New Layout from the Snippy Scraplpers

It was a fun virtual crop with the Snippy Scrappers who introduced this layout project recipe.  Isn't it cute? 

Wednesday Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz

So many plans....and so hard to get motivated to accomplish them!  LOL!  Still have not recovered from having the house painted....can't find my wall art cutting files....or even the fonts I used to reproduce.  So Just managing to sneak in a little time for a challenge or two.  The sketch is from the Wednesday Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz - I used the sketch to create a scrapbook layout. It's a winter scene - but the papers are Cookie Monster (Cookie Monster eyes and Chocolate Chips) for my 2-year-old niece who loves Cookie Monster.

Yikes!  Just found out I missed the challenge!  LOL!  Oh, well....got a layout completed.

A Good Day

Told you I finished all the Creative Memories sketches from last week - here is the last of them.  

Winter Loving

Last weekend was the Creative Memories Virtual Crop and I was on a roll.  It got all six entries in.  For this layout, I wish I could show the photos....but just think The Christmas Story.  LOL!

The Creative Memories Virtual Crop

I was the Creative Memories Virtual Crop this past weekend.  This layout is with Cookie Monster. 

Isn't he cute?

As you can see, the Cookie Monster embellishments are cut with my Eclips.  I had a lot of trouble deciding on a background.  While I like the colors of the scrapbooking kit, the patterns don't always lend themselves well for backgrounds.  And it's tough to get the scale just right - not to mention, the papers don't have continuous patterns!!!  These patterns make placement of items awkward.
