July Double Page Sketch with Stick It Down

Welcome to July! YAY for bonfires and fireworks! I’ve always loved celebrating the 4th of July with my family at our lake cabin! I hope you have a great time with yours too!

This month, we have a great multi-photo sketch from Stick It Down that I wanted to share!

I definitely used the flower theme to create my layout about a castle we visited in Slovenia last summer. I decided on a pretty floral cut file to create a focal point for the layout. I’m also loving Paige Evan’s line “Bloom Street” and I added some gorgeous die cut flowers from her new line!

June Challenge from Rochelle Spears and Scrap With Stacy:

I’ve been slacking a little bit, but I did get time to participate in this one challenge from Rochelle Spears and Scrap with Stacy! Rochelle had a great sketch and Stacy had a fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge this month! For the Tic-Tac-Toe board I chose: Teal, Heart, Paint

Here’s Rochelle’s sketch and Stacy’s Tic-Tac-Toe board:

Here’s what I came up with:

I’m still working on scrapbooking our trip through Europe, but I’m moving on to documenting my next country: Slovakia! We loved our time spent in Bratislava and how relaxed the Slovakian culture seemed. I would love to go back and explore more of the country again!

If you would like to hear more about my trip to Europe, click the “Globetrotting” tab at the top and then select what country your interested in reading about! I scrapbook all my travels too so, check out my blog page and enjoy! 🙂

June Double Page Layout from Stick It Down

Ahh…Summertime is here! Or at least the start of some beautiful weather! I love summer because it allows me to spend time with my family at our lake house. There is no better place to be, in my opinion! 🙂

Here is our sketch from Stick It Down for the month of June! I absolutely loved this sketch! The triangular shapes are so unique!

Here was my take on the sketch! I turned the triangles into diamond shapes and moved the pictures to the center of the page. I felt that it drew my eye more centrally. Hopefully you like my take on it! 🙂

This page was about a day we spent in beautiful Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was a gorgeous city with so many neat things to see!

Have a great day!

May Challenge from Scrap Our Stash

I stumbled across this fun sketch challenge from Scrap Our Stash this month and decided to play along! I guess one great thing about quarantining is I have more time to scrapbook! 🙂 I included some patterned paper with hearts in it as the background and then one heart embellishment at the top of the circle.

Here’s a look at the sketch and challenge requirements:

Here’s what I ended up creating:

I’m still trying to finish my Europe scrapbook before our lives turn upside down with a new baby in October! Haha! I am sooo excited for our new little bundle of joy to arrive, but I know that my scrapping time will probably decrease a bit. I’m trying to make the most of it right now 🙂

Thanks for swinging by my blog and I hope you get to play along with the challenge at Scrap Our Stash this month!

May Sketch from Let’s Get Sketchy

Welcome to May! Another month and another great sketch! Although, it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that this will be my last month with Let’s Get Sketchy. I’ve been with this blog for about a year and a half and have loved it, but it’s time for me to move on to other things. 🙂 Like being a MOM! I’m so excited for a new adventure!

Let’s check out the sketch this month!

I decided to rotate the sketch and modify it a bit to fit my needs, but I love how it turned out!

This simple page is highlighting a beautiful day that my husband and I spent in Verona, Italy in the summer of 2019. Verona was a charming city with an old world Italian feel. We swung through Verona after touring Milan and before heading to Venice. If you would like to hear more about my trip to Italy click here! I love sharing about my travels!

I hope you liked my layout and that you decide to play along with our challenge at Let’s Get Sketchy this month! Ciao for now!

May Double Page Layout from Stick It Down

Finally, it’s MAY! I’ve always loved this month because that means school is winding down and summer is just around the corner. Doesn’t hurt that my birthday is also in May 😉

Here’s a new double page sketch from Stick It Down that we get to play with this month! I love using double page sketches to document my trip memories. This one is perfect for that! Check it out:

Here’s what I decided to do with the sketch (the 2nd time!) Yep, sometimes we make something and then hate it and have to start over until we love it. That was me and this layout, but the good news is now I love it! 🙂

My layout is documenting our recent trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia! We loved this little city (and the beautiful country) and had a great day exploring this castle on top of the mountain. If you would like to hear more about our time in Slovenia click here!

As always, thanks for swinging by my blog this month! I hope you have a fantastic spring and that you get a chance to play along with our sketch challenge this month!

April Challenge from Rochelle Spears

Well. Quarantine Week 3 has given me more time to scrapbook (that’s a positive thing right?) so I decided to play along with Rochelle’s challenge! I love your sketches Rochelle! They always inspire me! 🙂

Here’s her fun sketch:

Here’s my take on it:

If you’ve been around my blog at all, you know that I love creating two-page layouts–especially of my travels. So, I simply copied the same sketch for the second page.

This page is highlighting some of our favorite “Venice Moments”. Venice is such a beautiful city to get lost in! If you’re interested in hearing more about my time in Venice you can click here! In our most recent trip to Italy, we also visited Milan and Verona, so check out those posts too! Italy is such a beautiful country with so much to see!

Alright, that’s it for me! I hope you have a beautiful day! Ciao!

April Double Page Layout from Stick It Down

Finally, things are starting to look like spring! I feel so rested coming off our recent Spring Break, I’m ready to get back in the swing of things again! I hope you had a great March and were maybe able to sneak off somewhere on Spring Break too!

Here’s our new sketch from Stick It Down!

This one challenged me a little, so here’s what I came up with:

Milan! What a great city! We had such a fabulous (but hot!) time there last August. If you are interested in hearing more about our adventure, click here to find out more! Milan has some amazing sites and experiences just waiting to be had.

That’s all for now! Thanks for visiting!

April Sketch from Let’s Get Sketchy

Ok now it should be officially spring right? Let’s get this snow melted and gone! <—-If you haven’t figured out, I live in the north! Minnesota to be exact. And we are certainly clamoring for spring to come!

Here’s a new challenge to launch us into spring from Let’s Get Sketchy!

I love the doily design that frames this layout! Here’s what I came up with:

I chose to add more pictures on a second page (and because I love scrapping two page layouts)! So here’s the final result!

Ahh…Venice is so lovely and I enjoyed every minute that I spent in this charming city! And I would go back in a heartbeat! If you’d like to hear more about my trip to The Floating City click here! I also have lots of other posts about destinations I’ve been fortunate enough to visit so check out my Globetrotting tab above!

March Double Page Layout from Stick It Down

We are flying through 2020 aren’t we? Wow, here comes a new month! I hope you are ready for a new sketch from Stick It Down. This one will give you the opportunity to use lots of photos, which is perfect for me, because I seem to love including as many as I can!

Here’s our sketch for the month:

Isn’t that little leprechaun cute? Here’s what I decided to do with the sketch:

As you can see, I’m still scrapping my way through our trip to Europe last summer. We stopped briefly in Frankfurt, Germany and spent the afternoon exploring the Medieval buildings in the Romerburg area. If you ever have a chance to visit this beautiful place, check out my blog post about Frankfurt, Munich and Berchtesgaden National Park in Bavaria here. I love to share about my adventures and of course scrapbook them!

Thanks for stopping by this month! Have a great March!
