Scrapbook & Cards Today Blog: P12 - September reveal and new November sketch

Hello November. Hello fall-like temps! This is by far my favorite time of year. There’s just nothing like a cozy sweater and a delicious latte. Are you feeling me? Locally it’s $4.55 for a pumpkin spice latte, but oh my, how delicious. We are in the final stretch for Project 12, and that means the September sketch. As a reminder, this is what the sketch Becky created looked like:

And this is what I came up with this month:

We’ve been so busy this month that I actually didn’t have a lot of photos to choose from. At the beginning of the month we were in the Seattle area for a week and I took a lot of photos then, but with a recap layout, I didn’t really want to use more than one photo from that adventure. I chose a family photo with my dad when we took the boat across the Sequim Bay to check out a lighthouse. I also had tons of school photos of my girls together and separately, but just chose one to use. I made it the focal layout of the month because September is typically the beginning of a new school year.

My other photos were a birthday photo with Grandma, and a quick photo I snapped during a summer concert we saw in the park where we live. There were Hawaiian dancers and at one point they invited the kids up to hula, and I got as close as I could to the action. With a random photo like that, where else are you going to put it in your scrapbook than on a monthly highlight layout?

As usual, I have some favorites submitted to SCT that I wanted to highlight.

I love how Andrea did that banner at the top of her layout:

a row of stitches and then the veneer pendant shapes on top. LOVE! I also adore the notion that she doesn’t have time to scrap but makes time for Project 12. Bestill my heart, a reason to keep on with the challenge. Thank you so much for saying that Andrea!

Hello Natalie, you had me at stitched circles.

I love how clean this design is too. Just perfect. A great layout to share this month.

I loved Christine’s color palette. I also liked how she did the journaling with the tiny alphas. Basic bullet points to highlight her month. I also like how she stuck to the sketch!

Thank you yet again for playing along with the challenge this month! As always, a prize is in store. I actually used this product on my layout this month.

The winner of the Xyron adhesive from my blog is: Marci. The winner from SCT is Catherine with her layout here. Congratulations ladies! I hope you like your mega runner, and 100 feet of adhesive! Woot! Send us your mailing information at [email protected] (put P12 winner in the reference line!)

Now that we are into November it’s time to work on those October layouts. As a reminder, here’s the October sketch:

The prize we are playing for with the October sketch is a copy of Becky Fleck's Pagemaps 2. This is a great prize. After all, we’ve been using Becky Fleck sketches all year! Just a reminder, your October layouts should be linked to THIS post!

Looking ahead, here’s the fun November sketch to think about as you live your life this month…

The prize you’ll be playing for with the November sketch is...

Just link your November sketches to today's post when you're ready. I look forward to playing along with you all yet another month. This is such a great challenge, isn’t it?!

The November sketch looks great. Can you do a tutorial or video on pse to edit photos to such a small size? Thank you for posting. :)

Here's what I did: http://clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/media/p/801498.aspx I used the sketch as a jumping off point, but I seriously altered the left side. Very inspiring!

Here's my take on the sketch:

Gotta admit - not my usual style...but it was sorta fun to play with the little pics and random bits of paper. I did end up using most of the photos that we took in November - ha! (Maybe I should've used this sketch for Dec...SO many Xmas pics so far.)
Anyway - thanks for the challenge - I'll miss it when it's gone from SCT's blog!
