Creative Scrappers sketch 254

I used the sketch for the left side of my double. I love how this double layout turned out and loved scrapping about my mamacitas, a special group of friends. 

A little behind on posting

I'm a little behind on posting. Been a busy month with fall activities and Thanksgiving. I'm almost out of photos to scrap before I do another order but I gave myself a challenge. No picture order until I start and finish scrapping last year's school pics for the boys. Way to get me motivated! Helped to have a new collection to dig into, Echo Park`s Paper & Glue.

First of all my Scrapbook Steals Citrine 4 challenge:

Some of the last of the pics I have printed were this group for the winter Olympics. I have been skipping over them for months but they actually worked well with this sketch, once I flipped it and filled in the empty space with pictures to.

When I first saw this sketch I was a bit baffled but then saw all the scraps I had from one sheet of paper I had used on Blake`s preschool layout, and they were perfect for this sketch. So here is my layout of Reece`s first day of preschool, age 3.

The layout on the left is from the sketch, then I just used scraps to piece together the other side of the double.

One more to go then on to Blake`s grade 1 year!

Sneaking one last one in for the day before making my tea and watching the Voice (my second happy place). You'd think I'd had enough of scrapping after 19 + 2 hours of scrapping time this weekend but nope had to get my entry in for Scrapbook Steals Citrine #3 challenge which ends tonight. I am plum out of 6x4's or 5x7's to scrap for what I'm scrapping now, 2010, so looked in the box of randomly printed pics (a very small pile) and found this one of Blake. He's dressed to go to Western Day at Kindergarten. (I know I goofed on the layout). Had some fun with my Silhouette Cameo on this one.

UYOP weekend

Scrapbookin' Adventures held their 7th Annual Anniversary Event with a 20 page UYOP (use your own product) class. The class ran over 2 days and you ended up with 23 layouts (as 2 were doubles). Before the class kit instructions were emailed out and you put together the kits using, well your own product. Gives a chance to use some of your stash up and get lots of layouts done in a short amount of time. These weekends are always filled with lots of fun, laughter, great stories, candy, (wine), and great inspiration. I realize the weekend just ended but I finished up the last details of my layouts last night and am happy to have them all done. So here we go!:
