So Loved Just The Way You Are
This is a picture of my grandmother, which I am so lucky to still have to have in my life. She is such a funny, feisty and strong woman. 
I used papers from a past KOTM from C'est Magnifique kit club. They are gorgeous! I also used lace and flowers from goodies at C'est Magnifique. Here are some close-ups. 



Gorgeous lace and butterflies. 
I added some modeling paste, starburst spray, and acrylic paint to the background. 

I did some hand stitching here. 


Thanks for stopping by and I hope your enjoying the hop so far. 
Your next stop is to head on over to Jane's Blog and check out her amazing creations.

Sept 12th Sketch Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone! It's beginning to feel a little like fall weather here in El Paso Tx..so strange.  But I'm sure by next week we'll be in the high 90's again. So here we are, with another wonderful sketch challenge from Stuck On U Sketches. This sketch begins today and will run for the next two weeks. Make sure to stop by our blog to check out the other amazing creations by our talented design team. Also, we are currently doing a blog hop with great goodies to be won. So come on over!


And here is my layout: 

Time Flies

This is a picture of my handsome husband. He looked so deep in thought..ha. 
We took a drive into the Franklin Mountains and at the top, we parked and I took this picture of him.  It was a really great day and relaxing for the both of us. 

I used papers from a previous kit from C'est Magnifique. They are so pretty.   I misted a mask on the background paper and also did some punching around the edges here and there. 
I distressed and inked my papers and also used some burlap in the background which I had in my stash. 
The chippies were painted with chalk ink. 
I really enjoyed this sketch, it was so much fun to play with. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by SOUS to play along. We have a fabulous blog hop with some RAKS to be given away!
