Good afternoon cherries! Sorry I've been MIA today. Had to deal with some family drama and some comments that my father had said. So I spent about an hour talking to him and trying to explain things. Way too much to write our or anything. But I think everything is good. As long as this house becomes a reality, I won't have to hur anybody. Sigh....

Then we got an update on my grandfather. They are running more tests. They performed a cat scan to rule out vertigo and ear infection and nothing is wrong with his heart or lungs, which is great news! They are just trying to get his potassium levels up, but slowly, as they don't want to give him TOO much because his system will go into shock. But they are doing the best they can. Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming! My family appreciates them!

So..is anybody scrapping today? Me - maybe. Not sure. I am working on getting December Master List updated. Thank you to all who posted on the Master List their links. Very helpful.

And because its Monday, I've got a new Nuts About Sketches sketch to show you all. Its another 2 pager!




Great sketch if you have tons of pictures of the subject or event. I loved this one because I ended up swapping out some of the pics for the Simple Stories SN@P cards!

Great two-pager, Brandy!  Love the sketch, and you picked some great photos to showcase with it.  Love the products, and the yellow striped washi looks good!  It's some of my favorite.  I just placed an order for the washi bundle and had to add some brown striped washi to replace when my DD#2 and her friend used up all of mine, lol.  They were here playing with the little doll house today, and I had to be "mean" and tell them they couldn't get into my tape. 

Hope your grandfather continues to improve and that the tests go well . . .

I'm about to go to my scrappy spot and work on my example for the Dec. Pinterest challenge.  It's going to be a cutesy banner for a friend of mine.  And I cut out all the pieces for my banner which is going to say "Peace", but will be a little on the fancy side.  I don't know if I'm explaining that well, but maybe you know what I mean? lol.  Maybe it's more of a traditional take . . . it will have holly on each end and the word on pennants in the middle . . .

Thanks Kim!

I think I know what you're talking about. LOL. Your letters are fancy, but its on cute paper but adding holly at the end makes it traditional? Which cartridge are you using for the letters? Do you have the Storybook cart? I have that one and those letters are SUPER FANCY!

I was talking about two different banners! Haha. A cutesy one for my friend and a more traditional one for me. I wish I knew how to copy/paste on my phone to show you a preview! I can get it in the gallery, but it's getting late; you'll probably see it tomorrow.

Here's what I've got so far on my banners . . .

I used several Cricut cartridges: Birthday Bash for the letters on this one, Elegant Edges for the background shapes, and Create a Critter 2 for the bear.


On this one, I used Straight from the Nest for the pennant and Winter Woodland for the scalloped hexagon and the letters.


I have everything on the bear one, but need to decide how to attach them together--don't know if I should punch holes and tie them together or if I should glue them flat to a ribbon.  Then, I have all the pieces cut for the peace/pennant one--just need to ink the edges and glue it all together.  I think I will run ribbon through the holes in it, just might need to make those holes bigger . . .
