Sketches In Thyme #93

Good morning everyone!!  It's time for me to share the newest sketch with you from Sketches In Thyme!  I absolutely adore the look of this sketch and I'm totally loooooving the way my page turned out to be...

Supplies: Crate Paper Paper Heart Collection - Petals, Define, Cupid, Delivery; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Tim Holtz Distress Marker - Walnut Stain; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Pretty Pink; Studio Calico Stamps - Circles From The Brownie Kit; American Crafts/Amy Tangerine Stamps - Hey There; Ali Edwards Stamps - Life In Pictures, Love Ali, Adored; Fiskars Circle Punches; EK Success Photo Corner Punch

Seriously how awesome is that??  I had this wonderful picture of my daughter and niece going on a walk together and it worked perfectly here.  Instead of using hexagons, I used an arrangement of circles on my page along with a FABULOUS new stamp set from Studio Calico and it all came together so awesomely!  I can't keep looking at it. ;)

So how do you like the sketch??  If you love it like I do, you should go get creative with it and then link up your page to be entered to win a prize!  You have until 11/30, so still plenty of time.  Have fun with it and thanks for stopping by for a visit!  Oh and if you're around in just a little while, I'll be sharing my newest layout for Miracles Momma Designs...

MMD Sketch #25

Hello there my friends!! I'm really sorry that it's been such a long time since you've heard from me but I promise it's for a good reason...we bought a house!  We closed on the 17th of last month and have spent the last 3 weeks getting everything packed up and moved.  It's been CRAZY.  We're finally starting to get everything in it's place though and it feels absolutely amazing!  We couldn't be any happier. :)

Sooooooo I totally missed sharing the last sketch from Miracles Momma Designs with you.  I'm sure you won't mind it being a little late though because this one ROCKS!

Supplies: Studio Calico Sunny Side Up Paper; American Crafts Shoreline Collection - Vera; October Afternoon Woodland Park Collection - Blue Sky, Gooseberry Falls; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Tim Holtz Distress Marker - Walnut Stain; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Estate Green, Custard, Calico White, Pretty Pink; AC/Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Roller Date Stamp; EK Success Embossed Curve Border Punch; Fiskars/Jenni Bowlin Tab Punch; Fiskars Flit On By Butterfly Punch; Basic Grey Konnichiwa Chipboard Alphas; Basic Grey Button

I am SO in love with the way this layout came together. I took these awesome pictures of my girls with my niece before and after an egg hunt at my mom's house this year and they worked perfectly with the sketch when I turned it sideways. I also got to play with Studio Calico's Summer of '69 kit which I recently won and had so much fun!

So what do you think of the sketch? Do you love it too? If you do and you create something with it, we'd love to see! You can link us up over at the Miracles Momma Designs blog and we'll pop by for a visit and leave you some love. ;) Thank YOU for popping by to see me today!
