run wild|ScrapMuch?!

Hey everyone! This is my last reveal for October on ScrapMuch?! It's hard to believe October is almost over! This week we had a really cool sketch. It was different for me, which was kind of fun. Here it is:

My layout is from our trip to FL back in April when I got my third tattoo. I had quite an audience (TJ, his sister, her two youngest, her oldest + his girlfriend). The tattoo artist wasn't very friendly but I've yet to meet one who is. He did a good job though, and that's what matters.Here's my page:

The girls on the ScrapMuch?! team have some gorgeous layouts this week - you can see them HERE. Also view our rules for Sketchy Friday and link up your own projects at the ScrapMuch?! blog. You have until October 29 to link up for any of October's challenges!

It's my week to share on the Let's Capture our Memories blog! We're releasing sketch #94 this week! This was a fun sketch and this layout came together easily. Here's what our sketch was:

Here's my page:

This is my little's cousin's baby. He finally got to go home from the hospital about a month after he was born. I used some stuff from my Studio Calico Freemont Glades add on kit. SC had a sale over Labor day weekend with several old kits on sale for $10. I picked up three :) I followed the sketch pretty closely on this one, aside from shrinking it down to 8.5x11 size and using only one photo.

get outside|ScrapMuch?!

Hey ya'll! We're up on the blog at ScrapMuch?! with another Sketchy Friday. This was a great sketch - wait until you see all the interpretations from the design team. 

Here was our sketch:

I used a smaller scale version of the sketch - 8.5x11 layout size. I used one photo (a small Instagram photo) and some Crate Paper tags. This is how it looks:

 

This is a pretty simple layout. I used some Studio Calico stamps + VersaFine ink (onyx) and just added some chipboard stickers by Hello Forever + Studio Calico. I sprinkled some mist by Tattered Angels (chalkboard Mantis) and used a Crate Paper date stamp for the hearts (+ green American Crafts pigment ink).

Please check out the layouts by the other design team members! They rock! & you can also link up your entry for a chance at the prize!

•  link up your creations in our sidebar to be entered into a random draw for our monthly prize.
• you have until October 29 at midnight to participate in any of October's sketch challenges
• each linkup tool will remain open until that date!

If you are playing along with more than one challenge you will need to link each of them up via a separate blog post for the link up tool to work. (International participants may be required to pay some shipping fees.)  Good luck!! 

bushels of fun [LCOM 92].

Hey everyone! Can you believe it's October now?! It's Saturday which means it's also our sketch reveal on Let's Capture our Memories. Fittingly, I have an autumn layout to share today. Here was our sketch:

LCOM Sketch 92

I had some trouble getting started on this layout. Finally I decided to scale it down to 8.5x11 size and not use the sketch so literally. Here's what I came up with:

Last weekend we went to a local farmer's market where I got the pumpkins, bale of straw, and some mums. I don't have much outdoor autumn decor and I didn't decorate at all last year since I didn't move in until November. This didn't photograph very well but I promise it looks cute in real life. & I made the burlap wreath on my door too!

My paper, vellum, and chipboard piece are from Studio Calico kits. My wood veneer buttons & houses are Crate Paper; the wood leaves are Creative Embellishments chipboard. The little die cut pieces are from October Afternoon & then the two smaller pattern papers are 3x4 project life cards.

The October prize is a $20 gift certificate to Let's Capture Our Memories! Lots of great stuff in there to spend your money on! Here's how you can play along:

1. Make a newly created project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery.
2. Then leave a link to your project using the Inlinkz widget HERE. Please use a direct link to your LCOM Sketch post and not just your blog address.
3. If you upload to online galleries, please also use tag/keyword LCOM92. LCOM products are NOT required to participate, and you can enter as many times as you want. If you don't have a particular shape indicated in the sketch, feel free to substitute.
4. There is no time limit - you can always play any week at any time, but the linking form will close on the last day of the month at 11:55pm (Atlantic Standard Time) to allow us to find a prize winner.
