Sketchbook Day 2 & 3

Back with more KP Sketchbook Sketches!! :)

This first one is my favorite that I've done in awhile...and it's really very simple!

It was just a matter of some lines, a few photos, and the thought bubbles! And yeah, I took a few liberties calling it a convo but I'm not bothered. They're what literally popped into my head when I started thinking about these photos and the page.

This is hands down my favorite photo of my boyfriend and my nephew. He just looks so little next to him! And then the look he's giving him, it just makes me laugh!

The title letters are a foam Thicker and were originally an aqua color. But I altered them with some blue chalk in because I thought a darker title would work better on here.

So this next page...well, I like it.

But I'm not really in love with it.

It's one of those forced layouts where I should have just called it a day, but instead plowed forward on it anyhow.

It isn't half bad or anything, I actually like the silly puns. And of course my sweet boy is adorable!
I probably should have slept on it ;)

Mr & Mrs

So I have some exciting news....

One of my bestest friends in the whole wide world is now married!! Congratulations to my dear old roomie Sarah who's now calling herself a wife! Ah, so weird! But I'm so happy for her and her new husband, Andy (a navy man what! what!)

I completely scraplifted Sarah's gift thanks to the lovely Tami's My Favorite Photo layout. It was just perfection! And a great way to showcase and emphasize a single photo, which in this case is of the happy couple on the day of their engagement.

And since I loved the layout so much, I had to scraplift it twice!! I've been wanting to frame some of my pages and put them around the apartment and this will be the first.

Isn't Studio Calico's State Fair line just gorgeous?! Thanks for stopping by and my sincere apologies for the hiatus!

Project 12: Feb & Mar

So one's a bit late and the other is just on time :)

Such is life!

Here are my latest additions to Project 12!

February was all about love

...and pink and turquoise

...and a trip to San Francisco!

...and catching up with old friends :)

and celebrating my first in person Valentine's with MT <3

So overall very fun and happy.

I decided to use my divided 4x6 page protectors for this month's layout. It's is the first time I've ever done this type of layout, so I'm not quite sure how I feel. I don't think I'm so great with smaller spaces and making music of cluttered jumbled messes, but I think it works for this project.

I even got to cleverly include the top from our Sprinkles cupcake box!

One of my favorite little details are those plastic hearts. They're from a heart slinky if you can believe it!

I was out shopping for Urijah's birthday decorations at Party City with my Mama when I picked up the slinky and carried it around the store. I loved the color! At the cash register, Ireverted to a 6 year old and bugged her to buy it for me (it must have been less than $1). She thinks I'm crazy....

But look Ma, I put it to good use!

And now on to March. I was all over the place in March! Literally, all over the place. I was in London for training, the English countryside for touring, Scotland for work meetings, and Istanbul for holiday! I loved every single second of it, but remembered what it's like to live out of a suitcase.

I used the back end of last month's divided page protectors for this month's layout.

It seems I'm really into writing on photos. Which btw, if you haven't purchased an American Crafts Slick Writer do so now! They write like budd'a (butter in some sort of accent...)

This one feels a bit more hodge podge to me but I like the color scheme! Lime, Teal, Blue, and Pink is now one of my faves.

Perhaps I'll be on time for next month.

But somehow I doubt it...

Until next time.

Cheers!
