The Pencil LInes sketch this week is a lovely simple one- but that didn't stop me changing it

I started ( as I usually do )  with the paper- I cut the middle out of the patterned paper so I could use both sides of the sheet- its only once I stuck things down that I decided to make it a boy page- flowers are good for boys too he?

I chose to use four photos instead of one and switched round the position of the title- but the basic shape of the papers are still there

sketch and a bit

The Sassy Lil sketch for this week was another opportunity to bust open my Counterfeit kit- they have a challenge to make your own background paper with stamps but I already had this great paper languishing in my stash from 2006- its made to look like stitches - I reckon it would be very simple to recreate this myself

this is the Sassy sketch

you can see I changed it up a bit- I ditched the banner and only used one photo but I have got the sideways title!

 I just stuck this LO in here as I had nowhere else to put it!

snor- no I haven't spelt it wrong

The first challenge for this month at Counterfeit kit this month is to make your own background paper with a stamp. I bought the moustache stamp from Etsy a while ago and though it would be perfect to use with this photo of Nancy- she seems to think that moustaches go over the nose rather than under it

and Snor? it's the Dutch word for moustache not a spelling mistake- isn't it a great word for moustache? I think so

Congratulations

Were on the second alphabet challenge over at Scrapbookers Anonymous- this month its B so here is my list of Bs form my LO

1. Basic Grey paper
2. Bingo card ( from Blokker)
3. Basic grey sticker
4. Blue Butterfly from jenny Bowlin
5. Baker's twine

Why not see what you can make with Bs from your stash

Fix you

Things went a little pear shaped  with Scrap it with a Song and my posting over the summer so I am reposting this now- (in case you have already seen it) and I'm also taking the opportunity to tell you that Scrap it With a Song is looking for a new design team- you have until 20th September to send in your submissions if you are interested- go and have a look at the challenge and the design team entry HERE

The latest challenge from Scrap it with a song is FIx You by Cold Play- I started this LO by playing about with bits of scrap paper on my desk- - I had a section that I had punched out of some strips of paper for another LO so I stuck that on as well- then I found the check cream paper and matted it onto the spots paper from Echo Park

finally I added the flair and the ampersand paper to add a bit of different colour to the LO- follow the link at the side to go and see what the other girls have produced

a new start

My latest submission for Twisted sketches is this- the twist is start and what could be better to use than a photo of my three on their first day at a new school- I felt too self conscious to take photos at the school- I was too busy when we got there anyway- but I did manage to get a shot of them lined up (vaguely) in front of the garage before we set of on our bikes to school ( hence the helmets)

I'm not sure who was more nervous me or them- they look quite relaxed in this shot- well it was the only shot i got- they were so desperate to get to school- they started asking if they could leave about an hour before we needed to

perfect

A quickie based on this sketch by October Afternoon. Instead of two photos I switched them and put the title over the photo. I used three different lines on here- boarding pass, rocket age and campfire
