Title: A Life Worth Capturing
Description: I didn't follow the sketch exactly, I used it more as a jumping off point. Since there are not rules in scrapbooking, it's okay to follow your creative flow even if you stray from the original design. Scrapbooking for me is enjoying the creative process just as much as finishing my layout. 
Journaling: i love photography. i need to tell stories. i want to experience new things. i love the outdoors. i love to travel. i love my family, friends, and my sweetie Shane. i need a creative outlet. i want a record of my everyday life. i want to remember a life worth capturing. 
Supplies Used: cardstock, rub-ons (American Crafts) + patterned paper (Kaiser Craft) + acrylic accents (Creating Keepsakes Kit of the Month) + brad (BasicGrey) + word sticker (Creative Imaginations)

Title : i love school

Description

Photos taken a week before i deliever my second kid. One of the last few rare moments of me with my older girl.

Her childcare was just a min walk away from our home, but that min of walk seems so precious and short, and seeing the

girl grow and enter into a new phrase of life, is enough to bring tears. I don't really have much photos of her, wearing uniforms and attending class,

but these few rare shots are my favourite.

- KI, School Days - Multi Strip

- KI, School Days - Penmanship

- KI, School Days - Chipboard Stickers

Title: Social Butterfly
Description: My version of this sketch is more abstract than usual but I just had to follow my inspiration. When I sat down to design, I started playing with the diagonal strip and some butterfly accents. Then my creativity took flight (pun totally intended :0) Remember...there are no rules for using sketches; it's just a starting point. 
Journaling: I've always been known as a social butterfly and I always put my gift of gab to good use. 
Supplies Used: patterned paper (Scenic Route, Jillibean Soup (butterflies)) + letter stickers (American Crafts) + paint (Making Memories) + buttons

Title: Philo's Gals

Journalling: Luke 10:27 Keep growing and loving

Description: This cheeseboard was altered as a gift for the Beloved's aunt, a wonderful lady with four beautiful grand-daughters. The gals are wonderful to hang out with and I'm looking forward to spending time with them soon. The butterflies were created by swiping different inks on paper before punching them out. That way, the colors on them tie in with the colored Sassafras Lass edge on the top of the board.
