Quiet Contemplation

Another totally cool, totally twisted sketch from Anam at Twisted Sketches!!! The twist this week is to use a punch. Punches are again very popular and I do love using them, especially border punches!

I chose to do a heritage page with this sketch. This is my beautiful grandmother when she was about 15. This photo is over 100 years old!!!

Hasan should be Shot for Treason!

The attack on our Army servicemen at Ft. Hood, TX just angers me to the point where I can't keep my thoughts to myself!!

Military service is a badge of honor in my family and has been for many, many generations. Our servicemen are True Heroes and should be held up as such.

Our servicemen should not have any reason to fear their fellow solders.
The Department of Defense should not recruit those who are not true patriots to our country.
The Department of Defense should be more vigilant and take quicker action against those muslims who declare support for foreign entities. I don't care how politically uncorrect that sounds!

Nidal Malik Hasan, an avowed muslim, who shouted Allahu Akbar before opening fire in a closed room on unarmed solders is A TERRORIST to our country and should be Shot for Treason!

This is My Blog and My Opinion!

Twisted Sketches

I am playing catch up on my blog. I have a great reason to be a little behind because I've been traveling around Germany and France for the last 2 1/2 weeks, including 5 days in Paris!!

These are layouts that I am very pleased with that. I just love Anam's sketches at Twisted Sketches and the twists are always fun.

This is Sketch # 21 and the Twist is using Alphas. Isn't Jake just the cutest!!

This is Sketch #19 and the twist is using ink.

Too Busy or Too Lazy to Blog!

I don't know which it is, but I have definitely been busy in my scraproom since I reorganized it. Amazing how productive I can be when I can find what I am looking for.

Anyway, I have been pumping out the cards and layouts and most of these were done because of awesome challenges at My Sketch World. I love that place! There is always fun stuff happening over there.

Here goes a few of my favorites......

Blinging my Mom!

I hate to admit this in public, but I absolutely Love this Layout!!! I am so pleased the papers went so well with the photo and I love the design of the page. I'm not much on using bling, but I think it turned out pretty. I wanted this page to be special because the picture of my mother is special to me.

This layout was done for Sketch #17 at Twisted Sketches. Love the sketch! I think it's one of my favorites from Anam. The twist is to use the bling!

i am 7

Love this picture that was taken at my 7th birthday party. This was taken at my Mema and Papa's house in Marianna, AR. That is my brother to the left of me. I remember that dress I am wearing because it was so cute with rows of apples on the skirt.

The photo is an 8x10 and that was a challenge to scrap.

King of the Castle

We had another super fun 1 Hour Sketch challenge at My Sketch World. I continue to amaze myself when I can whip out a layout in an hour!

Just Call Me "Tiger"!

Isn't he the cutest!!!

This is my 2 1/2 year old great-nephew on the golf course! He has a great grip, doesn't he!!

I'm a Scrapaholic from a Sketch World with a Twist!

I LOVE this layout! It features a photograph that was restored for me by Anam. She is a whiz at photo restoration. This photo was yellow and now it looks wonderful! I cried when I saw it, she did such a great job.

I did this layout and the card below using the luscious goodies from the "I am a Scrapaholic" Sept. kit, where I am this months Guest Designer. I totally lucked out with this kit, I am trying to use up every scrap of paper because it's all so pretty!

This card is from the Sept. 15th sketch at My Sketch World. Awesome sketch, isn't it!!

I love how this one turned out. It is for the Sept. 16 sketch at Twisted Sketches. The twist on this one is to use chipboard. Totally easy thing to do!
