Pencil Lines Sketch 253

Man... I totally dropped the ball on keep up with this blog. Well, I can't say that I'll be any better in the future, but I will try!

I just love the fall season. It's my favorite time of the year. I love the colors the landscape changes too. After having lived so many years out in California... the land of no fall... I can really appreciate it now. I do miss being in my hometown and going to the local national park. This time of year is so beautiful there... and I have so many memories of getting "Chocolate Coffee" from the local coffee company and sipping it while driving through the winding roads of the park.

Ok enough about - Pencil Lines has a new sketch - Sketch 253 by Carina Lindholm - out this week. Make sure to stop by the site and check out what the other Design Team members created, but here's the original sketch (image is linked to Pencil Lines):

Howdy Folks! Can you believe that June is almost half way over??? I'll admit that June is my favorite month... could be that it is my birthday month :) I had a wonderful birthday... not that we did much but just that I celebrated another year. The weather is really nice here... warm and sunny. We got one of those top ring blue pools for the girls to enjoy this summer. They can't wait to take their first dip in it. I'm glad that we will have something to enjoy this summer. With Matt's work schedule, it will be nice for keeping the girls entertained.

I love this week's Pencil Lines Sketch... check it out (the image is link to the Pencil Lines Blog if you want to check out what other Design Team members created):

Happy Sunday! How's your Sunday going? For us... about as normal as any Sunday is. I'm typing away on the computer listening the girls argue. I'm dreading summer vacation.

Well, this past week was an exciting week... I got one of the best surprises I've ever gotten! I was totally shocked when I read the "hey I like you... wanna join my team" e-mail I got from Shawna Clingerman! Totally Shocked!!! That's two this year that I didn't think I had a chance of ever making the teams and I did! WOOHOO!!!

Well, this week's Pencil Lines Sketch Layout is really special to me. Lately, I've been on a roll of using WM [Squared]'s new collection call MY HISTORY. When I got my first peek at this week's sketch, I knew I wanted to use these worn overlays that I have... it was perfect. Next, I was browsing my photos and I can across one of my grandparents early in their relationship... and I totally wanted to scrap it... and it was perfect for the sketch... and as they say... the rest was history... check out my layout below:
