Julie Bonner Sketches

Are you a big fan too? I really love her sketches. Lately she has been designing exclusive sketches for a few different sites. I have used my December ScrapbookDeals4u.com kit for a few of those sketches. Here is the layout I did with the Magpie sketch!

I love this kit! It is so heavy, and full, and beautiful. Martha sold out of the CHristmas Mega kit in record time but has decided to put another set together. Email her if you would like the kit!

Going Green w Christmas Cards

Every Monday until Christmas someone from theScrapbookDeals4U.com DT is going to share with you a fun project they have made for the holidays. I'm up first!

I needed to make some Christmas cards. I had some Thank You Cards in my stash that I was never going to use. They were pretty, but not that exciting. I decided to use those cards as the base for my Christmas Cards. Recycle them in a way!

Here is the starting card:

Nice, but ordinary

I had picked up some super fun Jolly by Golly paper and embellies and was itching to use that paper. It would work too because it has some pink in it and my recycled envelopes were pink.

I started to build my base and wanted to decide whether to use the pink snowman paper (because of the envies) or keep with the greeninsh color scheme.

These were my two choices:

or


I decided the greenish color looked better, but still needed to get some pink on the card for the tie in with the envie!

I decided to use the pink snowman paper on the inside of the card (and I covered up the printed thank you sentiment too).



I then chose some of the Ready Set Chip and stickers from the line that had red or pink in it for the front to help with the envie color. I stamped a sentiment on red cardstock, adhere it and the trim to the card. It needed a little something more so I used my stardust pen on the fronts to finish the cards off.

Here they are:


Fast, cute, and GREEN (in more ways than one!)

And here is a recent layout I did using CC's paper line too!



Thanks for looking and I hope you share with us something you make for the holidays this year. Look forward to our next project next Monday.

SD4U Sketch #45

Ok, are you ready for your next sketch challenge at scrapbookdeals4u.com? All entries are due on Nov. 29. The poll will be posted on Nov 30 and the winner announced on December 1st. Seems far away, but it really isn't!



And here is my sample:

This was Payton, my 5 year old, when she was just a few months old. The picture is really that pink in person too. Her hair is now so blonde. Its hard to remember that her hair was that dark.

I'd love to see your layout with this sketch! Upload it to the gallery at Scrapbookdeals4u.com so we can see your creativity!

My November Layouts with Photos

I was able to get some photos on my layout and would love to show you what they look like now!


Here is the first onewith a cute picture of Payton and Wade. I love this photo. I love the colors in this layout too.
Here is one I made using some scraps from the kit. I was really getting down to the end when I made this layout. This is Kylie on her baptism day.

And here are the kids' school pictures from this year. Ky is in 3rd, Wes is in 1st and Pay is on pre-K.

This is a picture from Wade's blessing day with all the men that participated. I love this photo too.
This is from this past Easter at Huntington Central Park (or maybe it was 2 Easter's ago).

I haven't been able to figure out the best place to photograph layouts in my new house. I need to figure it out though. These are very shadowy. It was late afternoon.

I hope you got your November kit because they are all sold out. December's kit will be on sale soon!

Are you ready to see what SD4U is offering for December??? They are awesome once again!
