February Week 4 Challenge

Hi!
Here comes my second layout of the year using a photo that friends sent as their Christmas card.  The picture is of our neighbors Ken and Suzanne's 3 beautiful daughters, Katie, Erin and Ashlyn in 2008.  Over at ScrapMuch?  they are having a February Color Challenge which helped bring about the colors I used in my layout.  I was also inspired by Let's Get Sketchy 's February Week 4's challenge designed by Sarah King.  Loved all the layering!  But the first thing that popped out about this sketch was the circles!  So I went looking for everything circles.  Circle and polk a dot papers, circle stickers and circle die cuts.  
Even the border around the photo had circles!  
It was a lot of fun going around in circles!

February's Second Challenge

Hello again!  
Love this week's Let's Get Sketchy  challenge designed by Bev Code .  I also combined it with  the
Lasting Memories #279 " The Blues" Challenge.   
One of our family summer vacations was to Lake Tahoe.  A very beautiful place where you feel like you can touch the clouds!  We all went on a boat ride one day where my son, Sky and my daughter, Ashley did parasailing.  This layout is of Sky's turn. 
 Hence the title "Sky High"  
 A very fun day I will always remember!

It looked like there were fingerprints on the background of the sketch so I used my fingers with different color inks to make clouds.

     Here are some close-ups

Tip:  I did not have enough letters of one brand for the title so I used a combination of three different brands. 

 I actually think it made the title more interesting. 

Loved using Jolee's boutique 3D boat and Vellum Waves to add dimension

February's First Challenges

Hi!

Been having a tough week and so I am a little behind. This week's layout was inspired by

Let's Get Sketchy Week 1 challenge that was designed by Brenshevia.  I am also doing the

Challenge YourSelf #26 : "One Little Word".  My one little word for 2016 is Memories.  I plan to scrapbook old and new memories all year long! Another challenge is at DoubleClickSkittles #41 "Use a Heart" On the layout I used a laser cut heart from BoBunny and a clear stamp of tiny hearts from Stampabilities "Our Wedding". 

The photo on my layout is of mother (me) and daughter (Ashley) strolling hand and hand on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.      Which is right by the Brooklyn Bridge with views of Lower Manhattan and the New York Harbor.                                                                                   A lovely place for a afternoon walk.
