October Sketch Challenge

I have just found this blog and all the lovely things that they sell but I was too late to buy anything but I did like the this sketch so I thought I would give it a go and next time I will be ready before everything sells out.

Once Upon A Sketch.. I am a Pug!

October 15th challenge

Journalling criteria: A most embarrassing/awkward/uncomfortable moment or characteristic/feature/habit/mannerism/quality or quirk you or someone around you possesses. Journal at least 2 SENTENCES on a moment that you will remember for all the wrong reasons.

You must combine our journalling criteria with this sketch.
I thought about this for a while, while I have done lots of embarrassing things, there are no photos to show this. However our poor pug Harry is constantly embarrassed by us especially at Christmas time when we get the reindeer antlers out. You can see it in his puggy face, go on I'll do it to get it over and done with for another year. This year will be his 15th Christmas with us, love you Harry Pug.

Get Picky, Happy First Birthday

Get Picky is turning 1, congratulations on a great year of sketches and inspirations you have designed for us to create our pages from.

Here is Sketch #13
Here is my page that I have created, it is Kate before she went to a friends fancy dress party. She really did look pretty. Yesterday while looking for a new paint colour for a wall I found this colour swatch called mermaid's smile, how perfect, just had to include it on the page.
Thanks again for the challenge. By the way the cake that you have on your blog, I love it, so much so it is going to be Kate's birthday cake in 2 weeks! Thanks for another great inspiration.

Baby, just you and me.

You and Me is the word/s for the bird is the word challenge finishing in a couple of days. Now that the kids are back at school I  have been able to do some scrapping this week.
This photo was taken at the Buddy Walk in Adelaide to raise money for people with Down Syndrome.  Kate took her baby along for the walk, her buddy since she was about 2! She never wants to dress it or give it a name, it is her "baby".
It is a very bright page, but it was such a glorious sunny day I wanted to replicate the fun and happiness shared on this day.
