Let's Scrap Sketch: 2-15-12

The third week of each month Let's Scrap share a Card Sketch.  This is over and above all the other challenges.  I am still busy with my 50 cards for Feb Leap (think I have run out of steam there though).. 

This is the sketch this week.. Debby created a beautiful sketch again:

Let's Scrap Sketch: 2-8-12

I finally got a chance to play with this awesome sketch from Let's Scrap.. cannot believe I was so busy making cards that I totally ran out of time and then ended up forgetting about the main sketch...

This is the sketch:

As I had too many long photos, I combined the layout with a sketch by Pagemaps which I used on the left side.

I used a range of papers from Simple Stories off their Elementary and Yearography lines:

Photos are of my boys on their first day of school 2012.. they are growing so fast, it breaks my heart to see them getting so big ... ! But it is also a good thing I suppose..

I love spending every day with you

These photos were taken in Port Fairy on 1 January 2012 when we were there for holiday.  Brenton and his dad were spending a lot of time together on the beach flying the stunt kites. Neville had to help him as the 2 kites pulled him around a lot and into the sea a few times.. LOL.. was fun.


Found this awesome range of MME papers with Kites on it that worked perfectly.  Added a few rolls to give it some texture.
