Challenge #134 -- Layout Sketch


This is the 5th Tuesday of the month, which means it is Surprise Tuesday here at Sketches! {by tamara}. What that means, is you never know what kind of Challenge we will be uploading. And it just so happens, that today is my sons 4th Birthday. That also pretty much marks the amount of time I have lived in Germany, since he was 3 weeks old when we moved here.

Being it is his birthday, I asked a few people from the Sketches! {by tamara} facebook page to help out with this challenge. I supplied a sketch and asked them all to do a birthday layout.

Make sure you leave them all some praise on their great pages.

Hope you have a great week!

Challenge #133 -- Journaling Challenge

We are on our last week of Summer Vacation here in Germany. School starts again on Monday. The weather has been everything except Summer weather these last 6 weeks. This week is no different. Rain. Cold. I guess fall is coming.

This week is our Journaling Challenge. It comes from Karen, one of the Design Team Members here at Sketches! {by tamara}.

  • Journal about your vacation: More than who, what, where and when. But your thought about the vacation or a funny event during the vacation.
  • Check out the amazing layouts from the Design Team below.

    Hope everyone has a great week!

Challenge #132 -- Card Sketch

The weather here in Germany feels like we are moving into Fall already. The kids have 2 weeks left of Summer Vacation before they go back to school. And I have 3 weeks until I fly out to America. I have been making some Scrappy Surprises for those that are attending the Weekend Crop with me in Wisconsin while I am there. So I have been real busy, and will continue to be until I leave.

This week is a Card Sketch. I am very excited to share this Sketch and to share what the Design Team made with this sketch. It is such a fun sketch.

Try it out. Share your creations with us. We'd love to see. Just post a link in the comment section for us to take a peek.

Hope you all have a great week!

Challenge #130 -- Layout Sketch

It has been an adventure of a week at our house. As I look back, all our Summers here in Germany have been eventful for one reason or another.

I'm looking forward to traveling to Luxemburg on Wednesday. I hear it is beautiful there and I can not wait to get away for a few days.

This week, I am sharing a Layout Sketch. I actually really love this Sketch and would love to see what you do with it.

Check out what the design team Members did with it. I love them all!

Have a great week!
