a summer I want to remember

Sometimes I really like using sketches that I can use multiple pictures...I had this bunch but couldn't really use them one at a time since they were all taken from afar...that's what happens when your at an amusement park LOL I really wanted to document this trip since it was the first time she ever went on any of the adult rides and actually enjoyed herself! She was always so afraid to get on any of these even the log flume...btw I love the picture of her looking like a drown rat (bottom picture)!

I used the sketch from sketches with a twist (the twist is to use washi tape) and the color palette from the color room,this is the first time really using a main piece of chipboard.....I got it in the mail yesterday and remembered the challenge over at sketching with a twist and thought it was the perfect piece!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Love of a child

I am so glad I stumbled upon the sketch at Sketches with a twist....since I had a stack of pictures that had quit a few I wanted to use at once....then there is the challenge at Get Creative for Valentines day all about Love which is a joint effort with scrap and grab so I this layout will be list for all three.....All of these were taken July 2002...that shirt she is wearing...Oh my gosh I wanted to burn that thing,she wore it all the time...I think I still have it in a box in my shed! the center picture is my absolute favorite...I can still hear her laugh there isn't a day that doesn't go by without thinking of her but I know she is always in my heart and in my memories! My oldest (Sammi) and I had a wonderful time with this page she convinced me that less was more on this one...

Sketches with a twist the twist is to use chevrons and of course mine are so obvious...lol Here is the sketch I used....

So for Get Creative and  scrap and grab I based the whole thing on the love of my daughter Stephanie...

 I fussy cut some flowers from another set of papers since I really didn't think I would use then other wise...

 the doilies were another bargain find at the thrift store...I got red hearts and white ones 3 different sizes, and there were so many for just a $1 I have no clue what I am gonna do with all of them LOL

  Just a close up of the puffy hearts that I thought I would never use but they seem to fit here!

thanks for taking a peek!
