Hi there!
I've got two layouts to share with you tonight. The first one was done for a challenge at Scrapbooking From the Inside Out. The theme for October is "Journey". This layout talks about my journey through school, figuring out what I want to be "when I grow up"! The title means "For Good?", as I'm still debating whether I will stay in the education field or not. It's based on a sketch by Valerie Salmon.
The second layout is based on sketch #316 at Scrapbook Challenges. The title means "Rothenburg Under the Rain". It's a quaint little village in Germany which we visited last December during our tour of Christmas Markets.
That's it for now! Hope you have a scrappy weekend!

We're already in the 6th month at Let's Get Sketchy and into my last month as DT over there! Here's this week's sketch. It's full of layers, and it's multi-pic... I love that!
Here's my take on it. It's about the Christmas markets in Dresden, Germany, that we visited last December. It was wonderful! An item off my bucket list, actually! I used the Basic Grey collection "Nordic Holiday", which has lots of fun Chrismassy papers.
Go check out the beautiful creations by the rest of the DT here, and be inspired to create your own for your chance to win our monthly prize!
Happy scrapping!

Well I don't know about you, but it sure has been hot here lately! To put myself in a wintery mood, I scrapped pictures of my trip to the Christmas markets in Germany last December. This page is about the market in Dresden. It's based on this sketch by Ashley Horton, which I rotated to fit my landscape pictures. I used Basic Grey's Nordic Holiday collection. I did the page for a chipboard challenge over at My Scraps and More. I inked a chipboard snowflake, then added Diamond Glaze and a rhinestone in the middle.
That's it for now! Hope you're keeping cool!

There's an online crop going on at Creative Scrappers today. The fun started yesterday with an early bird sketch challenge, then two more sketches were issued in the evening. I managed to complete the early bird and one of the other sketches.
Here was the early bird sketch.
And here is my layout. Believe it or not, this is my first page with hexagons! I'm a little late on the trends! lol! I wanted something colorful, so I went with Basic Grey's June Bug collection. I did some faux stitching around the hexagons and the mat. The are pictures of my brother and me through the years. The title means: Time Flies!
Here's sketch #2.
I did a page about the Christmas markets we visited last December in Germany and France, which was acutally something on my "bucket list"! I'm so glad I got to experience them! I used the Christmas line "I Believe" by My Mind's Eye for this one.
If you want to play along, you have until tonight, Saturday June 2nd at 11pm EST to upload your creations. There are lots of sponsors, so you never know, you might win something!
Happy scrapping!

Hi!
It's up! Challenge #61 at Scrap Your Crap, that is! This month's challenge is all about mixing the old with the new. We all have paper and product that we've been hoarding, don't we? Well the challenge is to use 50% of your oldest stash and 50% of your newest products!
Here's my layout. The title means "On the Christmas Market Trail". I used:
- new for me (not always the latest collections, but my latest purchases): papers (MME Lost & Found Christmas); felt gingerbread man (Favorite Findings); poinsettia (The Girls Paperie); Christmas brad (BoBunny); glitter cut border (Fancy Pants)
- old: gold bling (Forever in Time); alphas (Jenni Bowlin, American Crafts, Forever in Time)
- oldest (2005!): Christmas postage stamp stickers (Pebbles Inc.); Christmas ornament sticker (for the letter "o") (Jolee's)
So come on! Let's see yours! Don't forget to share it here so we can have a look and leave you some love!
Happy scrapping!
