I followed a wonderful sketch on Sketchabilities challenge blog.  They also wanted you to use stains, and sprays...which I did but I don't htink my pics captured that too well.  The sprays were blues, and some glitters...
Here is my l/o I am entering in their challenge...

I was looking for a layout to use several pictures, and this one worked perfect for me.  So, I scraplifted Brenda Carpenter's on The Scraproom Blog, for their challenge.  :)  Here is my layout and hers:

Cmas Eve

Sketches in Thyme has there Design Team call, and a sketch to go w/it, so I thought it might be fun to give it a go..with some Christmas eve pictures..... :) and here is their sketch too...

Christmas Cookie Party

The Paper Variety has a lovely challenge to "scraplift" any project or tutorial by one of their DT's since Jan. (2012)--so I had a wondeful time perusing all the lovely projects, but settled on a great layout by Caroli 

This is Caroli's page from Jan. 23rd..

(I loved the way it was set up for 4 pictures...)

Here is my take on her idea:

crabbing

I used the Sketches in Thyme #74 (4 picture) layout sketch challenge...I liked how it lined them all up on one side, and for ScrapFit blog challenge, they just are asking you make a layout using at least 4 pictures.  So this worked wonderfully for both. :)  Here is my layout and the sketch as well. :)

school ar fun

Authentique blog challenge has a great sketch challenge, (I already did one, but I guess you can do as many as you want)--sooo here's another one.  This ones a tad "busy" :) but it was fun to put together...so, here's my l/o and their sketch....

Authentique Blog Paper Challenge has a great sketch.  I love their paper, so making a page up for their challenge was a lot of fun. :)  Here is my layout, and their sketch....

halloween 2011

Frosted Designs, has a wonderful sketch that I followed for my Halloween L/O.  I had this cute "star" paper that I thought would go with the "starish" design they have. :)  Here is my l/o and their sketch.

creeps II

I wanted to complete a "2" page layout of our CREEPY family shots, from October, I once again used the sketch l/o from Get Sketchy.  Frosted Designs has a wonderful challenge going on, of "recycled/upcycled" somethings... :)  I recycled a few things on this page, so I thought I would enter it in their contest. :)  The tulle is from an old skirt of my daughters, and the big eyeball came off a Halloween project we did, as did the pom pom ribbon..hence it's curliness.. :)  Here is my L/O

creeps

I hope this isn't a wee bit to macabre (especially right at spring) ha--but, my kids and I had loads of fun with Picnik, and this lovely photo op was taken while carving pumpkins.  HA!  Soooo, with that in mind...I loved the sketch at Lets Get Sketchy and it brought to mind, that I still need to catch up/back on Halloweenie!  Here's my taken, and their sketch....

gingerbread house

Sketches in Thyme has a great sketch that I followed to complete my Gingerbread Houses layout. :)  I loved their idea of making the "title" around the circle....Here is my take and their sketch....
