Celebrate Julie

This is for Frosted Design's Celebrate Life Challenge. I made it from a sketch byKim Sparks that she posted on the Practical Scrapper's one year anniversary crop.  I used some of the goodies that I got from ArtfulDelight!

Saugatuck Dunes, Michigan

I WISH YOU COULD SEE THIS IN PERSON! IT'S SO MUCH PRETTIER-THE TEXTURE OF THE PAPERS ARE AMAZING! Plus the jewels and the glitter on the circle/sun rays make it pretty cute!

I created this for Sketchy Thursday's challenge. I used Core-dinations, GCD Studios and Lily Bee Design from a Scrapbooking from the Inside Out kit I won earlier called Courage; American Crafts, CTMH rub-on; letters from KaiserCraft; Fiskars threading water border punch; jewels from TPC Studio.


I was also inspired by this pendant from Cathy Walter's Etsy Shop:

for EtsyInspired and Practical Scrappers.

Six Flags in 2007

I created this using Sketches in Thyme challenge 9. I flipped the sketch and only used one photo! I entered it at Practical Scrappers anniversary celebration and will also enter it Week 2- What Shape are you in Challenge???? to use circles at the  The Paper Trail(this challenge is just for fun! I don't even want to think about how many circles are on this page! From the holes in the border strip, to the dots on flower-shaped diecut, to the buttons, to the dots on the Jillibean journaling block there are quite a few!

Grand Rapids -- Meijer Gardens --yes I took a lot of photos!

I made this layout for a recent Sketchy Thursday's challenge!  I made it really sparkle-y for Practical Scrappers!

Letters are Prima; brads unknown; paper DCWV; journaling Making Memories; strips are from stash; I added a TPC Studio rub-on bird and 3 of their jewels to the journaling card.
