My Sister, My Friend



Here is my twin sister in various moods at the Heard Museum in Phoenix earlier this summer.  I was really excited this morning when I found this sketch by Sketchy Thursdays and the combined "friend" challenge at Scrapfit!!!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get lucky this week! I play these two challenges all of the time and haven't won a prize on either challenge--now, mind you, I have been very lucky all over blog-land winning prizes, and I am not complaining!  I just love the prizes being offered this time! :-)  My friend Stacy wanted tickets on a layout, too. They represent "ticket to fun" to me.  I've won many of Stacy's challenges, so I play for fun (though I still win a lot) there and hope more of you will play along so she can send prizes out to as many different people as possible!!! She's such a gracious and friendly host!  I did a little spritzing on the layout which is hard to see in the photo but looks pretty good in person!  I'd been hoarding the multi-colored clouds for a while as the company who makes them is no longer in business to my understanding.

Thanks so much for visiting! I won't be posting much in the next few days!!!!

Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens (many more to come, too)




My son says this layout is too busy, and that may be true; but that is just how the Desert Botanical Gardens seemed to me at times. There were so many plants to see and they had a wild, untamed quality about them even though they were carefully planted and maintained by the garden's staff.  I got the sketch from Inspired Blueprints, which is new to me.  And, I'm entering it into Simon Says Stamp & Show Travels!

Thank you so much for visiting! It makes my day to know that you stopped by to say hi!

St. Joseph, Michigan-Miscellaneous Sculptures




I made this using a sketch from Sketches for All and added ribbbon to it for them also.  It also fits The Scrap Room's challenge this week to use scallops.  American Crafts had a challenge also to use 3 patterned papers--so I found some of their paper that I thought matched up pretty well.  This is definitely not my favorite layout, but it's finished!
