Sketch Challenge with Crate Paper

Crate Paper had a simple, very versatile sketch featured for August, so I decided to play along. I had a few pieces of their "Paper Doll" line left and some of the chipboard shapes, and it all worked well with these sweet pics of Hannah. I inked most of the edges and added a stitched border. On a side note, Hannah does not like the sound of the sewing machine for some reason and cried the whole time - I kept saying, "One more side!" until I finished. I hope you enjoy the results more than she did!

I've been crafting up a storm - but not keeping up with it all on my blog. Sorry about that, for I love to share. First, I finished a 22 page album for friends. Then I sat at my sewing machine with an actual pattern (it's been awhile!) to create a 3 foot fleece kitty for my adorable god-daughter. Of course, I had to fit in some card making for birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother's Day. And then a few layouts for myself and Scrapdoodles. I was lucky enough to come in just after they put the new CratePaper "Paper Dolls" collection out. It's so cute and very girly! The chipboard accents are awesome.

I also picked up a few pieces from Fancy Pants Designs new "My Family" line. The colors are great for any type of layout. They are also featuring a mix of acetate accents with fun glitter features. I loved the line "all because two people fell in love..." on the border sheet and thought of my parents. I've got 5 great siblings all because Jim and Sandy fell in love.
