Smile * Enjoy Life

Welcome back to another Make It Monday.  I hope your Thanksgiving went well.  Ours was wonderful!!  It was the first time I've hosted Thanksgiving and we had wonderful get together with family.  Can't wait to scrap some of those pictures. 

Our challenge for you this time is a Sketch - Choose One.
Choose one of these sayings.  I picked 2; smile and enjoy life.

Use something from your office supplies.  I picked colored staples. You can see the staples better in both of my close ups.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'm looking forward to what everyone else comes up with.

Thankful For Hiking Friends & Firefighters That Let Kids Explore

Back with another, Make It Monday Challenge from The Memory Nest.

This layout was so much fun to create.  We meet our new friends at the beginning of the year and have had great nature adventures together.  I am very thankful for our explorations.  Meeting another mom that likes to get her kids out and explore has been so much fun. 

Close Up

I also have been trying to find a few new sketch sites lately.  Some of my go to places have to closing down.  Here are a few challenges that I have entered this layout into My Scraps & More Sketches and The Studio Challenge - Chipboard, Triangles and Gold.

My New Ride

Today is a all new Make It Monday at The Memory Nest.  This week is a sketch challenge with a twit to use a selfie. 

I thought this challenge was going to be super hard for me since I only scrap about my kiddos.  But, it turned out a lot easier than I had thought.  I had the perfect paper to go with a photo of myself just taken last month.  To be honest if not for this challenge I never would have scrapped this photo of myself.   

Here is the example that I created.

Autumn Love

I was searching around for a sketch to create my example for the November Color Challenge at Sketches4All.  I saw this sketch over at Retro sketches and it was perfect! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can play along too.
