Lift the Layout Above You

Every once in a while, someone over at Studio Calico posts a "Lift the Layout Above You" thread. You reply with "I'm in" or something similar, and then whoever posted below you chooses one of your layouts to "lift" (use some or all of the elements to make a layout of your own). You do the same with the person who posted above you.

I posted under Kimber-Leigh
I chose the layout "At Night" to lift, first of all because it is very pretty and I felt the elements worked really well with the Daydream Believer kit from Studio Calico. It was also a fairly straight forward design, and as I totally forgot about this challenge until today (the due date) I needed to get it done in a hurry.

Here is Kimber-Leigh's layout:

And here is what I pulled together:

You can see it at Studio Calico here

I also thought I would share Just g's lift of my layout
She chose this layout to lift:

Home Alone

And she took inspiration from the loopy twine and came up with this:

Loopy

What a fun challenge :)

New URL

I figured out that I could change my blog URL
Not many people have the link, so I am not really losing out that much, and I had become tired of the blog URL that I chose when I first started Scrapbooking.

I think this new URL is more fun, and hopefully, more me!

PageMaps Sketch Contest 13.02.12

Another sketch...another layout

This one is for the latest sketch contest on the PageMaps blog

I knew as soon as I saw this sketch what pictures I wanted to use. The puppies are German Shepherd x Golden Lab and they are at the SPCA where Steve and I volunteer walking dogs. We had walked their mama on a previous week before they knew she was pregnant and we really liked her, and what is not to like about these adorable puppies! This and kittens are one of the perks volunteering at the SPCA, I love cuddling them :)

Anyways...

 Here is the sketch from Becky Fleck

And here is my take on it

PS. This is from the February kit "Daydream Believer" from Studio Calico. I am loving the kits and all the inspiration from the message boards!

As always....TFL!

What I've Been Up To

....ok so I haven't stopped scrapbooking all of a sudden, I have just been very lazy with blogging. I have recently become a subscriber to Studio Calico kits and so far am loving it. I have just received my second kit and am looking forward to getting a clean desk so I can break into it.

Here are some of my layouts from the past month:

For the Sunday Sketch challenge on the Studio Calico blog.  P.S. I won a 5 dollar gift card in the draw :)
