Sweet Summertime Pool Pals

It's an exciting time over at Sketchy Thursdays this week.  We've teamed up with the ScrapFit challenge blog for a mini blog hop!  You have multiple chances to win prizes from Sketchy Thursdays (Burlap & Buttercups prize), $10 gift card to Design by Diana on etsy and ScrapFit (Paper Issues prize). Here's how:

• Create a project based on this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch using the following prompt on the page: F Is For Friendship
• Share your projects over on the Sketchy Thursdays and ScrapFit sites

Here's my interpretation of this challenge using Little Yellow Bicycle goodies I won from them (thanks, LYB!)

Supplies: Little Yellow Bicycle Sweet Summertime Collection - Sunshine/Summertime Stripe, Stripe/Watermelon Slice, Summer Garden/Lime Stripe, Fireflies with texture and glitter, Journaling Cards with thermography, Canvas Sticker Borders, Dimensional Pop-up Stickers, Clear Cuts - Shapes with glitter, Cardstock Favorite Pieces Stickers with glitter and buttons, Glue Arts Glue Pro Adhesive, Zig Marker in Black .5mm

Head over to Sketchy Thursdays for more details and to see the sketch. While you're there, check out what the rest of the design team did! You might even see double...this layout was especially fun this week because my friend, Audrey, who just happens to be on the Sketchy Thursdays design team too, and I chose to use the same pics of our daughters at the pool playing together this summer.

Cute Little Chicks: Coordinates Collections November Blog Hop Challenge, Sketchy Thursdays and ScrapFIT

The kids were at their grandparents this weekend so I had the chance to go on a couple of dates with the hubby but between that and sleeping in, I scrapped away in my new scrap room! I promise to post photos some day. ;)  So, I've got quite a few new layouts to post.  The one for today combines 3 different challenges:

• Sketchy Thursdays - create a project based on the sketch below for a chance to win Copics
• Coordinates Collections - create a fall or outdoor themed LO using burlap
• ScrapFIT - use shapes you normally don't see in a LO and use fall colors.

To meet the challenge requirements I used photos that actually include hexagon shapes (how perfect was that?), plus burlap and then I fussy cut hexagons from paper from the Scrapbook Circle November kit. I love the paper and embellishments combos that Lisa puts together. And the sketch was just the inspiration I needed to put it all together!!

Supplies: Crate Paper School Spirit Collection - Ruler and Chemistry paper; misc. burlap; Jillibean Soup corrugated shapes; Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type alphas; Basic Grey archiac alpha stickers; Martha Stewart baker's twine; Tattered Angels Tattered Leather Glimmer Mist; Glossy Accents; CTMH Chocolate Ink; misc. buttons
