When Pigs Fly

Howdy Scrappy Friends!  For the month of September at Unique Crafters our challenge is "Anything Goes". That's right...anything! How easy is this challenge? I'm very excited to join the team for another term. I decided to play with my G45 paper I just bought. It's not a line I normally choose, but it had PIGS on it! If you know me, you know my addiction to pigs. Fuzzy Pigs, Ceramic Pigs, Pig Slippers, Pig Mittens..the list goes on! So when I saw this paper...well I couldn't resist.  I just smiled the whole time I was working on this one! I'm also entering this in a challenge over at Artful Delight.

Family - Frosted Designs

Today at Frosted Designs we have a new sketch reveal. I love when I see a sketch that looks frilly and I look at those flowers and go...YEAH! I just can't help doing wedding layouts when I see a romantic sketch. Remember I do have 1100 of them, lol. This is a photo of Chris, Nicole, Michael (Chris's dad), my husband Clint and myself. We are now one big family! I know summer if flying by, but I hope you can stop by and play along with us!

To Draw You Must Close Your Eyes and Sing

It's Monday!! That means another sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy! Thanks to Bev, we had this fabulous sketch to work with. When I saw this photo of Ryan & Ashley, I knew I just had to scrap it. They take the funnest photos! With the black and white they were wearing I thought I would go for the vintage look and use up the rest of my Graphic 45. I hope you can join us this week, I love to see my friends layouts! So everyone, enjoy your day, hope the sun is shining!

Dominican

When I saw the sketch at Once Upon A Sketch with the journaling prompt for holidays or vacations, I knew exactly which photo I wanted to use. My HIDDEN JOURNALING is in the envelope on the right side of the photo and it reads: Our family took a much needed vacation to the Dominican Republic. Our children wanted to just lay on the beach and tan. Mom had a different idea. If we were going to travel 3,355 miles/ 5,399 km. we were going to see more than just the beach! I believe in not just traveling to different countries but learning about their cultures and social backgrounds. I wanted to see where they lived, where they go to school, what were their living conditions. We toured for a day through the country side visiting the local children bringing them gifts to help them in school. At the end of our holiday I asked our children what was their favourite part, and they both said it was when we took our tour and they got to see how Dominican children lived. They really stopped and took a moment to reflect on how different their lives were living in Canada. We met this little girl that day...she stole my heart. She rides to school each day on a donkey from her village. It makes you stop and realize just how blessed we are. We think of her often and would love to visit her again.
