches digi sponsor for this one.  I am trying to expand my boundaries by dabbling in digi.



We're looking forward to seeing what you create with one or both of these sketches, so make sure you link your project back to the Sassy Lil Sketches blog. Don't forget to check the other Sassies' blogs and leave a comment for a chance at one of the "hidden treasure" prizes! 


And finally.....one of my followers will win this black and white kit from me at the end of the blog hop.  So, if you aren't already a follower be sure to click that little button on the right to become one.  And be sure to leave a comment just in case I am one of the hidden treasures.






Hugs.


Nancy
