I was very inspired by the grungy look of the sketch and it definitely played out on my page. I chose to scrapbook Kirk's 9 month photos that I took of him. Even though I took almost the same photos every month for the first year of Kirk's life I think the 9 month photos are some of my favorite. His little face is adorable and I just really like the way the photos turned out. I used Tim Holtz paper and distress ink for this page.<br />

The last sketch was due on a day that I was hosting Kirk's second birthday party (post <a href="http://www.casbacreations.blogspot.com/2014/02/kirks-second-birthday-party.html">here</a>). With all the decorations I made and the baking and cooking I did I just didn't have a lot of time to scrapbook so I traded weeks with one of the lovely ladies of team B. This week's sketch was a lot of fun to work with and the page came together really easy.<br />
<br />
One of the best parts of being a parent, for me, is watching my partner be a parent as well. Seeing his love for our son has made me love him more. Watching them play together has brought me endless joy. I just used a bunch of random photos of the two of them together that I had printed out. I thought they made a really cute page. I used My Mind's Eye's Cut and Paste line for this page as well as Thickers and some ink. <br />

I liked the sketch. I like sun bursts on pages, but I always have a hard time doing them on my pages. I'm glad this pushed me out of my comfort zone because I'm very happy with the page. I used My Mind's Eye's Cut and Paste Line for this page. I also used Thickers, Glimmer Mist, and Distress Ink. I hope you enjoy it. Stop over at Simple Sketches and share your page too!<br />

To be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of the sketch when I first saw it. It just wasn't really my style, but then I made this page and I absolutely love how it turned out as well as all the other design team pages that used this sketch. Just some more proof that I need to break out of my comfort zone more often. These are photos I took last year of Kirk for our Holiday cards. I love how the photos turned out and can't believe how much Kirk has grown in one year. I used the Graphic 45 12 days of Christmas line, Black Soot Distress Ink, Smooch Spritz and white Maya Mist for this page. The alphas are Thickers with crystal Stickles over them. <br />

I apologize, but I have a good excuse. First my son was sick with a stomach bug and he very generously shared it with my husband and I. It wasn't pretty. I'll just leave it at that. I'm excited to finally share this page though. I really love how it turned out. I used the November Mixed Media kit from <a href="http://frosted-designs.com/products/november-2013-mixed-media-paper-kit">Frosted Designs</a>. I also used some Thickers, Glimmer Mists, molding paste and plenty of ink. <br />

I looked at them in stores and online, but didn't really want to spend $20 on them. So I hit up Google Images and figured I could probably make one myself. We had some scrap 2x4s in the garage and I had some Martha Stewart craft paint so I set to work making us a stocking hanger. I used some really old Scenic Route paper that I've had lying around for quite awhile as well as some Thickers and Distress ink. I attached it all using Mod Podge. Finally today at the store I bought some 3M hooks on clearance. Total price for this project was $4 and I love how it turned out. <br />

I offered to make a good friend of mine something to hang on her bedroom wall. She's one of my favorite people ever so I was really excited make something awesome for her. I used a 12x12 piece of wood that I had lying around at home for this. I misted the wood with Glimmer Mist and then used it like a canvas. I also used the October Mixed Media Kit from<a href="http://frosted-designs.com/products/october-2013-mixed-media-paper-kit"> Frosted Designs</a>. It was a lot of fun to get and I had a great time working with it. On top of the kit I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink, more Glimmer Mist and molding paste. <br />

I had fun scrapbooking some pre-Kirk photos. This was from a friends vacation back in 2011. We had a great time visiting the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. It's such a beautiful place to visit. I used Basic Grey papers, Tim Holtz Distress inks, molding paste, and Maya Mist. <br />

This week at <a href="http://simplesketches.blogspot.com/">Simple Sketches</a> we've got another great sketch for you! I created this page using some more or Kirk's newborn photos. I'll be done scrapping them soon. Then I'll finally be able to get to work scrapping some of his 6 month photos and 1 year photos and 18 month photos too. Plus all the normal candid photos that we take on a daily basis. By the time I'm done with those I'll probably have the photos of his high school graduation to work on! I guess no one said being a mom left you with a lot of time to have hobbies! I used a Basic Grey collection, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. I also used a healthy dose of glimmer mist and ink. </div>

