Thanks!

PERFECT!!!

Did you draw your stitch lines or is that a stamp?
I need to keep all my stitch stamps and stencils out on m desk so I use them more. I'm usually too lazy.

Thanks for playing.

I just drew the stitch lines. I had rub ins but they dried out long ago. I have the one zig zag stamp and only rarely emember to use it.

Don't know why I haven't looked at this thread before now. There are some great layouts here ladies, I've enjoyed them all. I do like this sketch Jen; just not sure what photos I'd use it for right now. I'm firming in 2-page, multi-photo land as I start to get into road trip photos.

[ScrappinJen]

Keitha, there is a companion pocket page. I just need to type out my story for one of the pockets. Then I'll post it.

Same thing for my first layout. I'm a two page gal.

I'll post them both soon. Once Pam's big LOAD challenge starts.

Here is my attempt at this sketch. Not thrilled with the result but the photos are on paper!! I guess I just snuck this in on the last day, too bad I wasn't thinking and I could have used it as a twofer for Pam's challenge for a page a day for June. That would be cheating, I guess..... The photo of the page really stinks!! Too much glare.

[ScrappinJen]

This is great, Debbie. Love those stars.
Last night I found a pack of sewn circle die cuts that would work perfectly for this sketch. I may have to use the sketch again for Pam's LOAD.
Thanks for joining in.

I thought I commented on your layout Debbie. Probably forgot to click "submit". Good job!

The more I scrapbook, the more difficult I find it to use photos in sizes other than 4x6. I like pages with different size photos, I just find it difficult to balance everything. Weird.

Sorry I'm late - squeezing in here under the gun. I had to locate the photo that I wanted to use. The LO photo is lousy - we've had non-stop bottom-dropping-out rain all day long. Dang it all, it just started up again after a 5 minute lull.

Do I get bonus points for actually pulling out the sewing machine??? BTW, I called Bonnie and told her to knock it off and take this rain back out to sea.

BONUS POINTS!!!!!
I thought about pulling out my sewing machine but have used my Silhouette several times today instead. I know. What a concept - using an over priced tool. Amazing.

[Debbie J]

Pam P, please tell Bonnie htank you for the scrubbie. That thing is great, really love it.

[ScrappinJen]

Love this Christmas layout. Fantastic idea. I agree about the 4x6 photos. My next sketch will have them. I promise.

Nice layouts, everyone. I liked the sketch with the dangley things a lot, just not scrapping lately.

More great layouts here! I do like this sketch and will use it at some point I'm sure. It's too bad all of PageMaps sketches have gone to these tiny photos anymore; they used to be in my top 3 go-to sketch sites. Not so much anymore. In fact, I'm having a hard time finding new 2-page sketches I do like; anyone have sites they recommend? I know I can always pair a single with a pocket page, but I've decided that's not my preferred look, either. Good thing I've got a hoard of older sketches saved on my computer and a few old sketch books on the shelf.

Jen, feel free to post June's sketch any ol' time; I've got photos awaitin' LOL.
