Through the Years

Seriously -- how long has it been.  I've been so busy this fall.  I've gotten heavily involved in dog rescue -- it keeps me hopping.  Scrapping has definitely had to take a back seat.

But I saw a great sketch today on "Sketchy Thursday" and just knew I had to do something with it.

Here's the sketch:
http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/

And here's my interpretation:

This is my son and some of those school photo's -- starting with Preschool, 2nd grade, 6th grade, and finally this year.  Sophomore in high school.  

Journaling reads "Brian has grown into such a handsome young man.  He has come a long way since his 4 lb start".  

Papers -- Echo Park "Little Boy"

Christmas Card

Seriously -- I have been scrapping but I haven't been keeping up the blog.  Been way too busy.  But here's a card for this weeks challenge on http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/

I decided last year after Christmas that I would make my cards all year -- so how did that go... Not too good.  This is card # 4.  LOL.

Products:

Grab a Seat

Here are me and my son in Barcelona, Spain.  Gaudi is the most famous architect in Barcelona and you can find his work everywhere.  Here we are grabbing a seat on one of his ergonomic benches in Parc Guelle -- made of stone & amazingly comfy.

My lo is based on the most recent sketch found on the sketchythursday.blogspot.com  challenge.   Thanks for the inspiration.

Discoveries Monument

Here is another lo from our trip to Spain & Portugal.  This monument is dedicated to the explorers from Spain and to those who paid for their explorations.  The size is incredible.  That is me and ds on the bottom (out front) of the photo.  

I used the most recent sketch from http://sketchinspiration.ning.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network for my inspiration -- thanks for the awesome sketch.  

I even broke out some stamps and dusted off the cobwebs for this lo.  Nothing over the top -- but at least I used some stash.
