SCY: Wastin' Away

Have you seen Ali's new challenge at Sketches: Creatively Yours yet? You'll not want to miss participating in this one because there is a great prize to be won!

Here's my take:

Journaling: Love the beach life. Love the music. I think I'm never more relaxed than when I'm at a JB concert with a drink in my hand. Too bad you can't make a living out of it!

Chinese Mountain Sunset

I created this for my sister!

SCY: Fall 2012

Hop over to Sketches: Creatively Yours to see this week's sketch and interpretations!

SCY: Happy 8th birthday!

I made this card for my medium daughter's birthday last week. Thanks, Sketches: Creatively Yours, for the inspiration!

SCY: In a Flash

Ali has a new sketch up at Sketches: Creatively Yours!

Journaling: We should call you Lightning. You finished the Short Pump Race in 3rd place out of about 100 girls your age. You are excited to do cross-country next year at school. Obviously, you are going to excel! Your time for the mile was 8:01. Go Bella!

 

Obviously my color inspiration was the green in the peacock. :)

SCY: Mothers Tea

Ali has a new sketch up at Sketches: Creatively Yours!

I made this layout based on a tea at my son's school last spring. It was a lovely morning!

Journaling:

You worked so hard for a month on writing stories, drawing pictures, and reading poetry to get ready for the Mother's Tea in Mrs. Carlton's 3rd grade language arts. The morning was amazing! I am so lucky to be your mom!

SCY: Mother Nature

I didn't drop off the face of the Earth, but I think my scrapping mojo did. I'm hopeful that this will kick-start it though...

I'm back on the DT at Sketches: Creatively Yours!

I'm so excited to be back with Ali. Her work is amazing, just as her personality.

Please visit to see what the other designers did when you have time!

Here is my most recent layout:

Journaling:
You slept through it all, but at 1:51pm on August 23, we had an earthquake. B was on the computer playing on the American Girl website, and Z and I were playing Brain Quest. I initially thought it was a truck or motorcycle next door or a train out back, until Z asked what that noise was. I never before imagined an earthquake as being loud, but it definitely had a dull roar to it. After I few seconds, I said, “I think it’s an earthquake,” and B screamed. I didn’t think until afterwards that we should have headed to the downstairs bathroom, but we huddled together in the living room until it passed. It probably lasted 30-40 seconds, but I was grateful once I could tell it was subsiding. Daddy was at work and went outside after the plants and shelves started shaking. I can’t imagine living somewhere that this occurs often. Ridiculously, I once said that I wished I could be in a small earthquake just to know what it felt like… I hope that’s the only one that ever finds me. While it wasn’t terrifying, it definitely disturbed the big kids because there were lots of questions for the rest of the day about how earthquakes happen. Just days after the earthquake, Hurricane Irene went through, and we lost power for almost 2 full days… played LOTS of games on Saturday, lit candles, and made shadow puppets.
