Lasting Memories # 124 with sketchy help from Boys Rule Scrapbooking

Happy Sunday!!  I am finally here to share the latest challenge with you over at Lasting Memories that started today!!
Our theme this week is ... "BORDERLINE."  Let's see those BORDERS on your layouts!!  Page frames, scallops, lace cut outs, die cuts... there are so many ways to add borders to your pages and/or photos.  Show us your way!!  Link up with LMCB 124 HERE by Saturday February 2nd for your chance to win a Gift Certificate to A2Z scrapbooking!!   Woo Hoo!

And here is mine using the strips of the "Mustard" color paper as a Page Border/Frame.

Our son just started playing basketball for a team this year for the first time. He is having fun and is finally able to use his skills he does have on a court rather than just on our cement driveway.  He is young and learning and we are waiting for that first 2 points to happen.  (from him)  He is a good passer/dribbler!!  :)

I am also entering my layout over with everyone at Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits.  They have this great sketch for January!!

Supplies Used:

CardStock:  More Mustard, Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Basic Gray, Certainly Celery, Pool Party, Silver Glitter paper from Stampin' Up and DSP from DCWV.

Digi Image: from Digi Darla's called "Basketball Brian"

Other:  Star Punch, Star Brads, Prisma colored pencils, black SU marker

Digi Darla's Ch # 13 "Let's Celebrate" - Card & other FUN NEWS!!

Hello!  Has really over a week gone by that I haven't posted anything new for you all to see??  So sorry about that!!  That's changing today and over the weekend... for I have a Laundry list of crafty things I need to make.
So... they say that bad things can happen in 3's??  Well... I think GOOD things can happen in 3's as well.

Here is my  #1 thing "Good"... a card I made for our daughter for her last day of school.  It's not until the 21st... so I am pretty proud of myself for being this ahead of the game. The other wonderful thing about this card is that I am entering it over at Digi Darla's Ch # 13 - Let's Celebrate challenge!!  They are also having a DT call... this is my 2nd entry for that.  Wish me luck!!  I didn't think I was a fan of Digi Images until I tried them!!  LOVE them!!  It's like the stamp that keeps on giving without trying to find your black ink stamp pad!  LOL!!  Just for entering the challenge... you get a cute little freebie digi!  That is worth it right there.  So go check them out!!

"Crissy and Ice Cream" - Digi Darla's Image

Other than the Digi Image from Digi Darla's, most of this paper is from the "SWEET" collection from DCWV paper.  The red polka dots is Stampin' Up DSP and Real Red cardstock is thrown in there as well. Then with some random star brads, glimmer Real Red brads from Stampin' Up.  I colored my digi image with Stampin' Up markers.  My daughter will be impressed that I added "Highlights" to her hair.  :-)

My #2 bit of FUN News today... I am being SHOWCASED on the NIKKI SIVILS Blog for a double page layout I did a little while ago of a "Roadtrip"  using her EXIT HERE collection.  Yay Me!!  You can see it all right HERE.  She has such fun whimsical paper collections that I highly suggest you go gawk over!!

And... My #3 bit of FUN News... I was chosen as the TOP 3 for the month of APRIL over at Sketches in Thyme.  You can see my "Family Bike Ride" layout HERE.  I have been asked to be a Guest Designer for an upcoming challenge month.  Will keep you posted on that!

Thanks so much for visiting.  I will be back!!  Have a great day!!
