Last day of sketches...

Today is the last sketch for our

Sassy Lil' Send Off Event

at 

Sassy Lil' Sketches.

"Together" is my DT layout for yesterday's awesome layout sketch:

I imagine that Chase is telling the sock monkey,

"Dude, one day I will be bigger than you!"

I am sure this picture will grace a page for my 

scrapbook with that as the title since this one

is for Chase's scrapbook.  

Supplies:

Paper, Tags & Stickers ~Authentique

Cardstock ~ Bazzill

Brads ~ MM 

******

I am not sure if you have heard,

last week Cherie & I announced the closing

of Sassy Lil' Sketches.  This final 

Sassy Lil' Send Off Event is our way of 

going out with a bang & being able to

showcase our designers just one last time.

All of the sketches have now been posted &

everyone has until midnight on Oct. 23rd

to upload their layouts or cards for this event

in order to be eligible for one of eight 

Sassy Lil' Ebook prizes.  

Auntie

Lily is the best Auntie ever!

I am not biased, not one little bit, nope.

She is patient. She changes diapers. She reads to Chase.

She helps with baths. She sings him silly songs.

This layout is of Lily & Chase in the first few days of his life.

She was an awesome Auntie from the start!

I was inspired to create this layout after seeing Eleni's wonderful

DT layout based on a sketch at Get Creative.

Supplies:

Cardstock ~ Core'dinations

PP ~ Webster's Papers & Scenic Route & Misc.

Chipboard ~ Cosmo Cricket & Misc.

Alphas ~ Pink Paislee

Mimi & Gramps

If you are one of my regular blog followers you know that 

Scott & I became grandparents this past May. 

We are very proud grandparents!  

"Mimi & Gramps" is for Chase's scrapbook. Over the past

few weeks I have started working on some simple & sweet pages

for his book. They will definitely be making an appearance here!

While there is a story behind the names "mimi" and "gramps,"

it is a story to be told for my scrapbook.  Chase doesn't really 

need to know how vain his Mimi was in refusing to be called 

"Grandma" at 40.  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Paper: Studio Calico

Alphas: American Crafts & Pink Paislee

Ticket: Jenni Bowlin
