Jessica has recently really gotten into her little toy cars. I decided that the current SketchAbilities sketch would be perfect to document it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.
Today, I’m sharing two layouts with you. The first uses a Sketchy Thursdays sketch.

The second uses Scrapbooks Etc. sketch 15. Sketches are very inspiring to me and make putting together a layout go faster.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day. And make sure you come back tomorrow as I’ll be posting a video of Jessica at the pool.
My friend Adriana’s son recently graduated from high school. He will be starting at A&M in a few weeks and I am sending him off with something every college student needs. To go with the gift, I wanted to make a card that truly reflected his chosen college. That includes this vintage image of A&M from ClipArt Etc. I also included the state of Texas seal. I used Jen del Muro’s July Sketch for You to Try, but I turned the sketch on its side. On the inside I stamped “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” I’m really happy with how this card turned out.

I’ve been in a really scrappy mood lately and having a lot of fun. All of the layouts I’m sharing today are for my parent’s Canadian Rocky trip. They are actually in the order they will be in the final book.
The first one was done using this sketch from Scrapbookbytes.com.

Jasper Train Station
Digikits Used: Chugga Choo Choo – Connie Prince
The second layout was made using the PageMaps Punky Sprouts sketch. I decided to change it up a little by adding an additional photo.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
Digikits Used: Chugga Choo Choo and Zoom Zoom Zoom – Connie Prince
This third layout will be next to previous layout which journals about the lodge’s proximity to beautiful Lac Beauvert and my Dad’s photos of the lake really do make it look gorgeous. Don’t you love how he captured the reflection of the mountains in the still waters of the lake?
Lac Beauvert
Digikits Used: March of the Animals – The Scrapping Sisters
These last two layouts will be side by side in the book.
Pyramid Lake 1
Pyramid Lake 2
Digikits Used: Chugga Choo Choo – Connie Prince
Dad, don’t be concerned about the split photo. In the printed book, it will look fabulous since it will span the two pages.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.
Back in April, we traveled to Keller for my nephew Cameron’s 3rd birthday. I never got around to blogging about his birthday party or the trip the Keller Crawfish Krawl that evening, but here’s four scrappy layouts about the Keller Crawfish Krawl for your enjoyment.
Train Ride Layout 1
Train Ride Layout 2
Digikits Used: Chugga Choo Choo – Connie Prince
This next layout was made using the Scrapbookbytes.com July Sketch. I flipped the sketch.

Ice Cream Treats Layout
Digikits Used: Backyard BBQ – Connie Prince; Backyard BBQ Alpha Freebie – Designs by Shari; All Seasons Summer (ESS) – Starry Eyed Designs
The last layout was made using the Scrapbookbytes.com July Topsy Turvy Template. Basically, this means you have to use all the given components (in this case 6 circles, etc.), but you can move and resize plus add additional components. I’ve never done a challenge like this before, but it was a lot of fun.

And the great thing about digital scrapbooking? I can make one time, but print out twice so my sister can have a copy for her scrapbook.
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.
