My Second to Last Sketchapalooza Post!

It's so hard for me to believe that this is the last week of Sketchapalooza. I've done every sketch and, although I will really miss the group and all the talent there, I am just about sketched out. I am just about out of photos that haven't already been scrapped (although I can always find ways to scrap the same photos in different ways) and I need a break so I can finish one mini album for a Christmas gift and start another. But I'll continue to do my favorite challenges (listed on the sidebar)! Here are my Sketchapalooza layouts from this weekend - credits under each.

Sketchapalooza!

I really can't believe how quickly the four weeks of Sketchapalooza at Feeling Scrappy are flying by - we only have a week left! Here are some of the layouts I completed in the last week (I'm not sharing all of them because some of them were created for others for a Scrapshare trading pages swap). Credits under each photo. Thanks for looking!

ACK! Behind!

Ok, so I'm now behind on posting my Sketchapalooza layouts and I decided I will do one big catch up round up after I complete the sketch for tomorrow. But here's a layout I did for the 11/10 sketch challenge at The Digi Chick - credits:

Word art by Michaele Burkhart

Killing two challenges with one stone!

Today's Feeling Scrappy challenge is to create a page about someone or a group of someones and list at least 10 things that you love (or feel grateful for) about them. Today's DigiChick color challenge is to create a layout using greens and browns. This kit (Autumn Blooms by Nicole Seitler) really spoke to me for both challenges so I decided to combine them. I also used Atomic Cupcake's painted wood action.
