Mondays are a great day to reveal a new sketch from Scrapbook Challenges and a layout to go with it.

Sketch # 162

Here is my take on it.

Also I wanted to share that Scrapbook Challenges is having another Blog Hop! I hope you join us you will definitely have loads of fun! You'll get a chance to win those fabulous prizes that Pamela and the rest of the Scrapbook Challenges DTs have prepared!

I also want to share some more layouts I created using Scrapbook Challenges sketches. I was dealing with family issues so I didn't post them.

Please link me if you create a layout using this week's sketch. I would love to see it.

So, it Monday and I have a new sketch and lo to share with you.

Here is the sketch created by DT Member Cathy

Here is my layout.

I know that I haven't been on lately but, that doesn't mean I haven't been working. I did some fun thing with the kids. Like these cups youngest DD & I made just for fun and a Card that my DD (same one) taught me. Yes, my kids are into teaching classes lately. they teach all different things to friends & family. they have sign up sheets and I help with with the materials - I been using up all of my old stuff. They love it.

Here is my DD's cup

Here is my cup

This is the card class she taught. I love the origami wings on the butterfly.

Sorry that the pictures are a bit blurry. it's been raining here for days and days. So, that mean a lot of indoor pictures.

If you decided to use the sketch to create a layout please link me I would love to see your creation.

I seem to have forgotten to stop by and post the rest of the layout from last week. Today I'll share both last Monday's and today with you.

Today's Sketch and layout.

I doodled and stamped the background to create the sidewalk drawing the kids made.

Title close up - the chipboard letters are from Target's dollar spot. The little chalk I made from paper. My DS wanted them on the page.

Last Monday's Sketch and layout.

The letter are American Crafts that my DH bought for me - I set him to get thickers and when he couldn't find them he thought these would be nice. So, not to hurt his feelings I use them. The little puffy letters I found the other day at the Dollar Tree.

This little bear is my DD love. So, instead of the bird I did the bear. I just happen to have in my stash some velvet paper and mulberry paper that made a cute bear.

If you create a layout using either one of these great sketches please be sure to link me to your creation.

Well, we had a wonderful weekend here. I wanted to stop by give you a little sneak peek of tomorrow's layout for Scrapbook Challenge DT work.

I hope you stop by to see the rest of the layout.

I wanted to share a mini album that my DD (who is 10yrs old) taught a small group of us (mostly family & friends). I wrote about this on a earlier post. DD was wanting to do and teach a project. I gave her a summer kit. I had from when I use to sell TLC products. I added a few little extras.

I have to say she did an amazing job teaching the little class. She taught a mini tag album.

Here is my version of the album. I hope to give her more opportunities to create and teach little classes.

I wanted to share this. I am not sure what to call it. We finally decided on Zeborse. Yes, for Zebra and Horse. My oldest DD took these pictures of a Horse? Zebra? Anyway, We went about 5 minutes away from our suburbian home to the country. And one of the farmers has this Zeborse on their property. The kids were amazed by this. My youngest DD was in love!! She LOVES zebras and horses - so this animal is perfection to her.
If you know what this is Horse or Zebra we would love to know.*** I did some googling and I found this site on Zorse ***
So maybe that's what is .

It's Monday - So that means I have a new layout for the sketch that Pamela of Scrapbook Challenges has created.

Here is the sketch

Here is my layout. Now, the little boy is my DS and the guy with him is a friend of our family. DH, DS and our friend had a guys day out at a local car show. I working on some older pictures lately. It's been fun remembering the kids when they were so little.

If you create a layout using this sketch please link me to your creation.

So awhile back my sister and I went to the Scrapbook Expo. My sister insisted we take a few classes. We took a class by The Paper Craft Station called "All Mixed Up". Well, like most of the classes at expos not enough time. I decided to finish it up at home and I add a lot more to my album than the instruction told us to do. I like adding lots of little things to my albums. Over all it was a fun class.

Here is the Sisters mini album I made.
