Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #10

Good morning Everyone!  It's Design Team 2 week at Celebrate the Occasion and this week our challenge is a sketch challenge.  I'm not that great at sketches because I do not like to follow any rules when I scrapbook.  Yeah, I could have just made it easy on myself and made a card but that wouldn't be a challenge, would it!  Here is my layout for CTO Challenge #10.

I finally cut into my Green Stack from DCWV.  It was hard because I just wanted to keep it forever (yes that is the paper hoarder in me talking), but it matched the sketch pattern so well!  I had started out with several other ribbons for my tag, but they left too much bulk on the page.  I finally pulled out some of my new Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot.  It tied beautifully and because it is so delicate, it didn't leave a big bulge in my daughter's scrapbook! 

 This pic is from a camping trip several years ago.  My Oldest E, who was 2 at the time could not stay out of the trees for the entire hike.  She climbed one every few steps!  My kids are monkeys and they've had the surgeries to prove it!  My two oldest have both had displaced elbows from falls that required surgical pinning (thankfully it didn't happen on this fun camping trip).  You would think that would be enough to keep them grounded but no!  They climb every tree and everything else they possibly can!

Products Used:

• DCWV Green Stack
• Stampin' Up! Card Stock, Punch and Buttons
• Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge

I actually messed up on this challenge!  The challenge is supposed to be a birthday sketch.  Oppsies...I told you I don't do well with sketches!  They get me everytime!  Anyway, if your playing along, make sure it is a birthday themed project! 

Rain, Rain go away LO

Rain, Rain go away...well, not really!  We actually love to play in the rain!  My girls love to hold hands and sing this song while they play in it!  Today, the rain is too cold to play in but they are enjoying watching it fall!  I think this may be one of the plainest layouts I've ever made and I'm sure it is not finished!  I started it last night but my middle E had a bad dream so I stopped.  I went to lay down with her and never got back up!  When I came back to it today, I drew a blank so it is what it is!  No reason to dwell on it and waste precious scrapping time over it!  I decided to stitch it, leave it be and move on to other projects.  I'm sure when I go to add my picture it is going to change but for now, this is what I have!
