Let's Scrap Leap Around the World Blog Hop

This post will stay at the top until the blog hop ends - please scroll down for newer posts!

Hello hoppers! Welcome to your next stop in the

If you came here from Jenessa Franco's blog then you are in the right spot on the hop! If you did not - all is not lost! Just go to Mindi Brown's blog - she has the blog hop order to help you find your way!

I am so excited to be a blog host for the largest (that I know of) blog hop so packed full of inspiration and prizes! I start every layout and card with a sketch. I have two index card boxes full of sketches from scrappy sites like Let's Scrap,  My Sketch World and Pagemaps. My favorite part of most Let's Scrap layout sketches - they are double layouts! I am a double layout kind of girl simply because I can not narrow down my picture choices for each event so I must use them all! For this hop we are showcasing the card sketches available at Let's Scrap. This is the sketch that I used:

For this first set of cards - thank you cards for all the little men in my class - I turned the sketch on its side. Like this -

I placed the sentiment on the cupcake part of the sketch which on my card is the artisan label with the fussy cut dinosaurs.

On this next card I used the sketch as is with everything in its original location. I replaced the cupcake with a circle and a fussy cut sentiment. As a matter of fact everything on the card is fussy cut from patterned paper. Put those scissors to work girls!:)

Now for the fun part! Here is the scrap sugar I am giving away! Just a few different items from one of my favorite companies - October Afternoon!
