May Creative Scrappers Sketches!

I got all four Creative Scrappers sketches finished this month :) I'm very happy about that!
Here they are

Sketch #102

This one has hidden journaling under the lg pic at the top

sketch #103

this one was so much fun to do - the 'clear' bubbles are a transparency - I inked the edges blue to give them some dimension and so they would show up against the white

Sketch #104

do you sense are urgency to getting the baby album finished!?! thanks to these sketches and the crop and challenges at Skrap n Chat, I'm now officially done! woohooo - this was one of the last ones

Sketch #105

now that the baby album is finished,
I can get back to trying to catch up in the kids school albums! Here's Em's pic from this year - using leftover bits from the basic grey bloom and grow potm kit - and the little goodie bag I *won* at class yesterday :) I painted and inked the chipboard flowers, used some homemade glitz spray (that looks nicer IRL and made another felt flower - thanks again Suzie Q for the technique! :)

I did it!!!

I've finished my Week in the Life album!!!! This project has taken me from elation, excitement and joy, to frustration, sadness and...frustration!! lol but it is the most rewarding album I've ever finished - I absolutely love the finished project - it's not 'pretty' and not creative - it's just pictures and words with a bit of flair - it's going to be the most cherished albums on the shelf! Because of that - I've decided to do monthly layouts in the same format - starting with this year and working my way backwards - it's a lot of planning and organizing up front, but the putting together is much faster and easier than my usual scrapbooking - then my 'ordinary' pictures will be documented and I can concentrate on scrapbooking the pictures I love

here's the linke for my Week in the Life album
