Sketchy Thursday - August 6-12

Another Sketchy Thursday From Diana

I wasn't able to join in the fun for a couple of weeks, because I'd been very busy with lots of things but I'm back on my feet again. So for this week's sketch is this:


and for my take: ( the fastest layout I ever did. 10 minutes for the record! )


Materials used: Patterned Paper ( DCWV ) * Paper Journal ( Making Memories ) * Pen ( Staedtler triplus fineliner ) * Adhesive ( Xpress-IT) * Misc. Title Sticker, Ribbons

Journal on the LO : Since we got our " Friends of the Zoo" membership card we always go there as our family bonding day. I guess this particular visit is my favorite. We were able to see almost everything, even experiencing Kangaroos up-close. We rested a bit somewhere while snacking with oreos. These photos are testaments of that unforgettable moment. As a bonus, Hans didn't throw tantrums not even once.

Blog Hop at MAF

The blog hopping at Memories Always-Forever where a success! Thanks to the DT's for their hardwork especially for Heidi who've organized it. I was just a bit sad because I weren't able to be on the hop itself but of course I did do the hopping on the later part. It was so much fun doing it. I never thought that it was gonna be that way; easy, fun, challenging and inspiring.

I would like to share the challenges I did during the hop.

Heidi's alter a chipboard challenge


Luisa's use your stash challenge ( 3 patterned papers, 4 flowers, tag for journaling, distress)
