Running Scared - ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday Team A REVEAL

Hi there!

TGIF
Today is a BIG day here at Casa Ramirez

It is my Daddy's (aka Papa) BIRTHday and

Santa arrives in Huntsville - YES, it's our Santa Clause Parade

(we are one of the small towns that still do it at night)

....and Roman arrives - our Elf on the Shelf

And ScrapMuch?

has a new double sketch

Sketch-y Friday

here is my REVEAL:

Running Scared

Another check off the ol'bucket list!

We did it!! We did the Running Scared Zombie Run

(...and I was...SCARED!! - I am NOT a runner or go to the gym)

but I DID a 5km obstacle run

Left side close-up and you'll see, I used my number with the pins 

 Right side close up

 It tells my story!

I used a free cut file from Nicole Nowosad @ Scrapbook and Cards Today

I used the Zombie Font cut file for my title

 This is Diana and I, finally getting to the finish line - our first

2014 RUN (...and my last)

 we even made it into the local newspaper!!

Here is Laura's fantastic sketch:

ScrapMuch? December Sketch-y

This is what I like to refer to as the "tell-my-story" sketch/layout

here, you have an opportunity to use "all" your photos to tell 

your story - done strategically, you really don't need a lot of journal-ing!!

I can't wait to see what YOU do with this sketch

For this sketch, you have a few extra days to get your craft on

You have until December 29th 

to play along and LINK up for your

chance to WIN

Thank you for stopping by

Snow day - Sketches4All + Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

Hi there 

I had some time, as we recover from 3 straight SNOW DAY's

I found  a couple of challenges
to keep me warm and allow me to rest from all the snow removal!!

Snow day

 These photos were taken in February during our Family Day outting
We met up with our "Muskoka" Family for a day of snowshoeing and a BBQ on the lake

 A silhouette cut file title with some twine

 I used some acrylic snowflakes along with torn cardstock and Stickles
for the "glistening" snow effect

Snowflake with a button and twine (more Stickles)

Here are the challenges I played along with:
Sketches 4 All
Sharon Bessinger

My Challenge this Month 4+ Pictures Layout, and Twine

I was challenged with this as I had already printed my photos 4x6
(and didn't think to do a double LO - HA!)
then I found this awesome sketch:

Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

(my first visit)

Nov 15th Sketch Challenge

It was a GREAT start to my Scrappy-Get-Away RETREAT!

 - 3 days of BLISS at The Elmhurst Inn

BOO! LGS Week 3 - Team A REVEAL

HI there!

Sharing my
Let's Get Sketchy

Team A
REVEAL

BOO!  LGS Week 3

This is my Boy playing around with glow-in-the-dark glasses!

I started with black cardstock and used a White mist to create a 

charcoal effect (to blend in with Pink Paislee stickers)

 The title is a Silhouette cut file that I corrugated and added 

 large googly eyes and a chalk marker

my paper straw adds a little emphasis to my title

 DIY embelly (button + Fancy Pants Mini Alphas + Cardstock + Glossy Accents)

some chevrons, glasses and twine - perfect!

Our Boy makes us "laugh" my rub-on was a perfect

way to "capture this moment"

Here is the SKETCH by Jenessa:

LGS November Week 3

I also played along with 

Scrap Our Stash

November Stash Challenge #20

• 5 - patterned papers
• 4 - cardstock stickers
• 3 - #'s (2014)
• 2 - rub-on's (actually 3)

I can't wait to see what YOU do with this sketch

#Proof he's CUTE - Stuck?! Sketches GDT

Hi there 

There is a new sketch up at

STUCK?! Sketches

with an opportunity to 

Guest Design with Laura her very talented team

#Proof he's CUTE

 I am a bit of a hoarder and I keep everything - even the proofs

so...if I'm going to keep'em I should scrap'em

This year we were bouncing between 2 proofs 

(I used cork chevron pointing to the 2 and a double chevron on our choice)

PERFECT title using proof's  *she winks

with a lot of texture

#Proof he's CUTE 

 I had my little guy date my layout and add his thumb print!

I used two Little Yellow Bicycle wooden pins

"smile BOY"

(when we travel my son always get referred to as "The BOY" LoL)

 I glossy accented number one - with a cork arrow pointing

and used a bracket {5 6} for his age

Fancy Pants stickers to tab Grade 1

Here is the sketch:

Stuck?! Sketches Nov 1st

I kept true to the sketch using Simple Stories Year-o-graphy

LGS Team A REVEAL - OH Coconuts

Hi there

WOW! The 1st Monday in NOVEMBER

and here is my

TEAM A

Let's Get Sketchy
REVEAL

OH Coconuts

It has been cold and snowing (yes I said it)

Nothin' like a little burlap, 

with some sunny photos to warm me up.
I masked along the edges of the burlap in coffee ink

Ha!  I this title
(with emphasis on the "nuts" * she winks)
It's a mix of MME wood and cardstock
Another fun Dominican trip layout
(still working on that album)

  I journal-ed - my son just HAD to have a fancy drink from a
REAL coconut!!  What this resort to get him one....
They had to run 2 resorts over (as their trees did not have coconuts)
run all the way back and make a yummy drink inside!!

The umbrella makes it's fancy - right?!!

The DIY matching buttons, is a technique shared

by Laura Whitaker 
(see all the details at her Blog )
I wanted my buttons to match my Paper.
Perfect for this layout and so easy
This umbrella was a HUGE hit!
