What's the line-up?

This layout is for the March 18th sketch challenge over at stuckonusketches.blogspot.com.

I used a sunflower on this layout to represent the many many many sunflower seeds we have consumed over my daughter's thirteen years of playing softball. She wasn't actually going to play this year and realized in her heart she wasn't done playing.

I used a softball score sheet behind the photo and a player line-up sheet that I cut in strips;

Smile--show us those pearly whites!

This layout is based on the March sketch over at http://lizqualman.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-sketch-challenge-at-lyb.html. Although I did not use lyb papers, I loved the sketch and love how this came out. It will be home to dgd's first teeth pictures.

This is one of my all time favorite whimsical butterflies from walk in my garden cart.
I love the dimension that the puffy paint added to this flower!

Several posts

I received a wooden frame like they sell at Michaels in an order I received and finally got around to altering it. I used K&Co paper, an old piece of lace that I have had for probably twenty plus years, flat back pearls, embroidery thread, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, recollection fabric flower and the leafy vine is from what a beautiful mess blog.

This was a super quick and fun card to make. The image is from the cutting cafe. I printed it and then colored with pencils and odorless mineral spirits. I added waterfall stickles to the icing, used Martha Stewart swirling lace punch around the page border punches, paper from stash and ribbon from Michaels.

This layout is for the March 4th sketch challenge at stuckonusketches. Unfortunately the lighting in my kitchen is horrible. I somehow missed the cutoff for the link--I must try to finish sooner!

The picture in the layout isn't the best quality but I enlarged a 1x1" thumbnail print. This is my grandmother and mother and I just adore the sweetness of this photo. My grandmother made the darling little hat my mother was wearing. I don't have many photo's of my grandmother or my mother as a young child but grateful for the ones I do have.

Paper is K&Co and Crafty Secrets.
