Where Did the Time Go?

And I was going to post regularly on my blog.
I had quite a pile of photos from our little anniversary getaway back in July so this week's sketch for Sketch Mania was perfect! I was able to get six photos onto a single page layout - I actually tried for nine in order to stay closer to the original sketch, but it required cropping the photos a bit too small for my liking.
I have done quite a few layouts in the last little while, which means my scrap paper box is full and overflowing. I never know what to do about my scraps - on one hand I hate saving them because I find them so hard to keep organized (and un-organized things drive me crazy); but on the other hand I hate wasting anything, especially yummy patterned paper. This week's Get Sketchy card challenge was perfect because it enabled me to use up the last little bits of some of my {current} favorite papers.
Ok, I realize that at first glance the title of this layout might seem odd... and actually I think my kids feet are incredibly cute and not in the least bit ugly. But, our family has an unfortunate heritage of ugly toes and unfortunately for my kiddos, their feet are showing all the signs of continuing the family tradition.
I always knew that I like scrapbooking, but up until the past couple of weeks I did not realize just how therapeutic it is for me. It seems like the more chaotic our life becomes, the more productive I get in the scrapbooking department.
One of the many projects that I have completed in the past few days is an entry for this week's Sketchy Thursdays challenge. I am being a lazy blogger today, so if you want to see the sketch you'll have to click here.
I have been wanting some sewing themed stamps for a while so I was very excited to find out who this week's Get Sketchy card challenge sponsor was - the wonderful folks over at Stamping Dragon Designs who just happen to have a lovely set of sewing themed digis.
This was such a fun card to make. Since I was doing a sewing theme I tried to bring in as many genuine sewing elements as possible - fabric and stitching, a sewing pattern and an old measuring tape that I put through my Xyron sticker maker.
