2 Birds with 1 stone.

It's been awhile since I've played along with any blogs and recent challenges. So my goal for the month of September is to participate in as many as I can. I recently started following 2 new blogs, Sketch ~N~ Scrap and Cut It Up. I'm looking forward to doing many more challenges with them.

The first layout that I did this week actually kills to birds with one stone. The sketch is for the October Guest Designer Challenge at Sketch ~N~ Scrap. I took a little creative liberty and am really happy with how it turned out. This is the first time I have done a challenge like this. I also added an adorable cut out and that qualifies for the "Any thing goes" challenge at Cut It Up.
 
 
 

Title and Grass Hopper are made using the Cricut Playtime cartridge.
 
 
 
 
The next layout isn't for a challenge but just another great sketch from Let's Scrap. It is from the 8-29-12 weekly challenge. I didn't have time to complete it then but saved it for day when I did. For this layout I used bright color papers to help express what a fun day we had when the pictures were taken.
 
 
 

I used buttons to embellish instead of stitching like the sketch shows

 
Thanks for looking at my blog!
