Checking in.....

I'm sorry I've been missing! But I have two really good reasons! lol

My stepson got married last week in Wyoming so I was gone all last week.....And the other reason is that I'm now a staff member at Scrapbook News and Review!! I'll be doing the monthly sketches for the magazine!

You should all come by for a visit! There's a forum there to hang out in too!www.scrapbooknewsandreview.com

I promise I'll keep updating my blog with new sketches.....Just probably not today - I have this little j-o-b thing to do today! lol

Does anyone want a sketch???



Or maybe two??

Okay, so it's not REALLY two....I want you to see how quickly just adding a circle changed the look of the sketch! Now it's your turn!

What could be more fabulous than...

a Sketchfest??

Visit Creative Scrappers on July 25th - July 27th to join in the fun! You might just see one of my sketches there!

I've been such a slacker!

Sorry! We've been moving forever now....But we're getting close! Close but not quite....It's amazing how many things you can "lose" when you move! UGH!

Good news though! We actually got our phone/internet installed today. WOOHOO! The kids are so excited! But I'm not sure who is more excited - them or ME! ;o)

Anyway, I will be attending a crop in Wisconsin this weekend. A bunch of us from www.scrapfreak.com are getting together! HOORAY! The girls from Scrapfreak that can't make it to the crop in Wisconsin are hosting a crop at the site - so drop by and check it out! You just might find a sketch challenge from me there! (Hint: It's THIS sketch! lol)

Testing....

WOOHOO! Blogger loves me again!


Friday, May 9, 2008

Sigh....

Blogger still hates me! lol And Carla tells me that you can't see the link for the new sketch in the other post....So I thought I'd make it a little clearer for you all.

Just drag your mouse over where it says, "Check out my new sketch!" and you'll see a hyperlink. Click on that and it'll take you to my Photobucket.

I tried uploading again to Blogger and it just doesn't matter what I do....It HATES me! :giggle:

It's official!

Blogger HATES me! lol It will not let me upload any image no matter how I do it! I've been trying since right after my last post and it just will not cooperate. So, check out my new sketch!

Doing a happy dance!

I'm doing a happy dance because I've been trying to post these sketches for what seems like forever....Today, I finally got it done by using Photobucket - it wouldn't even do that before!

Anyway, thanks for your patience! Sorry it's taken so long for an update!

It's a Freak Mission!

Normally, I don't share much here about myself or anything else but this just gives me goosebumps and I hope you all can help!


My friend, Sara, from Scrapfreak is on a mission to help a disabled man go to Disney! If you could spare any change to share with him to make his dream a reality, he'd be thrilled! Check out his story here.

Several things




Sorry I was missing last week! I got really sick and was out of it most of the week. I'm just beginning to feel human again.

Ana Costa sent this layout she created from my July 19, 2007 sketch. I just loved it so I asked her if I could share with you all!

A good friend of mine, Lisa Simpson, sent me this layout she created using my sketch! Love it! Thanks Lisa!


Deanne Burton created this card! Don't you just love it?


And here's the sketch! And last but definitely not least, Michelle D. from http://www.scrap-room.com/ created this layout:

For this sketch:

TGIF!

No examples for you today.....Just LOTS of sketches! lol I hope you don't mind....

This is a twist of a sketch that I created for a Belgium forum (can't share the original quite yet because they're using it and I promised! lol):
Another twist of that sketch:

And just a simple, simple sketch:
This sketch was created from a layout that Kim from www.scrap-room.com created. She was in charge of the sketch challenge and needed it converted to a sketch. That's where I stepped in! lol I wanted to share with you so you can stop by the forum and check it out! Personally, I LOVE their kits!
And last but not least.....Some card sketches:

Sketch #11!

I LOVE this example created by Deanna Deaton! Thanks Deanna!

Another one!!!

I started out the New Year thinking that I was going to post one sketch every week....So, I started numbering the sketches by weeks. I'm having a HARD time keeping it to only one sketch a week - so you're going to get sketches whenever I feel like it! lol Me thinks I need to change the sketch names to numbers - what do you think?

Nicole Boarman's adorable example (notice she rotated the sketch?):

I did this one backwards! lol

I created this layout last night and then drew the sketch this morning. I NEVER do it in that order! lol Anyway, this is my friend, Tammi, and I when we were at a crop together in Split Rock, PA.
And now, here's the sketch!
