Sketchy Thursdays & Scrapbookers Anonymous

I've been working on several layouts these days, but I just haven't had a chance to post them! I've got a few to share today. My first is my take on this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch.

The adorable sketch:


I decided to work on some Valentine photos. I've been trying to get everything from last Februray (2010) scrapped. I loved this froggy in the photos, and I used some cute froggy love paper from last year's K & Company Valentine stack. LOVE all the cute little animals in it! I wanted a border around the froggy paper, so I got out my paints and just messy-painted a red & pink border. I've never done that before, but I'll definitely be doing it again :)


I LOVE the banner in the sketch! I've been inspired to do a lot of banners lately...I just love the look of them!



I also created this next layout for the current challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous. It was to scrap a "hard to scrap" color. Obviously, I chose purple! I love the color, but it is hard to scrap. Since Paige was wearing a purple shirt, I went with it and tried to pull out as much of my purple stash as I could! I accented with a sky turquoise blue, which I love.

I have so many pre-made flowers that I need to use! I'm so happy some of my old Prima flowers went perfectly with this color & layout! They're such a pretty color.

I've really been into buttons lately, with a floss bow tied through. I love them!


Thanks for stopping by! I will have more to share with you throughout the week!

    Both of your lo's are adorable! I love the banner on your ST lo and the cute little froggie, and I think the use of the purple on your 2nd lo turned out great!
