It's back!!

Sketches in Thyme challenge blog is back and I'm so excited to share that I am now part of the creative time. This is the amazing sketch that was revealed today.

This challenged is sponsored by Scrappiness Designs and the prize will be a US$ 7 coupon for any purchase at the store.   

 

You have one month to play along, so hop on over and link up your layout. Here is my take on the sketch.

Jude

My great-nephew was born 13 weeks early when his mama's water broke.Only 2 lbs. 10 oz. at birth in November he is almost 5 lbs. now and ready to go home. I used the sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap, plus the following challenges:

Red Carpet Studio - use something new. I used a charm from a package I just received, opened a new package of blue pearls, and used the picture window die I received for Christmas.

Scrapping 4 Fun - challenge 8 - baby theme

Lessology - use a key and one upcycled item. I used the heart and key charm and upcycled the old ledger page as a patterned paper / journaling spot.

White Christmas Tree

I've always wanted a white Christmas tree and this summer found one at a yard sale. I love the look of the blue and silver decorations and wish I could have found blue lights with white wires, but the white lights worked fine also. The challenge at Scrap It Girl is to use a shining star and I couldn't stop at just one.

Pumpkins

Used the January 1st sketch from Sketch N Scrap for another layout of my grandson. Will eventually have an album for each of the six boys. Since these aren't my pictures or adventures I am going to have him add (or at least dictate) some journaling the next time he is over.

Splash

The challenge at Lasting Memories is to make a layout based on this sketch from 2 Broke Girls and add your favorite embellishment. I am working on an album for my grandson and love his excitement in this picture. Added a banner, some washi tape (no, I don't have way too many colors/designs) and some gold squares.

New Year

I never thought I would do project life pages, but then three things happened in the first two days of 2014 that I wanted to remember, but didn't feel each needed a separate layout. My grandson and his friend were together at midnight at the first New Year's powwow, Michigan State won the Rose Bowl (my oldest daughter is a big fan) and the cat that was last home the end of March (after being gone for nine months that time too) came home for two days. I am entering this in Stuck On U Sketches' challenge of 3 label strips on a project life page.

Sweetness

My niece has four grandsons and finally got a granddaughter. Since I have grandsons I enjoy being able to occasionally use girly goodies. I love this sketch from Artful Delight and at first was going to use twine as the circle and stars as the splatter. Then while "shopping" in my stash I found the star paper and lace. I added sequins as splatter and a silver baby buggy charm for sparkle.

I am also entering this in the Sketches in Thyme design team call.  So excited to see this challenge blog re-opening.
