Today I have photos of my daughter from last christmas eve.  That is when we open presents from each other.  We have the stockings and "santa presents" on christmas morning.

Here are a few of the details from my page.

I used the challenge from Kitchen Keepsake to use a time or date for the title of my page.  

The christmas LO from XOXO scrapbooking was the inspiration for my LO design.  

Southern Girls Challenge also has a christmas page challenge right now.

SBC Sizzlin Summer Sketches

Welcome to our 3rd annual Sizzlin Summer of Sketches here at Scrapbook Challenges.

For those that are new to SBC SS works like this…

Each Monday in August we post our regular Sketch + 2 challenges. Then from Tuesday – Friday we post a bonus sketch and some extra inspiration from the Sketch Crew. In addition to our regular sketches and challenges, any layout you complete with a Sizzlin Summer sketch can also be linked up for an entry into our monthly prize drawing! So without further ado…

I made a page about last easter when we colored easter eggs.

I used lots of spray mist on my background paper.  I used a transparency and some stickers for the title.

Here the sketch that it is based.

I am joining Pixels and Paper DT

I am so excited to be joining the design team at  Pixels and Paper Challenge blog.  Pixels and Paper is an international challenge blog dedicated equally to those who like to work with paper and those who prefer pixels (and any who dabble in both). Each month there is a challenge inspiration from a source of paper and pixels - photography!

The August inspiration photo is below.

The part of the photo that I was drawn to was the colors of the wool on the sheep.  I wanted to use bright pastels in my LO.  I used the paper with the circles that had the progression of colors and matched the butterflies with the same colors.  This page is our family easter egg coloring.  It is a tradition to color eggs at my moms' with as many of the grandchildren as can attend.

I like to use pop dots to make some of my embellishments raised off the page.  The butterflies appear to fly upward on my page.  I used transparency hexagons as my title.  They tell how the kids enjoy easter egg coloring and look forward to what the Easter Bunny will bring at Grandma's house on Easter morning.  The colors were a perfect match with the butterflies and the journaling box. 

  

The smiles on the faces of the kids show what a good time everyone was having.

Smile and Let's sail Home

The Monday sketch #404 for SBC was a double pager. I used photos from our April trip to the Skinny Pancake.  These photos are of my daughter as she waits for her food.  She would not look at the camera so I just kept taking photos until she did.

This second layout if for SID Tuesday sketch.  SInce it is the fifth Tuesday of the month it is choose a any old sketch that was you want to scrap.  So I chose this single page sketch.

     

 Then I used some squares that I had for my background.  The 2 photos are from my kids ferry ride home last summer after they went to Boston for Catholic heart Work Camp.  They had a great time and my daughter went back again this summer.

So if you need a sketch to help you get motivated go to these scrapbook blogs for motivation.

SBC (Scrapbook Challenges) is open until the end of the month so you have a couple more days.

SID (Stick it Down) is open until next Monday so you have a week to complete this one.

SID Tuesday Challenge

Ok, one more post for today.  It is Tuesday Sketch Challenge at SID.  The sketch is for the double page DT members this week.

I had my photos from last summers's VBS (Vacation Bible School) week that I used for my LO.  My mom came one day and acted out the part of QUeen Esther fro me in my Bible Adventures group.  We had fun that day and all the other days.  I also used photos from the kickball game that my son and some of the older boys organized during snack time.
