Missy Muh

I'm tired people........tired! It's Thursday and so far I have made good on my promise to post a new blog everyday this week! I even posted on my personal blog..........funny story about May Day. You'll have to check it out.

OK, today's post was going to be a sketch blog........yes again. Because we can never have too many sketches. I loved this one.......But when I clicked on their guest designer, I was blown away. (for the record, the above sketch was not from her) I heard myself do that little gasp sound and that can only mean one thing........they must be featured.

Missy Muh has a wonderful blog. Claire is an Aussie scrapper, so you know she has that cute accent we all adore. I simply love her layouts. Just look at them............I can't stop looking.......I have those orange wishes...........I need to use them.Their messy in a good way, lots of color........you know I love color and so artistic. I just found her this afternoon, so I really don't know much yet. She could be a "famous" published scrapper for all I know..........I am trying to get better at reading names in the scrapbooking mags, but I'm just not interested in that when I'm drooling over all the fun eye candy. Horrible I know, because I suppose if I was in a magazine, I would want everyone to know it...........but that's not going to happen, so let's move on...............

Anyway.........she's a crafty one with cute kids. She is another multi-crafter. She takes great photo's and even makes her living doing children's photography. Can you just feel that skin? She also makes things and sells them on this site, which I have never heard of. Great!........another site to fuel our addictions.

There's a little bit of everything at her site. I wonder if she'll be as excited as luka bella about being featured? I have to admit.........I love it when people get excited! Makes my day...........so do comments. :) But if you only have time for one comment, leave it for her when you visit her.

Happy May Day!

Sketch This

You know what Saturday is right? I can hear all the cottage gals thinking........"hmmm, yes.....it's thrifting day"..........WRONG!

Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day! Yes, we have a day. It's another excuse for scrappers to congregate, scrap all day, eat m&m's, drink diet coke and did I mention scrap all day?

With this national holiday coming up, I thought maybe you'd like a few sketch ideas for all those layouts you're going to get done. Or perhaps you're new to this hobby and you have no idea where to start. Following a sketch is a great way to get your creative juices flowing. They are also a great way to step out of your regular design box, shake things up a bit.

I have featured a couple of sketch blogs in the past, but today Sketch This is my feature. Miss Janelle Richmond is quick with getting you hooked up with new sketches weekly.

There are great ideas not only for layouts, but for cards. Remember Mother's day is coming up. Maybe you should make a card this year? Like this sketch below.......this would be nice for Mother's day and it doesn't look too complicated. I love it.

You could have fun with these two. Use some coordinating paper and BAM!.......you've got yourself a master piece.This site has a design team, so with each sketch comes several ideas. I love seeing the same sketch done 8 different ways. Very interesting to see different perspectives.........keeping your mind open.............hmmmm, sounds like life doesn't it. We're all so different.......but so much the same.All the sketches could be adapted for layouts or cards. Nothing like being crazy.Love miss j. richmonds work!

Too bad I won't be scrapping this Saturday. SHOCK! HORROR! My in laws are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and I have to go. Gawd I hate being responsible........but if I come down with a cold..............
