J & E

This past weekend a cousin from my dad's side got married. This photo is from their save the date card I got in the mail. I received the Simple Stories Love & Adore collection that I purchased this Black Friday weekend and wanted to use it immediately!

This page came together so quickly using THIS sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. I used the diagonal in the opposite direction, but I thought this paper was perfect for this sketch.

Thanks for looking!

#KokomoStrong

Back in August on our way home from Green Bay, we got a phone call from my dad asking where I was because a tornado had just hit Kokomo. By the end of the night, we had five tornadoes touch down in our county. Fortunately, no one was killed, but there was devastating damage to many homes and crop fields.

The following week, Pat McAfee hosted a comedy show fundraiser in Indianapolis to raise funds for Kokomo. My friend is a huge Colts fan and immediately got us tickets. The show was very funny, he had several local celebrities come on stage, and he raised $150,000 for tornado relief funds, which is pretty amazing.

I used the most recent sketch from Let's Get Sketchy to make this page. It might be hard to tell, but the photo is the sign on the front of the building where the fundraiser was held.

Thanks for looking!

Tonight I had some free time and I was itching to work with some new products I recently received. I used THIS Stuck Sketches?! sketch to make my page.

I just got some of the Heart Day collection from Crate Paper and although it's a Valentine's day collection, the colors and the love theme can be used for anything.

Thanks for looking! :)

I had some time before work to make a page today for the Scrappy Friends challenge and combined it with the Pawsitively Pets challenge from Paper Issues this month. For the Paper Issues challenge, we had to use three patterned papers and ink/mist/paint. The Scrappy Friends challenge is a sketch + wood veneer.

This was fun because I haven't used my mists in a long time. I used up some of my Bella Blvd Rover collection and combined it with some new Illustrated Faith, that's actually from the Christmas collection.

Here's my page:
