{sketch 235}

Happy Easter to you! Head over to Pencil Lines to check out the newest sketch and everyone's take. Here's mine:

I used Kaisercraft patterned papers for this layout, along with a few of their rub ons as well.

I threw in some tags and a button from the new October Afternoon 5 and Dime line ;)

Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to fix a light supper for Keira and clean up the kitchen. Adam and I are still stuffed from Easter dinner! ;)

I'm so excited to be trying out for the Kaisercraft design team! These were some of the first products I purchased when I started scrapbooking in 2006. I have always loved their papers, and the new 2011 collections are no exception...I especially love 'Class of 87', I think because it allows me to step out of the pink and purple girliness I am so used to scrapping :)

I found out about the call a few weeks ago and headed to my local scrapbook store to pick up everything they had in stock that I didn't already have. I hope you enjoy taking a look at my projects!

I snapped this photo of Keira a few nights ago out on the deck, and I just love the look of joy on her face. This quote is one of my favorites too :)

I just love the 'Report Cards'...especially the crossword puzzle ones - I'll take about 50 of those :)

This is a little tag bundle made with the 'Class of 87' line.

I absolutely love this glitter butterfly paper from the Bubblegum Hills line.

...and these butterfly embellishments are too cool!

Such a bright and fun page - my favorite kind!

I used the other butterfly out of the package to make a quick birthday card.

I bought Keira her very own "pack-pack", or Backpack desk (from Dora). She is now pretty obsessed with it and carries it around everywhere :)

My next project is a menu board that I plan on hanging in my kitchen, using Nan's Favourites collection.

This project was truly up my alley, as I am pretty obsessed with planning our menus out each week ;) Makes for less stress when you get home from work in the evenings.

Here I've used Nan's Favourites again to create a card and treat sack ensemble.

I can imagine my grandma would really enjoy this card, as it reminds me a little of a quilt ;)

A card made with more Nan's...along with some of the Timeless collection.

And I am saving my favorite for last ;) A little minibook created with Class of 87.

I really had so much fun making these projects and I wish the best of luck to everyone who applies!

Good Saturday evening to everyone...I'm back tonight to share my remaining two Elle's Studio layouts for this month.

This first page here cracks me up.

We had a few jokers come to our wedding wearing these gold coats they bought at the Salvation Army.....needless to say after Adam got a few beers in him he had to try one on ;)

This page is a scraplift of Jennifer Gallacher's Peek-a-book page over at TwoPeas....I had the same paper and thought it would be a good way to scrap these photos!

I hope you and yours have a very happy and blessed Easter Sunday tomorrow!

 We already attended an Easter egg hunt a few weeks back.

And I'm sure there's waaay more candy to come tomorrow...haha. :)

The April inspiration gallery at Elle's Studio is live today! Really, go check it out. Everyone did such a fabulous job this month!

Definitely my favorite project that I did this month was the altered 7Gypsies tray. It seems like I picked this up at Archiver's forever ago, and the new Handmade Layers collection was the perfect way to embellish it up!

I also used some die cuts from the new Pink Paislee Daily Junque line...they seemed to coordinate so well.

I haven't decided where in my house I'm going to put it yet....somewhere where I can enjoy it I suppose :)

Have a great weekend, I'll be back soon to share my other projects.
