I have been invited to host the sketch challenges over at the Christian Paper Craft Magazine Forums! I am so excited and hope that you will pop over to join in! Every Tuesday I will post the sketch and best of all I am posting the digital template for you to download as well!!
These sketches can be used for layouts, cards or any project you would like to use them on....turn them, embellish them and really make them yours! I love sketches...they really help to get my pages going sometimes! If you make something with one of my templates please send a link! I would love to see it!

Here is this weeks sketch! And you can download it here!


Here is what I did with the sketch. I took an american crafts 6x6 mini album and altered it. I have been wanting to make a mini album of our trip to creation in 2005 (yes I am that far behind!) And this will be perfect for that!!

So come on over to the Christian Paper Craft Forum and play along with this weeks sketch!!

Challenge 18 at JS was to do a page about a goal. As I have been studying about being holy and striving to figure out what that looks like in my life I thought I would do a mini album with the verses I am reading and some quotes that really speak to me. This will be a great reminder to me of my goal to be holy. And believe me I need moment to moment reminders on this!!!














I used a 7 gypsies rubber band album and then some basic grey and we r memory keepers papers. Lots of fun ribbon and embellys and tags. I took the inside pages which were cream and used a technique I just learned over at 2 peas. Jennifer McGuire is doing a wonderful video class on inking over there for the rest of the month....and it's free! Check it out here Inking Class
I took distress ink and the inking tool and worked the spiced marmalade ink all over the paper. I love the way it looks.....very cool and easy. I even inked one of the flowers up in this way.
Looks like rain again today....more time to scrap...but the kids are bouncing of the walls!!!

Have a blessed day!!

Well I finished a really quick mini album. These are pics from our trip to Cancun in 2005....I have been wanting to get these into an album and when I heard of photo album scrapbooking...I knew it would be a fast way to get this done. Photo album scrapbooking is taking a regular album here I used a cute one from target that was 2 up, and combining it with embellishments and journaling. Stacy Julian from Big Picture scrapbooking talks about this and it is a great way to do a cute album quickly! Sorry about the glare from the page protectors....

Things have been quiet here...I've been busy with life. We just found out my Dad has cancer so I have been processing that and trying to be supportive to my Mom. Out of that desire came this little album....now we know that God is in control and my families faith is being strengthened through it all....but I thought it would be good for my Mom to have at her fingertips some key scripture that speaks to her and will help her to keep her focus on Gods strength especially when hers is weak.
So I have made this badge album for her to keep in her purse. The scripture cards are done digitally and I can change them for her when she would like. The album is made from plastic badge holders I picked up at Staples, rings and ribbon. Very simple but it came out really cute. It should fit in a purse easily!
If you happen by please send up a prayer for my Dad, we would really appreciate it!!
