Here is the sketch so you may play along!

{for you}

This layout is of my oldest at Christmas a few years ago. I used some old Basic Grey Collections for the paper.

Misty Buck created this awesome sketch for www.scrapbooksteals.com. I loved how it allowed me to crop the photos to feature my Daughter's joy for the holiday.

Winner

This cute little layout was the random winner for sketch #2 on scrapbooksteals.com.
I wasn't a huge fan of this one right when I finished, but it is growing on me because the colors reflect the bright spot in my life that is my youngest.

Thank you Melissa  for a wonderful sketch. I loved what you did with the Mid Week Mojo!

Mid week Mojo

This week, I did a pretty loose interpretation of Kristy Lee's sketch at scrapbooksteals.com.

I love these old pics of my oldest in the snow. She's always been a toughie, unswayed by cold, hurt, or obstacles. She loved the snow. She still does. I love my strong girl. Hope she stays strong.

Hero to me

Another scrapbooksteals.com Mid Week Mojo. This week's sketch matched this picture I've meant to scrap for a couple of years.

My Grandad is my hero. He dropped out in 3rd grade, but is the smartest man I know. He grew up poor, the salvation army gave him shoes, and when he married my Grandma, he brought one box of things. She kept waiting for him to move in, and finally asked when he was going to bring his stuff, to which he simply answered, "I did".

They were Okies and sharecroppers, but he wanted better. They bought a fishing lodge in the Texas Hill Country and ran it themselves. He did all the work, and had to stay up on heavy rain nights to keep the dock from anchoring too low and sinking.

I learned to tell a story from him. He can tell a tale completely unbelievable, and you believe every word. It wasn't until I started telling my own that I realized I had learned from the best.

Play

Another MWM from scrapbooksteals.com. If you are looking for great sketches, go to their blog and search MWM. The amazing Kristy Lee is so talented when it comes to designing usable sketches.

I loved putting this one together because the photos caught my daughter's play so well. She's a busy bee and it's hard to capture the energy she has.
