Unscripted NSD

Happy Saturday morning! It's not an overly happy one for me because my vacation is over and I'm headed back to school on Monday. I'm not ready!!! But I guess I need to just look on the bright side that we only have 35 days of school left....LONG days!

Today is National Scrapbooking Day so for this week's Unscripted Sketch I did a layout. Will I ever finish this scrapbook? I hope so because my friend's baby is due tomorrow and I hoped to have it to her before the baby came. Maybe before the kid's first birthday at this rate!

My favorite part of this is the bow that matches the bride's dress. I'm not overly pleased with the rest but that's probably why I've been avoiding scrapbooking. Any tips on just jumping back into it? I can use all the help that you have to share.

For now, head over to Unscripted Sketches to play along and see what other inspiration the DT provided you with.....

Another page done

Another Saturday brings another Unscripted Sketch. The sketch screemed layout to me (though this morning it's screaming card) and for me another scrapbook page done for my friend's shower album. I just translated those squares into something a bit larger.....

This page has the bride's two cousins and I just love seeing her little cousin's wish for her married life: happiness! So cute!

If you haven't been to visit our two new Unscripted designers yet, Arielle and Debbie, be sure to check out their amazing work and welcome them to their second week on the DT. I'm off to work today and can't wait to see what you've created when I check back in!

Motherly Advice

In keeping with my New Year's resolutions to finish some projects, I used this week's Unscripted Sketch to make a layout for my friend's scrapbook. So now I have three pages done and I started in May. Ugh!

This week's sketch was created by Steph, and though I had about 50 ideas for cards to do I decided to challenge myself. And as you can see from my interpretation it truly is Unscripted: Flip it, Rotate it…There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the basis for your creation. I took that quite literally with this one!

At my friend's shower we had these cards out for people to leave words of advice, and wedding wishes on. This is the bride with her mother and future MIL so the cards are their words of wisdom to her. I'm not in love with it, but another page done and I'll work on a few more over the long weekend. Not only did I start finally finishing this because she moved back to NH, but did I mention she's having a baby in May? So I need to get this finished!

I'm taking at least one full day this weekend to have fun creating and just sitting around blog hopping. Can't wait to see what you create at Unscripted Sketches!

Memories For the Bride

Happy Saturday morning! Time for another Unscripted Sketch, and this week I thought I'd try my hand at a scrapbook page.

As you can see by the date, this has been waiting for me for a LONG time! Three years ago I was a bridesmaid with many aspirations....one being to make this memory book of Aimee's shower. No pictures yet, just the invitation for the first page--one of my first card making projects actually! So there are sure to be more scrapbook pages in my future now that I've begun, and especially now that she's back in NH and I'll see her more often. Guilt is the ultimate motivator!

Be sure to head over to Unscripted Sketches to see the sketch for yourself and play along. Check out all the other DT's fabulous work too. You can click on their names on my sidebar to go directly to their pages. Thanks for stopping by, have an unscripted weekend!
