Hail - SNS 30

Storms - I love them. A while back in the middle of August we had some crazy weather and it just started hailing...big giant hail and for quite a while too! I was able to get some good shots of the storm, lucky no damage for us.

Here are the photos

 

Here is the latest adorable sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap I hope you can find some inspiration. Make sure you go check out the blog and see what everyone came up with and then link up your own project.

Passages of time through Nashville

So remember that one time a long long time ago that I went to Nashville? Well I finally started scrapbooking the photos! I am about half way done and I am really enjoying how they are turning out. 

I thought about just doing them one by one so you wouldn't know what a bad scrapper I have been lately but then decided to show you both of these pages since they use the same paper.

One of the highlights of our trip was the tour of Studio B. It was pretty cool to think about all of the famous footsteps that have walked into that building and put their dreams out there. Many of them turned into a reality. Patsy Kline, Dolly Parton (who apparently put her car though the wall while trying to park), Elvis recorded there. Actually that piano in my photo's was his piano...just amazing to wander around in there. It was so tiny too.

We also ate at this tiny little place at the edge of a park that had the most amazing BBQ it specializes in white BBQ sauce. I had to try it and yep it was super yummy!  If you are ever in Nashville make sure you stop by and grab a bite at Hog Heaven.

Cherry O Sugar Pie

Today I am sharing a quick Sketch-n-Scrap page, I was so happy the whole time I made it and I knew it was going to just all come together.

These are just a few photos of my girls. They are just hanging out being extra adorable. I grabbed some Cherry-O paper. I think this paper always works with girl pages.

I have actually had this level 1 kit for a while but it was white and cherry's in every other space. I decided to fill in the cherry's and I love the way it turned out. I might take a second look at some other level ones I have and use them up too. I love getting new stuff but I also try to use up my old stuff too. I am doing much better. I no longer save it for the perfect layout. If i love it I use it now cause I can buy more or use the next new must have item.

I added some bling and a date. I need to work on my journalling but at least I have the date on here. Better than nothing.

Popped up the cherry's and added more bling

Love the way the title came out. 

Here is the sketch! Isn't it super cute? I hope you will join us and play along...and use up either something brand new or something you have been holding on to forever. 

Sweet on Hexagons

 I have been playing with my new goodies and I am just in love with this new set that has hexagons in it!

The set is called Honeycomb Flair and it is super fun!! I look forward to making lots more cards and pages in the near future but first up I have this sweet little card that I made when I was inspired by a Hero Arts card that I saw on Pinterest.

The set comes with all sorts of patterns and you can mix them and match them or use all the same one. I stamped them and then cut them out. There is also an outline if you wanted to go that route. Did you also notice that little wax looking bee hive? What about the little wooden bee? Both of those can be found in the Buzz and Bumble Assortment. I also used a sparkle from the brown & tan pack to make the bee stand out a little more.

I always like to decorate the insides of my cards too.

Here is the card that inspired me.



















I hope you enjoyed my card and have been inspired to make one of your own.

Wonderful Beautiful Day

Hi everyone happy March 1st. My grandma always says in like a lion out like a lamb or in like a lamb out like a lion...so we shall see what today brings and how March makes it's exit.

 

I have had these photo's for a while now, well since 2011. They are special and I have been trying to find the perfect way to scrap them for a while. I am actually in August and this is from April...so see I skipped it. Until I started working on today's sketch and with the new Buzz and Bumble Workshop on the Go Kit. It was a perfect match!

 

 

I used Sunset for the base and Cocoa and then I trimmed the pattern paper. I fancy cut the embellishments from the stamp set that comes with the kit. I colored the flowers in with my very neglected Prisma Colored Pencils.

I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with using this sketch!!
