Lil Chubby Chops

Yes - that's me back in about 1971 with the chubby baby arms and legs!! I used Sketch this #73 for this LO:

I used: Crate Paper, Bazzill cardstock, Sizzlets Night & Day die-cut alphabet, Prima lace and ribbon, Prima flower, Stickles, vintage buttons, white Signo pen.

Sketch this #40

It's ages since I've done a Sketch this LO with being so busy in the run-up to Christmas making 8 x 8 albums but I finally got around to a LO today. This one's for sketch #40:

I used: Deja Views Sharon Ann papers and vellum, Brenda Walton stamp (from maison frames set), red chalk ink, Marvy pen, unknown gingham ribbon, Papermania fabric flower, Papermania brads, Cuttlebug tag.

The LO!

Well, I scanned the LO but not sure you can see it properly. The colours don't look quite right -I think because of the lumpiness on the RHS.

This was done using the Sketch this #23 sketch.

Materials used: DCwv cardstock (from the Spring Stack), KI Memories flowery paper, Scenic Route paper, SEI alphabet stickers (basketball), a Deja Views vellum sticker, various Prima flowers, beads and some embossing with my Shapeboss.

Valentino?!

Well, having a busy day today but have completed one Lo so far. Have also taken Jamie to get on the coach for his trip to the zoo, taken Matthew to a birthday party, done some shopping for my neighbour and picked Matthew up from the party. Just got to go and pick up jamie in 2.5 hours. Also Jess laughed properly for the first time today and I'm desperate to hear her do it again - it was toooo cute! Anyway here's the LO using the #22 sketch from Sketch This :

This is Jamie posing with his red rose he bought for his "girlfriend" last year.

I used DCWV cardstock and paper (from the Spring Stack). The title was done using some old Doodlebug stickers and I used my wonderful white Signo pen to draw the outline.

Another Sketch This LO

Loving the Sketch This LOs at the moment as it means I don't have to use all my spare time planning my LOs and can get on with them instead! Maybe when Jess is more into a routine I'll find scrapping a bit easier?!? Anyway here's my LO for Sketch This #21 :

I used Crate Papers Twirl collection (my first time of using Crate Papers) for this one. the title was done with Chatterbox stickers and then just added some Primas. the photo is Jess at 18 days old.

Hoping to do some more LOs tomorrow - Jamie is out all day visiting Paignton Zoo with his Beaver and Scout group and Matthew is off to a birthday party in the morning and over lunchtime. As long as Jess is OK I shall be sat at my desk happily moving stash around!

Sketch this #19

WOW!!! Another LO - my stash doesn't know what's hit it!LOL!

This one was done using the sketch this #19 sketch. Used Chatterbox papers which have been left unused and unloved in my stash for so long, Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, Autumn Leaves pogs, white brads and a bit of sewing seeing as my machine decided to work today!!!

Another LO!!!

On a roll now!!! This LO was done using sketch #18 on the sketch this blog. Used KI Memories papers, a MAMBI monogram, Around the Block brad (dinosaur), some odd brads and ribbon.

Totally loving these sketches and will be starting my next one later (children permitting!)

Sketch this

I only came across Janelle Richmond's Sketch this blog the other day and have been feeling really inspired. I tend to check out blogs of all the UK girls I know and tend to shy away from most inspiration-type and all the US and celeb blogs but glad I found this one.

Today while Jess slept (YAY!!!) I scrapped this LO using sketch #18 and really enjoyed myself. Can now see me going back through all the past sketches and giving them a go along with checking out the card sketches too.

Used DCWV cardstock, K&CO McKenna papers, MAMBI alpha stickers, a Banana Frog stamp and a few Primas.
