Have fun!

Here are photos of my son being his super happy self in the morning at Grandma's house after Christmas. I just love this outfit on him!

Products used: Patterned papers: Basic Grey (quilt), K&Company (white/blue); Letters: echo park (scrabble); Tools: Cricut Create a Critter (whales), Opposites Attract ("rise"), and Lyrical Letters ("shine") cartridges; Sketch: Allison Davis

Variation: I used this sketch pretty literally. But I had to swap out the stars for some cute little whales to match Tobin's outfit.

A little bit about me:

When it comes to paper crafting I am... addicted!

Where do you craft? Since we moved into our new home, I inherited this odd nook between the front door and fireplace that divides the great room. It has large windows but an awkward wall configuration. So I get tons of light but have to be pretty creative with storage. Unfortunately, the windows are so nice that the cats trample my desk throughout the day to get to them.

When I am creating, these are the things I have to have around me... Paper, Cricut, adhesives, scissors, sunlight, magnetic mat.

When I am not creating, you can find me... Entertaining my 8 month old son, Tobin.

When it comes to sketches I... have to have them! I love playing around with patterns and color. I leave arrangement up to the experts.

Another Sketch Support layout. You can see the sketch and more great inspiration for the design team here.
