Sketch-A-Day and UYS

Here's a couple of layouts I created for the Sketch-A-Day Club and the Use Your Stash blog. This first layout is of Kyle ripping and playing with his niece and nephew. He was trying to tire them out but I think they tired him out instead. He was hot sweaty and out of breath but Katie and Jackson were still bursting with energy.

The pattern papers are Anna Griffin and I had to hand cut the large arrow. I flipped the paper over and used a ruler and pencil to sketch it out and used an exacto knife to cut it out. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Deets: Cardstock: The Paper Co. Pattern Paper: Anna Griffin. Letter Stickers: Doodlebug Designs. Other products used: Quickutz and buttons.

The second layout is of my beautiful boy, Tommy. He turned a big 10 years old this year. I thought the title was fitting because bless his empty tummy, he is always hungry.

Deets: Cardstock: Stampin' Up and Coredinations. Pattern Papers: Martha Stewart. Buttons: Bazzill. Eyelet: Making Memories. Other products used: Quickutz, Fiskars border punches, Sizzix die and Stampin' Up punch.

Happy 4th of July!

First of all, I want to say Thank You to all the men and women that are fighting for our freedom and to their families that are left behind. And if you're the praying type, say a little prayer tonight that our heroes will one day return home safely. Dh is gone to town to have the oil changed in my car and he's going to stop by the grocery store to pick up some hamburger, hot dogs and brats to throw on the grill tonight. It hasn't rained in 10 days so there will be no fireworks this year, don't want to have the fire department out here tonight. lol. It's probably a good thing, since the dogs are afraid of them anyways. Sooo, what's your plans for this holiday weekend?
