I Love my Cats - LGS Oct wk 2

Hello Hello and happy Tuesday!
I'm here today to show off my DT layout for Lets Get Sketchy Oct week 2 sketch.  Its a fun one!  Join in with us, remember you have the full month to complete our sketches! 

We have also added a new twist at LGS, you can become a guest designer!  Starting with the November sketches, if you are interested, all you have to do when you upload your layout is put the letters "GDT" beside your name and thats it!  Easy peasy!  One of you will be randomly chosen.  Head over to Lets Get Sketchy for full details.

Ok, on to this weeks sketch, here is what we had to work with...

and here is my take on it...

I'm just crazy about my cats and they are so spoiled!  But thats ok, they spoil me too.  Life is good with my furry boys :)

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment.  I love the feedback, it keeps me going!

Love 2 Shop - LGS Oct wk 1

Good morning! 

I'm showing off my design team layout for this weeks sketch at Lets Get Sketchy!  Challenge rules have changed up a bit, which I will explain after you see my layout. 

This is the sketch.  A fun one to work with!  So much you can do with this one!

and here is my take...

This is my daughter and I enjoying another hobby of mine, shopping!  Spending the day together in Chicago.   Instead of ribbon cuts below the picture, I advertised shopping brands that I like.  I like how it turned out.  I wonder if those company brands are willing to pay me for advertising?  Haha! 

As I stated above, LGS is changing up their weekly challenges.  Starting today, October 12 - Instead of the deadline for each challenge being weekly, you now have until the end of the month to complete each sketch.  There will be seperate links to each weekly sketch.  Sketches will still be posted on Mondays of each week and there will continue to be 4 sketches a month. 
We are hoping this helps and gives you more time to join in the fun! 

Because of the changes you will now be required to complete 3 of the 4 sketches in order to be in the drawing for the sponsored prize each month.

Ok, now that its all explained, get over to Lets Get Sketchy and get to work on this weeks sketch!  While you are there check out all the DT's work for inspiration!

Good luck and Happy Scrapping!  Thanks for stopping by!

LGS #30 sketch...

and my take...

I turned the sketch and cut my picture into thirds.  I am happy with the outcome.  I like the look of cut pictures.  And to the left, I used a paint sample swatch from Lowe's.  I grabbed a handful of them on my last visit *hehe*  I love new ideas!

Thanks for stopping by!  Please leave a comment and I hope to see you back!

Riviera Maya, Mexico - LGS #29

Hello Friends!  And happy Monday to you. 

I'm running a week behind, so forgive me.  Its been somewhat hectic around the house for me and I've been feeling overwhelmed.  But enough about me, lets move on to scrapping!

This was my design layout for Lets Get Sketchy! from last weeks sketch.  I dont often work with large whole circles but this was a fun layout to do.  I like the turnout.