Once again this week I couldn't help myself when I saw the sketch for <a href="http://simplesketches.blogspot.com/">Simple Sketches</a>. It wasn't my week, but I loved this sketch so much that I got right to work on a page anyway. These are a few of Kirk's newborn photos. I can't believe that he's already 20 months old. In my head he is still that sweet and squishy newborn baby. I use Echo Park's This and That paper line for this page. I just love that line. Amazingly I didn't use any ink or mist on this page. I just kept it clean and simple. Crazy, huh?! </div>

I used a few photos of a deer that we saw while we were hiking last month. One went right by us, but the other one stopped to check out. It was a pretty cool experience and Kirk was totally floored. I used Glimmer mist, thickers and some scraps for this page. </div>

<span style="color: black;">Check out this week's sketch over at <a href="http://simplesketches.blogspot.com/">Simple Sketches</a>! This wasn't even my week to create a page for this sketch! I just really loved it and it got me scrapping so I went ahead and created a page anyway. These photos are from Kirk's 1 month photos that I took. I'm really happy with how the page turned out. </span></div>

It is a really fun sketch and great to play around with. For this sketch I used some Halloween pictures from last year. Kirk dressed as Captain Kirk. I know, I know...Could we be any bigger dorks? The answer? Probably and it seems like we are getting there....Anyway, I thought Kirk was an adorable little Captain Kirk and he had his stuffed Spock and Enterprise to complete the look. <br />
<br />
For this page I just couldn't find any patterned papers that I liked so I just used Bazill Cardstock and doodles, misted and inked away to make the page. I'm pretty happy with the results. I hope you enjoy it and live long and prosper. ;)<br />

Here's my take on it. This is from Kirk's 18 month photos that I took. He loves to look at the birds in our backyard through the deck stairs. He's such a funny little guy anymore. I just love the look on his face in these photos. </div>

I'm REALLY excited to share this project with you. It is something I dreamed up quite awhile ago and then have spent the last 6 months, on and off (ok more off than on) working on it. Our new house has a really nice space above fire place that just needed a piece of art. I hatched the idea to quill some sort of art piece. My husband has always had an interest in Buddhism and I think images of the Buddha are very beautiful so I came up with the idea to quill the Buddha sitting under a tree during the full moon. This is when the Buddha reached enlightenment. I used quilled cardstock and Mod Podge for the tree and the Buddha. For the background I used Glimmer Mist, October Afternoon Mists, Smooch Spritz in various colors. For the stars I used Crystal Stickles. I just used a circle mask to make the moon while misting the background. I feel like this is art so I went ahead and gave it a name ;) It's titled "Enlightenment of the Buddha". I hope you enjoy looking at it. <br />

I want to take the time to thank you all who took the time to vote in the So You Think You're Crafty audition. Unfortunately I didn't make it in to season 17, but I still had a lot of fun coming up with my project and am very happy with how it turned out. With out further ado here is my project. I altered a composition notebook and a pencil case. I used the Pink Paislee Indigo Blue line, Tim Holtz black soot distress ink, Zing Pewter embossing powder, Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous stamps, as well as some misc. stamps that I don't know the brand of, and Mod Podge on this project.

While I like the page I was having a hard time with the papers I had chosen for this page and didn't feel the black and white with blue popped enough for a design team call. Regardless it's still a pretty page and I love the photos in it. They are from my maternity photo shoot at 35 weeks pregnant. I used BoBunny papers, Broken China Distress Ink and turquoise Glimmer Mist. The large flower and the screen I used for masking are from Prima. The title is made up of Thickers. <br />

When I saw the design team call I got really excited. I've finally been able to consistently get back to scrapbooking and I'd been keeping my eye out for a design team to keep me motivated. I made this page to apply for the Simple Sketches design team<br />
<br />
This page is from Kirk's newborn photos. Can you believe that was 18 months ago? I sure can't! It has gone by way too fast. I used Basic Grey's Hipster line for this page. I also used fair amount of Black Soot Distress Inks. I used my Cricut Storybook Cartridge to cut out the scalloped circles and the letters. The wood embellishments are also from the Basic Grey Hipster line. <br />

When they brought it over and opened it up Kirk had to be right in the middle of things helping to build the toy. Whenever he sees tools he has to be right there to help. I chose this paper because it looked like schematics to me and I felt like it fit with the page. I unfortunately don't remember the brand of paper. I used Thickers for the title and a Signo pen for the journaling. <br />
