Summer flashback..S'mores and a sketch....

Today up on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog I have a new sketch that I designed.  I wanted to do something different than how my pages normally look, so I came up with a fun design which you can see HERE.

On my page I used the Pebbles "Lakeside" collection (probably one of my favorite summer collections EVER!).  There were some perfect S'mores stickers for my page and I love the "woodsy" feel of the papers.

I also used a few tags from Elle's Studio, too!

 Oh, and here is a little something about my page...I had another photo, but it just wasn't working on my design, so I stuck some paper on it and tucked it behind the journaling area for a pull out card!  I love doing this when my photos don't seem to sit on my pages!

Have a great weekend!

Summer Memories

Last week I posted about how much I love the "Lakeside" collection from Pebbles and today I am going to share some more layouts that I made!  The kids love running up and down the dock and jumping off of it into the water!  I wanted to use a really big photo to capture the size of the dock.

I used every piece of patterned paper that came in this collection on this page.  With the large photo, I was able to use a lot of the patterns together and still not distract from it.  

I simply cut a whole bunch of strips of paper and distressed them all and started layering them down the sides of the photo.  Then I machine stitched down the edges of my photo.

 I just layered a few simple embellishments and stickers to top it off and kept it simple in that department!

At the Car Wash...

Want to know how to entertain a 2 year old and a 4 year old for 2 hours? Some dishsoap, water, and washcloths...then tell them it's a car wash! Works every time!

 I used some papers from Pebbles "Lakeside", and Echo Park, too.

I love the layout of this page!  I was of course inspired by today's sketch on the blog!  You can check it out HERE.

I've also been trying to use some bits in my stash here and there: some old stickers from Sassafrass and October Afternoon, fabric brads and transparencies from Basic Grey, and alphas from Heidi Swapp and Lily Bee.
