I am playing along with The Scraproom Blog's NSD challenge of making a layout with the word Memory or Memories..So here is my take. :)

This was a fun challenge to do, The Scraproom Blog is having a NSD challenge to use "strips" of patterned paper....nowider than 2"...fun, so here is my take...

crab

The Scraproom Blog has a sketch with a twist (use a punch)...I used fish. :)  It is a sketch for NSD. :)  Here is my take and their sketch. :)

driver!

I cannot believe I am making a page for my oldest son DRIVING!  Time flies....The ScrapRoom blog has a great sketch, that I moved around a bit, but made it work for my layout. :)  I used glassy effects to highlight certain cut outs on my page, but I don't think that showed up on my pictures.  :)  Here is my take and their sketch....

Let's Capture these Sketches, has a lovely sketch on that, worked perfect for what I had in mind. :)  I am also entering this in Let's Get Sketchy challenge..they are asking for layout's with white plus one.   So here is my take:

jo's party

I have been saving my daughter's bday party pics for sometime, and Sketches in Thyme sketch challenge, was just what I needed to put it all together. :)  I also would like to enter this into the challenge at Practical Scrappers, for use of word games/crossword... :)  Here is my l/o and the sketch I followed. :)

jo bday

Sketches with a twist has a lovely sketch, that I used for my daughters b/day layout.
 
I had a lot of fun, working with this.  The twist is to use stitching.  I did some hand stitching and made my circle. :) 
Also I loved that Lasting Memories has a "treasure hunt" challenge -- scrapbook something you "treasure". :)  And, I treasure my little kiddos, so very much, so it seemed appropriate. :)
