Card Sketch #24

I am so very excited that Christmas is in 5 days. I took my Mom and Sister to the airport yesterday to return to America. And now, our house is filled with just us. It hasn't been that way since the beginning of October. And I am really excited for our family to have time a lone before we have more people staying with us at the end of January.

And since this is the last card sketch before Christmas, I just want to send out a few thank you's. First off, even though this Design Team is new, I want to thank each of them. I had people who helped me from the beginning to supply samples of my sketches. They were my friends and I appreciate them as well. And thank you to each and every person who stops in to see what is happening here at Sketches! I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Also, I will not be doing a Sketch next week. I am taking the week between Christmas and New Year's off so that not only I can devote my time with my family, but each Design Team Member can do the same. And if my dates are accurate, I will have the next Card Sketch up on January 3rd.

Happy Holidays!

12 x 12 Layout Sketch #23

Happy Monday!

I am really excited to be here at home today and able to share a new sketch. I have been doing a lot of traveling the last two weeks with my family in town and I am happy I have a day to re-coup a bit. It is my sons 9th Birthday and I couldn't be away from him on his special day.

Thank you so much to the Design Team for their fabulous Layouts. The Sketches! Blog would not be the same without their contributions.

If you use the sketch for inspiration and would be willing to share your layout, just leave the link in the comment section.

Have a fabulous day!

12 X 12 Layout Sketch #22

I want to start by apologizing for my absence on the computer this past week. And especially because it will continue for the next week or two. My mom and sister are visiting us from America and so we are busy doing a lot of traveling and site seeing. I spent Friday with them in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Saturday in Brugge, Belguim. But the one thing I will be consistant on is the layout sketch and card sketch. No matter what we are doing, I will find the time to upload a new sketch.

I am really loving all the layouts from the design team. I hope you are as well. I want to thank Beth, Leslie and Shannon for the great layouts this week!

Have a fabulous Week!
