Great New Sketch

There is a great new sketch today over at Sassy Lil' Sketches.  Cherie always has some great sketches and this one is no different.

And here is my take.

Bo Bunny Paradise Paper, Platinum Stickles, Martha Stewart Border Punch, American Crafts Thickers.

These are more photos from our trip to Oceanside this summer.  I have been loving the Bo Bunny papers for this trip.  Just about every night we walked the beach at sunset.  Such great family time.

Remember, we have two more generous sponsors for September!

Our paper prize is a Cricut cartridge from Memory Miser.*

Our digital sponsor is a $10 gift certificate to Digital Delights by Louby Loo.*

I had a great time playing with the digital images from digital delights.  I made this birthday card for one of Ainsley's friends.

Digital Delights image, colored pencils and mineral spirits.

You really should be sure and check out both of our awesome sponsors!

Remember, to be eligible for the September prizes your layout needs to be uploaded via Mr. Linky below by October 5th at 11:59 PM EST.

*The paper prize is open to US residents only. The digital prize is open to all US & International residents.

Another busy, busy day here!  I hope to be back later to post some more goodies.

Hugs.

Turning Templates into....

If you have been following my blog for a while you know how much I love using sketches.  You probably also have noticed that I am not very digi oriented.  As a matter of fact, I stink at digi layouts.  But there are so many great products out there that use digi, I can't resist giving it a go every now and then.

Pammy challenged the designers for Ideas For Scrapbookers to use a gorgeous template she designed.  You can find the template here.  Well, being that I don't do digi I turned the template into a sketch and went to work.  It was quite a challenge because our Northern California beaches aren't your typical sunshiney (is that a word) beaches.  Papers and embellishments are hard to come by.  But I tried.....

Ainsley loves going to the beach, she doesn't care that it is cold, that we are all wearing our sweatshirts and wrapped in blankets.  She is there to have fun in the sand (note I don't say sun, because frankly, there isn't any most days.  lol) and surf.  She loves the ocean and you can hear her screams of delight for miles.  Oh to be a kid again.

Well, be sure to hop over to Ideas for Scrapbookers and check out the other designers takes on Pam's wonderful design.

Hugs.
