2 More Layouts from my Scrappy Retreat

Here are 2 more layouts from my Scrapbook Retreat.  This first one was created using a Sketches in Thyme sketch by Bev Code.

And here is my take on it.  I switched to 2 photos and mine is definitely not feminine like this one.

My second layout is one I created using this fun sketch by Laura Whitaker over at ScrapMuch?

I thought this background paper is similar enough to create a similar feel:

Be sure and check these fun challenges out.  I loved them all!  Thanks for stopping by!  

Color Me Scrappy Challenge #69 & Colorful Creations Sketch

Here is the second color challenge I used from Color Me Scrappy.



Plus I chose to use this darling sketch from Colorful Creations.  Love it!



And here is my take on both:

  I'll be posting more today and tomorrow from my Scrappy Retreat.  Thanks for stopping by!

Color Me Scrappy Challenge #70

I was blessed to go to a Scrapbook Retreat this last week and got lots done!  Yay!  It felt great to have that creative time.  So you'll be seeing many posts from me over the next few days, if not all of them today.  Whenever I go to these retreats I go to several of my favorite sites and find a few challenges to inspire me.

Here is the first challenge.  It's a color challenge from Color Me Scrappy


Here is my take on it.  I thought the colors and wood feel of the letters felt like fall.

Thanks for stopping by!  

Colorful Creations DT Call

Colorful Creations was a fun Ning site that was around for quite a few years and I played along quite a bit with their challenges.  Then they closed and somehow I lost track of them.  Then I saw on one of the DT member's blogs that  Colorful Creations has a blog now. I was thrilled!! Then while checking things out I discovered they have a DT Call.  I LOVE to use sketches when I create so I thought it would be fun to give it a try.

Here is the sketch for the call and we had to use fall colors.

And here is my take on it.  This is a photo of my daughter and her friend, Jen.  Aren't they beautiful?! I used Basic Grey Persimmon line.  It's a little hard to tell but the background is actually Navy. I loved this sketch!

Be sure and stop by Colorful Creations.  I'll be posting my take on their September 15 sketch soon. Come play along! 

Throwback Thursday at 3 Scrappy Boys

Today is my turn over at 3Scrappy Boys blog and I thought it would be fun to pull out an old kit and scrap a new layout. The 3 Scrappy Boys store truly has some amazingpast kits and tons are discounted 50% off!!  Plus, the 50% off sale is still going on for the store products as well.  That's an amazing discount!  

Here is the layout I created using the Throwback September 2013 Main kit.  I have to say I just love this kit!  The colors and patterns are fabulous! This purple is the color of my daughter's friend's wedding so I knew it would be perfect for this photo of them on that special day.  

I was totally inspired by this fabulous sketch at Let's Get Sketchy. 

Be sure to go check things out in the store.  There are tons of fabulous products 50% off in the store and those past kits are on sale too.  You really can't go wrong with those prices.  It's a wonderful value! Have a happy scrappy week!

Back 2 School

It's my turn over at the 3Scrappy Boys blog.  I'm sharing my layout using this month's Add-On kit featuring the Jillibean Soup Spicy Social Soup.  Because this line is so specific it's got me working to figure out what to create with it.  As I was going through the papers, I thought there were several that worked well for a school layout so I found some older photos of my son to use.  I am still in shock that it's back 2 School time!  I'm not sure about you, but my summer has absolutely flown by!  Here is what I came up:

I was totally inspired by this fun sketch over at My Scraps and More Sketch blog.  At first I wasn't sure about it but I really had fun with it!  You should definitely try it!  

                               

And for those wondering, here is a photo of the kit I have this month to play with:
