Once upon a Sketch

Tidbitz in Time is sponsoring Once Upon A Sketch this month so I decided to play along. Its probably the most amazing sketch blog Ive ever seen. Now those that know me know that Im not a fan of sketches. For the most part they stifle my creativity and make me stay in a box.... but I love these sketches! Plus the design team is to die for! So much gorgeousness on one blog is almost too much for me. It just makes me need to create!

Here is Nadia's sketch for August 1st

and here is my take. You can click to make it bigger

I also had to use the journaling prompt..... "A perfect Day"

A Moment like This

After playing with the deliciously elegant August kit from Tidbitz in Time I am officially in LOVE with Crate Paper again. The Portrait collection is indeed to die for and this kit has all kinds of goodies paired with it....... Printed chipboard shapes, laces and trims, 4 different kinds of flowers, 2 alphas, border sticker strips, and bling frames! Take a peek and fall in love....

I used it for baby and wedding photos but I think the papers are classic enough to be used with almost anything. I love the unique color combo too. I went through this kit in 2 days I loved it so much. Here are 3 of my layouts and 1 card. I have another layout coming soon... its a guest layout for Once Upon a Sketch so I cant share it yet.

I added the red doilies, bakers twine and shipping tags to this layout

I added the yellow flowers and kraft cardstock to this layout

I added a red heart doily and red cardstock to this card I made using the paper scraps. 

This layout has a white cardstock background that you cant see in the photo very well

Dont wait a lifetime for "A Moment like This"! Get yours before its gone!
