A fish!!!!

This was a great palette and a awesome sketch by Christine!!!!  I love this colours although they were a bit of a challenge but that is what makes this so fun.  I must say it has been tough battling the busy season to find time to scrap, but I am very happy with the way this turned out!!! Despite the fact I had to rush to get it done....sorry girls at Color-Me-Scrappy be sure to check out all the teams awesome work those gals have some super cute ideas!

Father...

I had a lot of fun with this page, I rarely get photos of my Dad and this one is a keeper!!!  He gets in front of my camera as often as I do!!!!  I kept this page simple and clean, the way my Dad is really!  he always looks so well put together.  My Dad means the world to me and he has always and will always have a very special place in my heart.  We both lead very busy lives and have little time for each other, thanks to email we still keep in touch as often as we can and talk on the phone when the opportunity comes.  Some may think that is sad but we are okay with it, and it works for us for now!  I don't need to see him all the time to know that he loves me as much as I love him.  Life has been crazy and through it all, he has always been there to provide me sound wisdom and encouragement.  He seems to always know the right thing to say even if it doesn't seem like the right thing to hear at that time.  Fathers are so special when they are GREAT and I am very fortunate to have an AMAZING one. I love you Dad...

This page was created for Challenge #16 with Color-Me-Scrappy be sure to click on over and check out the other DT's work, impressive talent as always!!!!

This page features a hybrid technique, after I completed the traditional layout with My Mind's Eye paper, Jilly Bean Soup Letters and Close to My Heart studs, I took a photo of it.  i imported the photo into my Creative Memories Stoybook software and added my journalling.

Cousins

I used My Minds Eye paper, some of the cute twine flowers that we made at the retreat! I love this paper even though it was so busy I thought it was really fun!  I added some buttons and other flowers to bring it all together.  The sepia photos seemed a perfect fit for this page! The boys don't really like getting their picture taken that much!  I will have to get little Kyla used to me taking photos so she isn't so shy!!!!

Big REVEAL!

Hello, and welcome to a big day! Today is the first reveal of a the new team from Sketchabilitites, that I am honoured to be a part of !!!!  This DT is very exciting for me, I love these sketches and the team is a very talented group of ladies!!!!   This day also landed on the reveal day for Color-Me-Scrappy, I have been a port of that team so several months and am excited to continue on with them...So I made a different page for the CMS colour challenge however since the launch was on the same day I used the Sketchabilities sketch to do guide my layout!  So all this fun adds up to TWO layouts in this post and TWO places to go for more inspiration at the above links!!!! Have fun and enjoy all that hard work of both dedicated DT's.  OHHH Be sure to check out the sites and play along with their challenges for the fun prizes or just for fun!
