Last sketch for August


So I will be honest I threw this one together! BUT I do like how it turned out. Thanks Sassy Lil Sketches for the easy breezy sketch! My life has gotten crazy, with good stuff yes, but crazy! I was accepted to take the intermediate Copic Certification class (which to me is a big deal) I have been asked to teach a doodling class at a community college and Locally teach at a monthly kit club. To top it off I think I have been offered a position site unseen at two local Micheal’s stores if I want it. I am VERY unsure on the Micheal’s so i am not jumping in yet but it is always amazing the rain/pour effect of life!

The girls are GREAT! School is great dance started this week and that is great, life is just so good. This is where John and I always look at each other and say hope we are not being so blessed and being prepped for a big downward swing. We feel beyond loved these days.

John and I are both getting lots of riding in yesterday I rode 20 miles with him and he rode 40 more. Monday I rode 40 by myself Woo Hoo me!

ICopic

So I found this great new site to feed my Copic passion. Icopic is an online supplier of all things Copic. And can I just say that with one order they have a customer for life! Spectacular service, great range of product including the latest and greatest! So they are running monthly challenges and I thought what a fun way to keep practicing and getting some projects done so here is my card from the second challenge.


The inspiration was primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and cupcakes. I think I got it (he he) had a lot of fun with this! and thanks to a new friend Heather for the way cool Hambly paper that is silk screened with the yellow cupcakes. Here you can see the actual challenge.

We are in countdown mode to skill on the family front. As well as zoning in on Sara’s B-Day so lots of crazy errand running, the girls are excited!

Hugs all!

Thunder and sketches

So I am just plugging away! I am loving the sketches from Sassy Lil Sketches, and this one was so quick and easy! i didn’t really make any changes and had photos that dropped right in. i love it when a page comes together lickity split. this one only took about 30 min. and that is with coloring a flower, and putting thread in all the button holes!

The girls had a good week too, be watching for a layout with them in grass hula skirts they made themselves! The weather is beyond wacky right now. flood warnings, thunder storms, on and off down pours, humidity that hits you when you walk out the door like a ton of bricks. BUT we are having a great summer. The girls each earned 2 free books one each from Barnes and Noble and Borders. Each store had summer reading challenges going on and they picked out new books to keep today. Of course Sara has already finished one, but then is that a surprise? Hmm…NO!

Hope all of the family and friends are well sending hugs your way!

New layout and tody

Thought I would share a recent layout. This is inspired from a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches a fun site I just recently lucky enough to find.
The photos are from last fall so I better get a crakin! I got some catch up to do or I will officially be a year behind He He.


Not much news really getting stuff done. We did a tripo to the library and Sara came directly home and finished one of her three books. Yes a chapter book, I think I know someone like her! Hmmmm….MATT!

Hugs to all!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Well here is my third layout using Scrap This Kit’s beautiful March kit. I have once again linked the photo if you want to see more. Today at Get It Scrapped I am challenging my scrappy buddys to post a layout that has them going “green” however they may interpret that. If they post today they are entered for a chance to win a prize. Want to know what it is? Huh? Huh? Do ya?


Oh O.K. I give! If you post today and then link your blog post or layout to the forums here at GIS, you are entered in a drawing for a $20.00 gift card to Scrap This Kit. Nice!

So go green and tell me about it. I will be watching!

Happy St. Patrick’s!
