Sketchy Thursdays – JAMSquared

Mommy’s Little Helper

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Jennifer

Today, is new sketch day at Sketchy Thursdays and I was immediately inspired. I loved the circles underneath and around the title. I was looking through my photos trying to decide if I wanted to blog about Jessica turning 22 months old (yes, that happened two days ago) and thought these three photos would work perfect with the sketch. The digi-kit I decided to scrap with is lovely neutral tones with just a hint of lime-green, which almost matched the color of Jessica’s shorts. I added some pink touches (the lime-green flairs in the kit actually say “me” so I just covered that with a pink heart) to go with the hearts on her shirt. I also added the pink embossed circle on the rose.

Journaling reads: “Jessica enjoys our new washer and dryer. Every time it sings its little song indicating the load is done, she points toward the laundry room and runs to go check it out. On this day, a simple “Do you want to put the diapers in the basket?” started her unloading the washer and filling up the basket so we could go hang the diapers in the sun to dry. August 10, 2011″

Sketchy Thursdays September Guest DT Challenge

You might recognize one of the photos in this layout, because I blogged about it here. However, I thought it perfectly fit the theme of reading for the Sketchy Thursdays September Guest Design Team Challenge. The sketch is pretty cute too. Initially, I had wanted to cut the holes out of a paper and put the different colored circles behind it, but I changed my mind.

A Few Lake LBJ Layouts

Posted on August 10, 2011 by Jennifer

Almost two weeks ago, we had the annual Dzubinski family trip. This year we went to Kingsland and stayed at the Antlers Inn, right on Lake LBJ. I’m a slacker when it comes to blogging about trips, because I take so many pictures and I have a hard time choosing which ones to blog. My sister Sarah already blogged days 1, 2, and 3 and my sister-in-law Julia did a single blog post. I’m going to go a bit untraditional in terms of blogging about the trip. I’m going to share a few layouts I’ve made of day 3 today. We’ll see when/if/how I blog about the rest of the trip.

The first layout uses the current Sketchy Thursdays sketch. Journaling reads: Sunday morning, we loaded up on a rented pontoon boat to kick back and relax. July 31, 2011

Digikits Used: Dani Moy Designs – Sail With Me
Fonts Used: Smarty Pants BTN, Weathered SF

This next layout is purely of the action on the boat. I thought I was doing great to get at least one photo of everyone on the boat, but then I realized I didn’t include a picture of my brother Jason. I looked through mine and my sister’s photos and apparently no pictures of my brother were taken when he was on the boat.

Fonts Used: my font isn’t funky enough

It was almost as if he was never on the boat, which brings us to the third layout. Journaling reads: Jason and then Jason and Julia were the first to try out the jet ski. Of course Jason was also the first to try out the tube pulled behind the boat. It was almost as if Jason was never on the boat.

I have plans to do a similar page for each section of the family. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.

Budding Artist and a Few Other Layouts

This afternoon, I laid down to take a nap, but after half an hour I decided the nap wasn’t happening and instead got scrappy while Jessica napped. I used the current Sketchy Thursdays sketch.
