Grateful banner

I have been wanting to make one of these banners for a while.......so the kids and I have been working on gratitude and being thankful in all things and I made this banner to remind us. I am going to hang it over my mirror in the dining room. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I am thinking of making another one for Christmas.I used scenic route papers...love those owls!! Alot of rubons that I had as left overs from other kits...american crafts buttons and misc brads and bazzill paper flowers and prima flowers. The journaling box was a bonus from the sketch io2 class and is made by janna.

a couple more layouts done for sketch 102

This layout is off Christophers first birthday in 2004.....I'm just a tad behind!! He will be 5 next week!! Oh well I really enjoyed adding all the little touches to this one...the picture does not do it justice. I've learned how to make alot of neat embellishments in this class so much fun and I have managed to not buy any more supplies but are trying to use what I have....
this layout is from a fun summer visit from our very best friends the Morris Family!!! We always have a blast when we all get together! We have 14 children between the 2 of us!!! Fun, Fun!!!

Sketch 102

I have been so busy scrapping that I have not posted my layouts for the sketch 102 class. I can not say enough good things about this class! What a blast! I know they are going to be running a sketch 103 so be on the look out for that!! Here are some of the layouts I got done using Val and Janna's sketches and great tip ideas!!! I challenged myself to not only get the paper sketch done but also complete a digi version of the sketch. So far I have done all 6 sketches...only 2 more to do!!!
