It's a Small World After All

 Hello there!  It's the end of Sunday and I am here to share my newest page for this week's sketch challenge from Lasting Memories:

I used some elements from Kellybell Designs - Small World kit.

I printed everything out and fussy cut them all.

Here is the sketch from Lasting Memories:

Meet me at the Pumpkin Patch

 Happy Sunday!  It's so cold outside, I do not plan on setting one foot out there!  lol

I will be working at my desk in between loads of laundry.

Here is a page I was happy to work on because I was able to use up a lot of pictures from this one trip to the pumpkin patch.

I used up lots of goodies from an Echo Park kit I just got from the Scraproom Blog.

I added some twine and jute, along with some buttons.

Here is this week's sketch from Lasting Memories that got me motivated to use up all these pictures:

October 31st

 Sneaking in a post while I'm at work!  SSShhhh.....

I pulled out some older Basic Grey paper for my background.

The strips are all from the Halloween scrap bin. 

I also found these fun Halloween brads and banners too!

Here is the sketch that inspired me from Lasting Memories # 623:

I dont normally do 2 page layouts, so given the option, I chose to work on just the left side of the sketch.

Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins Please

Hello!  I have the house to myself tonight so I am spending it playing at my desk. 

Here is the first of at least 2 pages I hope to finish up tonight:

I went through the scraps to find just the right pieces.

I used a bunch of different colored inks to create my leaf patterned paper.

These fun pumpkins stickers I found at Dollar Tree.

I love that they are not traditional colors.

I also pulled a piece of burlap paper to create another "frame".

And finally, I added some charms with twine just to get them out of the stash...lol.

I was inspired by this month's sketch from Scrappy Friends and Rochelle:

It's a Sweet Life

 I think I'm stuck on the word "sweet" this weekend....lol.

I've been having fun playing with some Cocoa Vanilla collections that I "had to have" and then I'm afraid to use them.

This was made with mostly scraps that I have been hoarding from previous pages.

I used this week's sketch from Lasting Memories:

I am a huge fan of Allison Davis sketches too!

So Sweet

 I have so many kitty pictures nowadays.  They are the best snugglers!

I used lots of different pieces from Cocoa Vanilla collections.

The flower ephemera is on pop dots and I folded them up a bit for dimension.

I used this Tic Tac Toe board from Stacy at Scrappy Friends challenges this month:

I went across the middle:

enamel dots

a square

metal (brads)

I Love You

 Scrapping those scraps!  I used nothing but scraps for this adorable page of my daughter playing with some kitty kats.

I started out with the Scrappy Friends sketch from Rochelle:

I dug through all my scraps to find just the right colors.

I added an enamel square with ribbon and scattered a few paw print stickers.

I tried to add some older rub on stitching but I guess they were too old and just wouldn't work.

Oh well, I guess it just means I need to purge the old stuff again.
