Let's Get Sketchy Hop

Let's Get Sketchy is having their first Fall Blog Hop.  There are many ways to win.  One is to use the color palette for a project.

I remember that many years ago I bought the Friendly Forest Collections form Michaels.  That was perfect.  I used one of the goofy pictures of the cat for the layout.  He is sitting on my scrapbooking chair.  He sits there more than me.

 If you've come from Robin's blog, you're in the right place. 

For today's hop, I made...


A Turkey Box




I painted the to of my turkey box with Luminarte Twinklings H20.  I used a gold, red and orange and blended them together.  I used fall pattern paper for around the box.  The turkey was cut from the create a critter cricut cartridge, of course I had to use my stickles to embellish him.  I also painted the ric rac, wooden letters and crochet flower with a brown twinkling.  I just looked in my stash of goodies to decorate the rest of the lid of the box.  

Follow my blog and one of my lucky followers will win this box.  It's perfect for name cards so everyone in your big family will know where to sit.  :)

Good Luck and have fun hopping!!

Time for a walk

Here my crazy daughter decided to take the cat for a walk.  They did not go very far, Sebastian just wanted to go back into the house.

This is for the sketch challenge at Paper Secrets


DT- Lift Off

I'm sad that I am no long the guest DT at Lasting Memories.  I had a blast with my crazy layouts.  You girls have to tell me when it is time for a DT call. 

Here is Quincie and her baby.  She love Sebastian so very much.  He loves her right back.  I can't believe we had him for almost 2 1/2 months already.

I had lifted Toni's layout.  I hope you love it, Toni!!!!



Out of it

I think Sebastian is so adorable when he sleeps.  So sweet and innocent.  He is really a good cat, he loves to be petted all day long.

This layout is for Sketches With A Twist, the twist is to use stamping.  I stamped small flowers on the top and put pearls in the center.

For Scrap Our Stash I had to use pieces of torn paper.




RCS #10 - Clean and Simple

Our challenge this week at Red Carpet Studio is a layout challenge - create a CAS-style layout. CAS stands for Clean and Simple, meaning not a lot of details, embellishments, etc.



It was hard for me to do a CAS layout, I need enough embellishment to cover most of the page.

Quincie's goofy cat like to lean up again the walls and door.  He really looks like an idiot, but we still love him.





Our fabulous sponsor this week is The Paper Parade! They will be providing the winner with a $25 gift certificate.

Monster Mash

I work with the sketch over at Stuck On Us Sketches.  Here is what this week's sketch looks like.


So, I stayed with the Halloween theme when I did my layout.  This is from the haunted hayride we went on.  It really was not scary at all except for the disco dancing clowns.
