10 Reasons that Mitchell Makes me Happy

I made this layout using numbers for Scrapbook Circle's and Sweet Peach Crop Shop's number challenges using a sketch I found at My Scraps and More!  It is now hanging on my refrigerator to let my teenager know that I do love him and see the good things about him even though I have "rules" and seem to get on his case from time to time!  I have quite the hodge podge of manufacturer's on this page including American Crafts, Autumn Leaves, Basic Grey, Collage Press, Kaiser, My Mind's Eye, October Afternoon and more!

Thanks for visiting! It makes my day!  Hope you are having a great day!

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 with Chihuly - Lilies etc.

I was pretty excited at how this turned out! I love the Autumn Leaves cutout (green, left rectangle). I had the flower--had been hoarding it--believe it was Martha Stewart. And, doesn't the embossed Core'dinations paper go well with this theme also--you might have to click on the picture to make it larger? The Flair worked out pretty well. The base was Crate Paper-Mia. Oh, and the rub-on for the year 2010 was American Crafts. Pretty simple, but I really like it! It's so much prettier in real life--the textures are important and you just can't see it here!

I created this for Pages in Time Thursday Sketch Week July 15.
