This is the last of the special anniversary sketches this month over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop. The banners made me think of the races, and I thought I better get last year's race page done before this year's season starts! I was still in the doodle-ing mood, so I mimicked the tires on my accents and journalled with my favorite white pen. Can't wait to take Wyatt to the races this year, too!
The Thursday challenge over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop is to doodle on your layout. It seems like every time I doodle, I reach for my gel pens and doodle on dark paper. On this layout, I used different colors to mimic the look of chalk on my photo frames and title letters. Fun challenge!
I have been wanting to scrap these pics of me for some time. Every since Wyatt was born, people have been saying he looks like Cody, but I always thought he looked more like Sarah. Then my mom and I were looking through some old pictures and guess what? I think he looks like me! No matter what, he is pretty darn cute, but I want him to be able to see this connection someday! Oh, and this is for another challenge over at Sweet Peach to use baby pics and hand journal- I used my new sweet kit, too!
This is the 3rd Anniversary sketch over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop. I have been wanting to scrap this pic for a while. Yay! Finally got it done. It is the only pic I have of Cody going to preschool and it is going to be over in a few short weeks! 
Got lots done last night! Here is my page for Sweet Peach Crop Shop's 2nd Anniversary sketch challenge. I used the buttons from this month's sweet kit and the thickers that I won the first week of their celebration! The patterned paper was a score yesterday at my LSS in the clearance rack for 10cents! This is the third time I have scrapped this pic (one for each kid's album) and they all turned out so different!
It was so beautiful outside yesterday, we were out for hours and the kids were all worn out and went to bed an hour earlier, which meant.....some scrap time for mommy! These pics were from the warm spell in the fall, but I can't wait to scrap the swing pics I took yesterday, too! These poor kids are going to need a uhaul to take their albums with them when they leave home!
Sara's challenge over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop is to use the word "sweet" in your title. I was working on Wyatt's thanksgiving page and I soooo love his "sour" face. He is definitely sweet! I am really loving those Jillibean soup alphas too. Gotta love a layout with 8 pics on it, too! 
The Thursday challenge over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop was to create a page with a frame. I did this page for Cody's album of my 3 fave guys. Wyatt was just starting to be want to hang out with "the boys" and Cody was loving it! He loves his baby brother sooooo much! I used some MME Laundry Line, so boyish...and I made my frame out of wood grain paper and fastened it together with screw-top brads. Thanks for the inspiration! 
Yesterday's challenge by Julie over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop was to use packaging on your LO. I struggle with this a little, and I had already used all my cute packaging on other layouts, so I was looking through my bag of stuff and flipping everything over to check out the possibilities. I finally found 2 packs of metallic alphas from Making Memories that were on this backing that had a cute design on the edge. I used one for the title and journalling, and the other is behind the main photo, though I had to split it because it was a little bit too short! 21 more pages to go until I am caught up to Christmas!!! 
So much fun going on over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop for their anniversary with all kinds of prizes.....Angie's challenge is to use 3 ribbons on a layout. I used 4 different ribbons on this layout, PLUS 2 different paper ribbons. I inked the narrow ribbon under the big picture (it was white). I loved the texture on this otherwise simple layout.
