Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #429

I am back today with another fabulous sketch from Scrapbook Challenges!

Here is the sketch:


Here is my layout, I love how this one turned out but it was not the original photos that I had printed for this sketch - those photos are packed due to some water damage at my home and I had to make do with some I had pre-printed.

Memory Nest Make It Monday #33

I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying getting back into scrapping regularly - I know I keep mentioning it but it was about a 2 year dry spell where I struggled with layouts, now they come easily and I am enjoying it!!

I also want to give a shout out to Leslie at the Memory Nest for leaving many kind comments here on my blog, thank you! :)

Today I played along with Memory Nest Make It Monday #33.

Here is the sketch:

Oswald loved to eat snow, so when we would get a good snowstorm he would get a bowl full of snow!

Scrapbook Challenges SAY WHAT?? Journaling Challenge

On the Scrapbook Challenges blog today is a journaling challenge … I will admit not my strong suit since I am usually content with minimal details, but I am glad I scrapped this since I still laugh about it! :)





Journaling: During a game this season a teammate hit a kid while pitching; to help him clear his head you went to the mound and said "when you focus on the (catcher's) glove you hit the glove, when you focus on the batter's butt you hit his butt." Love that you can think on your feet and help your teammates relax! Photo May 4, 2014





Come play along by linking your challenge up on the Scrapbook Challenge Blog!  In order to be eligible for our Monthly Prize drawing all completed layouts must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. PST February 28, 2015.
