Sketchalicious #7

This sketch is so me!!! Layers, layers, layers.....

Here's my interpretation... I used the November kit from Birds of a Feather Kit Co. for these cute holiday portraits of my first two sweethearts.... lots of distressing on the layers, added some Distress Ink and Stickles over that... then added some gorgeous Prima flowers and a Blossoming Vine... 

Here's a couple close-ups... I couldn't use the flash for any of my photos since the portraits themselves are on matte paper... there's lots of sparkle in this page that you can't see here.

I hope you enjoy this sketch as much as I did! Go have a look at the rest of the Design Team's beautiful pages at http://www.sketchalicious.blogspot.com/

Sketchalicious #6

Gotta love that blogger post-scheduler..... I tried to schedule this twice in the last two days but it kept posting right away! I finally gave up and decided to wait until I could actually just post it live.

At any rate, Sketchalicious reveals today, sketch #6!! This was such a fun sketch! I changed it up a little to accommodate my photos, but that's the beauty of sketches..... no rules :)
Here's what I ended up with.... I turned the sketch on it's side, and used BoBunny "Block Party" (I *heart* BoBunny!) which was totally perfect for these photos of my oldest daughter from July 4th.

I'm think I'm still going to add a little glitter to my title, it just seems to need it. Can one ever really have too much glitter?? I think not ;) These alpha-stickers are Prima's "Whispered Words" alphas; they have a velvety texture and I like the size of them. Not too big, not too tiny... I don't always like a big stand-out title.

Check out the Sketchalicious blog to see what the rest of the DT did with this sketch, you'll be glad you did! There's some uber-talented girls on the DT and you're sure to be inspired.

Come help us celebrate! There'll be something for everyone :) Don't forget, the first kit will be revealed on the 20th as well, you won't want to miss it!

Moving on.....

Many of you may know by now that Kit 'n Kaboodles, an amazing kit-club site that I've been a member of since 2007 as well as a design team member since 2009, is closing her doors. I am so sad!! I pretty well learned how to scrap there, and made many friends along the way. Lots of good memories, I will miss you KnK.

But, with this transition comes good things also, as I have decided that this is the time to open my own doors! I've started a new month-to-month kit club and online scrap-boutique, including message boards and a very cool NING gallery! I am so excited about this new venture, I hope you will come over and have a look-see :) The site is fully functional at this time and we're already registering new members to the forums and gallery.

The boutique is a work in progress, I am slowly getting my inventory established so you'll need to be a little patient with me there ;) What is it they say... Rome wasn't built in a day?? LOL

My first kit is set to debut at our grand opening on October 20th! We'll have some fun stuff going on in the forums too, so be sure to stop by.

See you soon :)

Flowers, flowers, who gets the flowers?

JEAN, that's who!!!


I used random.org to generate a random number from 1 to 40, and lucky number was 14! I wish I could copy the image of the generator.... but I can't seem to figure it out! If anyone knows how to do that would you please enlighten me? The right click does not have a copy option but I've seen it done so I know there's a way.
