A sketch for fun . . .

When I have a few free minutes and can't get to my scraproom, I sketch! I draw the lo's that are in my head! I then start to think of the papers and pics that would go with it. This way, when I do get to my scraproom, I am ready to get started and can hopefully crank out a few lo's in a short amount of time!

So, have a little fun and see what you can do with this sketch! Please leave me a link to your layout if you do use it! I would love to see what you create!

Tomorrow is Friday!!! Hope you are able to get some scrappy time this weekend!! I sure plan to! ~ Heather

Friends make our hearts sing!

On my layout "Friends make your heart SING", the music notes were a touch that I just had to have. Though I may not be musical, my friend Shelly is the praise team leader at our church. I loved how the distressing and masking and layering turned out. If you look close, you may even see some hidden music notes that I cut using the cricut and placed inside.

Here's the story: Shelly and I were 2 years apart at the same small Christian university, lived in the same dorm and never knew each other while we were there. It wasn't until many years later when Shane and I started attending the church we currently go to that we met Assistant Pastor Jim and his wife, the Praise Team Leader, Shelly that we discovered our alike past! Shane now plays guitar with the Praise Team.

She is such an amazing friend to me now that I only wish that we would have met back in the college days so we could have had an additional 14 years of friendship . . . but God's plans aren't ours and He chose when to bring us together!


Been hanging out over at www.tallyscrapper.com quite a bit! Even purchased their June kit! Received it today and I am in love!!! Great kit - lots of Jenni Bowlin (which makes me very happy!) and Studio Calico! Can't wait to get busy scrapping with the kit!

And some other news . . . the DT over at www.ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com has been very busy producing lots of projects using Raisin Boat stamps, a fantastic sponsor!! Be sure to check out the blog for an interview today and lots of new projects by the DT debuting tomorrow!!

Till later, Heather

Are you up to the challenge?

Have you been over to www.ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com yet this month? We have a new challenge!! You need to check it out! You take a quiz to find out what your color is. Next, you do a monochromatic layout based upon your quiz results!!! Here is mine! As you will see, my color was green!

I chose to use Basic Grey papers and sticker diecuts. The title letters are AC Thickers. The journaling box is by Making Memories. Prima bling and flower of course. The butterfly is by Petaloo (I think).

My title is based on Christian artist Francesca Battistelli's song, "Free to Be Me". The journaling are song lyrics from the song! It's one of my fave songs! It says "Cause I got a couple dents in my fender, got a couple rips in my jeans. Try to put the pieces together, but perfection is my enemy. On my own I'm so clumsy. But on Your shoulders I can see, I'm free to be me and You're free to be You. . . But You look at my heart and tell me that I've got all You seek."

Up to the challenge? Can't wait to see what you come up with!
