Peek a Boo ... I Swish you

Today at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun sketch:


And this layout I did of Joseph when we were doing a "football photo shoot" and he was messing with me hiding behind the football.  Note that the SWISH is referring to the NIKE swish symbol....

2 Cards using a sketch and Doilies

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is Doilies... now since they're really not my style, and I don't have any in my stash, i decided to find product lines that had them already as a design in their papers.  I found 2 that I loved, so I made 2 cards....
We also had to use this sketch:

Here are my cards:

iLove my iPad....

This week at FROSTED DESIGNS our challenge is "travel"....

So I didn't want to do a typical "vacation" photo....so I pulled this photo of Joseph in the back seat during our 6 hour drive home from Carlsbad CA last summer.....  passing the time playing on my iPad....




Also last week at Memorable Seasons, I issued a challenge and this was my sample layout using this inspiration I found in Pinterest:

I loved the frame wall and the general shape of the room..
So I create this  layout about our favorite hummingbird that came back this spring...

US...(yes, I'm in a photo)

This week at SKETCHES IN THYME we have this fun sketch with a tilt...


i had a pack of pictures out from when Joseph was 1 year old, so this photo with me in it actually worked very nicely for this layout...
