November Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

And here we go into November….and all things holiday related! YAY! I’ve always loved the holidays and yes my Christmas tree is up lonnggg before December. Anyway, we have another fun sketch for you this month at Stick It Down!

I’m a little ahead (or behind) on my seasons, so I’m actually scrapbooking Valentine’s Day! Haha! That’s the great thing about scrapbooking is you can celebrate different things all throughout the year 😉

Here’s what I came up with!

She’s adorable isn’t she? I’m so grateful for her every day! Hope you can join us in our challenge this month!

October Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Welcome to October! Every year I think of the Anne of Green Gables quote, “I’m so glad to live in a world where there are Octobers!” I’ve always loved the fall for it’s beautiful colors, BUT now I also love it because my baby girl was born in this wonderful month! She gets to celebrate her 1st birthday in a few weeks! YAY!

To commemorate her first year, I’ve been scrapping her baby photos like crazy! Hopefully I can keep up with my kids’ scrapping as the years go by!

Here’s the Stick IT Down sketch that I used for inspiration:

And here is what my layout turned out like! Man, was she tiny! You can see that I exchanged that elephant embellishment in place of a photo. With the photos I had, it just seemed to work better.

Thanks so much for swinging by my blog! I hope you’re feeling inspired and that you join our challenge this month! Have a wonderful October 🙂

September Scrap Our Stash Challenge

I couldn’t pass up playing along with Scrap Our Stash’s monthly challenge. I loved their fun sketch! Check it out here below before scrolling down to see what I came up with. Here’s the link for their challenge: http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/

Here’s the layout that I created! My daughter was quite the puker (I’m sure she’ll love me for creating this page later!) so I had to document when my husband caught quite the spit up after one of her feedings!

Thanks for swinging by to look!

September Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Month number 9 of 2021 is here! And lookout, I have an adorable page to show off today…I’m totally biased but all of my baby girl’s pages are just too stinking cute! 🙂

But, before I reveal my fabulous page for the month let’s look at our sketch from Stick it Down!

Cute right? I loved the flowers and decided to copy them! Here’s what I created:

Isn’t my baby (who’s now 11 months!) just the cutest thing ever?! Proud Mama over here! 🙂

I hope this layout inspired you to create something fun for yourself this month! Thanks for swinging by!

I felt inspired this month and decided to play along with Rochelle Spears’ sketch challenge and Stacy’s Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. And their joint Scrappy Friends Challenge! I’m working hard on scrapbooking my baby girl’s first year before she turns 1! Here’s Rochelle’s sketch that I copied:

And here is Stacy’s Tic Tac Toe board. I included twine, circles and stickers on my layout!

Ok so here’s the layout I ended up with:

July Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

I hope you had fun joining us for Stick It Down’s Instagram hop last weekend! I know I did! What a fun way to celebrate our wonderful blog’s anniversary!

Here’s our next double page sketch challenge that is highlighting my family celebrating the 4th of July last year! Our family tradition is to spend some time at our cabin, eat some yummy food, and play dirty Bingo! If you look closely at my photos you’ll see my Uncle posing with his prize (yes…it’s a jock strap) on his head! My family is a blast 😉

Here’s the sketch for July:

Here’s my take on the sketch!

This sketch is absolutely perfect for highlight many photos, so I hope you play along!
