have you been by the jillibean soup blog lately? they have a great schedule set up each week. and one of the features is "soup sketch" every tuesday. this week is soup sketch 2 (SS2), brought to us by summer fullerton. here is the sketch.

SS2 

and here is my take on it.

Alyssa_h2o 

i've been pulling out some older photos lately … these are about 9 years old. they were scrapped on a 2 page layout in a creative memories album. it wasn't good. it involved a hose sticker … and some random flower stickers sneezed onto the pages. sure, it's fun to look back and see how my style has evolved. but it's also fun to take those photos right off that old page … and rescrap them to my style now. these fit the sketch … so i went for it.

supplies –
pattern paper – jillibean soup
journaling sprout – jillibean soup
chipboard letters – heidi swapp
chipboard number – american crafts
chipboard accents – ek success, scenic route
metal rims – making memories
punch – stampin up
other – string

make sure and check out what the other design team girls came up with for this sketch … you can see them all HERE. and you can play along too! if you create a card or layout based on this sketch, using some jillibean soup product … link it up on their blog. you can use either of the sketches posted thus far (SS1 or SS2) and you have until 7am EST on wednesday, may 12th. they will be picking a random winner for $25 worth of jillibean products.

and i have another sketch layout coming later tonight for a guest designer spot i did. it's supposed to go up on wednesday … but since they're 18 hours ahead of us, you actually get to see it early. our tues is actually their wednesday … or something like that. lol! i also have a super cool share on thursday. i know i disappeared for a few days there … but i hope these few posts will make up for that and get me back on track!

    Oh Laura, you make me laugh! I truly laughed out loud when I got to the line about the hose sticker! And the part about the stickers sneezed onto the page… yeah, I can TOTALLY picture what that looked like. I think we all have old pages like that. Thank goodness scrapbooking has evolved, huh??? 🙂

    now those pictures are SO cute! I think I know the hose your talking about–it’s on a layout to remain nameless and hidden in a dusty album-not to be redone-your better than I am-once the pictures are done, there done no looking back and redoing…. 🙂 Fun sketch and page!

    So cool they come up with sketchs. I am going to take a look at the other layouts. You did a great job with those pretty photos.
