Ink and Paint

One of the challenges over at Sweet Peach Crop Shop last week was to use ink, mist or paint in a different way. I did one of my wedding layouts with ink this way, but this time I decided to use paint. Cody is always riding his 4-wheeler through the mud, so I squirted down some paint and then ran one of his little trucks through it to recreate the look of mud. I also put some splatters around the title and spread them out with the pointy end of my paint brush. Thanks for the challenge!

last anniversary sketch

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!

Doodle-I-do

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!

Baby pic 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!

sketch challenge 3

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!

sketch challenge 2

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!

Scene challenge

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!
