The Girls

Hi there! It's no secret I LOVE to use sketches when I'm making my layouts. One of my favorite places to get my scrapbooking inspiration is Sketchy Thursdays, the DT is always amazing and the sketches are easy to make your own. So I created this page for the Sketchy Thursdays November guest designer search. I just got the new Random Collection by Crate Paper from the Paper Issues Etsy shop...LOVE this collection! The designs went perfectly with this sketch! 

The rules for this challenge was to create a page using the sketch (below) with at least 5 leaves and to make a thankful list. 

I found this sweet picture of my sisters and I (that's me in the pink).When we were growing up we were always called "the Girls". Everywhere we went people would say 'the girls are here!'..it was never by our names..just the girls!..lol

I thought this big flower was so pretty and the leaves fit with the challenge. :)

I cut the 'Girls' title from the Gypsy Font cartridge on my Cricut.

the sketch:

Here's my card, I'm very happy with the way it came out, hope you like it!

I really wanted to make something elegant since we are celebrating something Royal. It's a little bit different from my usually style, but I LOVE how pretty it came out! I wanted lots of pearls and swirls..and adding the shear ribbon on the veil was the perfect touch! Now I just have to save this for a special wedding.

You Brighten Up My Day

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's so warm and sunny today! I'm in shorts and a tank and lil Miss Natalie is in a cute springtime outfit. :) So since spring is in the air, I pulled out these cute colorful papers. I decided to enter this card in a few different challenges: the first is for BBTB2-to use the doulble heart from the Wedding cart.. The second is Pile it On #6-to use flowers, the 3rd is Polka Doodles wk 6-to use hearts and flowers, and the last challenge is for Paper Cutz #28-to make a teen card. I know lots of challenges, what can I say..they're fun! So in this card I used the Wedding cart for the double heart, the bird is from Gypsy Font, and the heart flowers are from Sweethearts. TFL!
