Sketches in Thyme Take #67

It's double layout time at Sketches in Thyme. Love how many photos you can get on a double layout. For this one I found some older photos of my youngest...he was such a cutie! Here's the sketch:

When I first saw this I was a little puzzled at how to make this work for my photos. I finally decided to add photos in the white space and came up with the idea to add tags where the photos were designed to go. Papers/tags are Echo Park.

Be sure and come over and join us! You've got until January 31st to complete any or all of the sketches for your chance to win a gift from Tiffany's Etsy Shop.

Memorable Seasons Tradition Challenge

This week it's my turn to issue a challenge at Memorable Seasons. With this time of year, we have a lot of traditions that I've carried on from when I was a child. So my challenge to you:

Create a layout showcasing one tradition you have in your family. It can revolve around a holiday, it can be food related, it can be anything as long as it's a tradition.

Here is my example of a tradition started by my mom. For valentine's day she always made us a big heart shaped sugar cookie and we could decorate it any way we wanted and then eat it anytime we wanted. Fun memories that she know carries on with my kids.

So come join us and if you complete this and post it by December 31st, your name will go into a drawing for our montly GC.

Sketches In Thyme Take #60

My first layout for Sketches in Thyme went live today. Here is this week's sketch:



I found these photos of the Ruby slippers from our DC trip last fall and knew they were perfect for this sketch. I had to make some red glitter words so I die cut some red glitter foam. Here's my take:

Christmas Craft Time

A month or so ago I came across a darling project from Leslie Ashe. I decided I must give it a try. Usually I'm one that sees fun ideas but rarely make them. Well at Memorable Seasons, we are sharing each Wednesday from now until Christmas a Christmas craft to help inspire you. This week it's my turn. So I pulled out last years Echo Park line and got to work. The trick is to figure out the order of your paper and then once you have the length figured out, cut it at that length and the width is 2". Roll up your paper gluing it to seal the paper tube closed and once you have it all laid out the way you want just glue them down to the canvas. I created a dimensional star and popdotted it for the top and then added buttons and brads for my ornaments. I decided I wanted to add a frame using one of my border punches. So if you're like me and see crafts you like but rarely make, give this a try. If you create a project(not a layout or card) using rolled paper your name will go into the monthly draw at Memorable Seasons. I'd love to have you link back here so I can see what you create.
