a sketchabilities layout!

I was wondering around looking for a sketch to use for my layout today and when I saw this one I knew exactly which pictures I was going to use! Here is the sketch:

and here is what I came up with:

Products used:

•  Bazzil Basics CS in Quicksand
• AC Margarita pp
• AC Thickers in Macaw
• MM tiny type
• Sew Easy floss
• Prima flowers
• Flora doodles by Petaloo
• Ranger stickles in fruit punch, lime green, yellow, and silver
• MS large and small butterfly punches



Going to try and get in another page or 2 today and tomorrow since school starts on Wednesday! YIKES :/

Topaz #3 how about a little EP?

This week's sketch was perfect for using some Echo Park! I have a TON of pictures of Rylee at the beach so I bought the Splash collection exclusively for them! Here is this week's sketch for the third installment of the Topaz club:

and here is my interpretation:

Products used:

• Bazzil cardstock
• EP Splash pp & stickers
• Ranger stickles in baby blue, yellow, fruit punch and diamond
• AC Slick Writers

Well that's all for now! I'm going to try and scrap a little bit more in the next few days since I start school on the 17th! Who knows how much I'll be able to do once it starts :-\ TTFN!

I'm on a ROLL!

I've been doing pretty good lately about getting a layout done everyday! *pats self on back* haha This challenge must really be motivating me! :) Well today is Wednesday and as you should know by now that means MOJO over at SS! Here is the sketch for the second installment of the Topaz club:

and this is what I came up with:

Products used:

• Bazzil Cardstock
• Fancy Pants Beach Babe pp
• AC Thickers in Macaw & Jewelry Box
• Ranger Stickles in Baby blue and diamond
• Sew Easy
• Me & my big ideas chipboard stickers
• Recollections bling and shape stickers

I wasn't thrilled about this one when I finished it...I felt like it was too plain! I have a tendency to over embellish sometimes and I think it's hard when I don't! haha If that makes sense. Anyway I like it, sometimes simple is good. I think the pictures show a lot with Rylee feeling the sand for the first time and wading in the ocean for the first time as well! :) Welp that's all for now folks, hopefully I'll be back again tomorrow! I've got to get lots of scrappy time in before school starts in 2 weeks :( TTFN <3

3 projects down 97 to go!

Well this challenge I've placed myself on is going strong. I've created 3 layouts over the past few days and so far so good! And honestly I haven't had any urge to buy anything...I even kept myself from going to Hobby Lobby the other day! :) Anyway I did the most recent sketch from Bird is the Word...I didn't do the word challenge but instead just used the sketch for inspiration. Here it is:

and here is my layout:

Products used:

• Echo Park Victoria Gardens collection
• AC Thickers in LAX
• Sassafras foldies
• EK Success flourish punch
• Journal genie
• Ranger Stickles in fruit punch, lime green and yellow.
• MS bling

I love how this turned out! I had a feeling once I started working with these papers that it would come out great! Echo Park is amazing! Well I can't think of anything else to say so I'm gonna end here! I'll be back with more soon :)
