Sketch time

After a long scrapping hiatus, it is always helpful to use sketches to get my creative juices flowing again! I saw this DT call at Let's Get Sketchy, and I really liked their sketches, so I figured I'd see what I could come up with:

This is the sketch:

















And here is my take:

















It feels so great to be playing with my supplies again and pulling out my sewing machine (which I've only ever used for paper lol!).

Thanks for stopping by!

Do blogs have an expiration date?

Ok, so it's been three years (three years!) since I've blogged, and sadly I haven't scrapbooked much within that three years. But, you guessed it...I've missed it. Greatly. I now officially have all three kids in school, and I'm ready to start carving out my creative time again because if I've learned anything in the last few years, it's that we have to nurture ourselves. And with that, we need to do the things that speak to our heart. Having a creative outlet was so valuable for me, and it feels so good to get back on the horse, so to speak.

I recently cleared off my scrap table, pulled out my supplies and just had at it. What a great feeling! And this was the end result... a layout about chloe and her bestie.
If anyone is even still getting notifications for this little 'old blog lol, I appreciate you visiting me, and I can't wait to check up on what the rest of my creative friends have been up to!
