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!

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)

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!

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!Posted by Cherie Averill at 11:50 AM 9 comments

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!
