I know-I am never creative with my blog post name on sketch days! I don’t know WHY! It isn’t really necessary though is it?
Anyway, I have a very different sketch for you today. I have to be honest-it was a difficult one for me, but I did manage to get 2 samples done for you!! WAHOO!! I usually make my sketches FIRST, create after. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the sketch, it was just a little challenging. I think it was because I had a few images I HAD to use for cards I needed. Having said that, I HAD to use my Bella’s. These two in particular. I have missed them so much lately . I also had birthday cards that needed making, so figured it was the perfect time!
mytimess05 is the keyword, should you need one for uploading to SCS.
YOGABELLA-she has gone uninked for longer than I care to admit. But I LOVE her.
Deep Breath
This one is for my friend Erin. Her birthday was the 13th. I bought her this awesome workout video (and medicine ball)I have been doing for 4 weeks (hello lost at least 3 inches everywhere in 4 weeks! Not too shabby eh?! I forgot to measure when I originally started but have lost 2 sizes :D). It is called Melt it off with Mitch Gaylord. OH boy let me tell you, it works!! I still can’t do some of the exercises but try to do what I can. There are 4 or 5 different workouts, and even one called the Perfect 10, which can be done in 10 minutes. Seriously if you can’t find 10 minutes, thats insane.
So, anyway……she had a baby a few months ago and is having a hard time shedding the last of the baby weight.
NOTE: “I” don’t think that-those were HER words! LOL! I am not one of those people who is like “HERE! You need to lose some weight!” Its something she talks about every time we talk. It has worked wonders for me, so I hope it helps her as well.
So that being said I thought Yogabella was the perfect addition to the gift. I wish I had owned weightwatchabella, but sadly I don’t :C She is on “the list” though. I did change my card a bit to fit my theme and elements of my card. This is a 4 3/4 X 5 1/2 size. The goal is inspiration! LOL!
Next up, my friends son is turning 2!! We have his party next weekend, so by a miracle I am ahead of the game! I think he looks just like this boy. (Sorry for the photos-I took them this morning with little lighting, due to sheer laziness)
Birthday Boy
This is miniwagonfella. Yes, another uninked for too long. I think he is just the cutest though, and really fit my layout! I was inspired by my pack of paper by Making Memories. Its great boy themed party paper!! I used my cuttlebug baby face alphabet to create the #2. The sentiment is from Its a celebration set.
I wanted to do what I call a faux layer-so I pierced the “faux” layer for some more detail. I have done this on many of my creations over the years when I am “stumped” for a “little” something, but don’t want to over do it. This is usually a great solution. Plus I felt in this case, it brings your eye to the #2.
I think his mom will like the card. Let’s be realistic, 2 year olds don’t care. I make cards more for self satisfaction thatn anything 😀
SO, there you have it!
I hope you like the sketch today, and get some time to give it a go! Send us a link here so we can all view your take on it.
Also be sure to check out the Sketch Team girls for more amazing ideas 😀
As always, thanks for reading!
Tomorrow I will share Alexa’s birthday invitations. I am so excited since she hasn’t seen them yet! They came out cool considering our “theme” for this year.
Stay tuned!

Very cute cards. I’m glad to here that your sketch was challenging for you too, I thought I was the only one! The little boy in the wagon is too cute and I love the paper piercing that you did. As always, thanks for the sketch!
Too cute! I was eyeing that little boy Bella for my last order! I resisted, though. (Got other ones, instead… ;)) I also keep trying to figure out a reason for why I need the Weighwatchabella, but have been unsucessful. 🙁 She’s adorable. Your idea is a good one, though!
Super cute! This is going to be a HUGE challenge for me.
Awesome Job on both cards!
Both cards are wonderful…love the images and colours used…oh and you made me giggle when you said EH! haha
Lauren I love your cards today they are awesome! I made a wall hanging that I put in a frame instead of a card, using your sketch!

Finally got to upload my card. This was a tough sketch for me. Thanks for the challenge. Here’s my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1056393
Lauren I sent you a e-mail, but in case it did not work. I uploaded my Take on the sketch today. I also posted two other projects that totally reminded me of this weeks sketch, they are a little different, but the sketch is what made me think of them. One is a Scrapbook page, and one is a card.
Also my good friend can not seem to post comments on your site so I am going to give you the link to her site since she can not do it. She did two different projects for the swap. Her address is:
