Sketchy Thursdays 3.17

Here is my LO for this week.  My daughter and husband playing together.  Her water table is absolutely her favorite thing to play with.  I think I have hundreds of pictures of her around it and she just got it Christmas!

January Layout

New year and lots of new things for my baby girl.  She started so many new things that I needed to do a lot of journaling.  I got my idea for this layout from Kinsey Wilson.  She does a lot of stitching and work with geometric shapes.  I just love her work!  I do not know how she finds enough time to do all the stitching.  It took a long time!  I was so tired that in the end I decided to do faux stitching around the edges.

The Color Room Palette #50

There are some things that just have to be done no matter how difficult they may be.  This layout was one of them.  These photos were taken after my Uncles funeral back in August.  This was one the saddest events in my life and these photos have been staring at me for months waiting to find their place on a page.  Until this week I have not had a single idea on what I thought was the proper way to document them. When I saw the colors and layout this week, I thought they would be perfect for this.

This is my first layout for the color room.  I enjoyed the process, it was very therapeutic.  I look forward to participating in the future.  The pullout tag lists all the people in the photos.  I made most of the colored strips using many different techniques: stamping, heat embossing, watercolors, oil pastels, and markers.  I hope you enjoy.

CCG Challenge #183

 

I am expanding my crafting mediums.  This week I bought watercolors and could not wait to use them!  The color turned out so beautiful!  It actually has much more green than turned out in my photo.  The butterfly stamps are Amy Butler for K & Company.  I colored them with oil pastels and layered them with newspaper.  The butterfly trails are hand stitched.

I thought this would be a fun layout for my daughter to see how much technology changes between now and when I give her the scrapbooks.
