We are very fortunate to live in an area surrounded by National Forest with hiking trails and Forest Service roads where we can let our dogs run loose for the most part. This was taken on one of my favorite hiking roads where you can see and smell the beautiful mountain lupines. The sketch for this layout came from Stick It Down.
Last weekend we celebrated Joe's birthday at The State restaurant. Can you believe he rode his bike 33 miles to the restaurant and didn't even break a sweat? This inspiration for this layout came from Stick It Down's One Page Sketch.
For this month's card sketch from Stick It Down I went a little off course and took some liberties to make the sketch my own. This adorable little rabbit was leftover from another card and I had been looking for an opportunity to use this 6x6 paper. The orange grid on the right is actually the B side.
Another great bike ride to benefit the Redlands Conservancy. Tons of SAG stops including three brewery stops. The sketch for this month's layout can be viewed at Stick It Down.
Kobi and Reggie are our two rescue dogs and as you can see they are super spoiled; I think the title says it all. All the papers are from SU. Here is the single page sketch from Stick It Down.
Here is the card that I made for my Adopt-A-School teacher. I made another 38 cards for her to either give to her students or have them decorate for their parents. In place of the sentiment in the sketch from Stick It Down I replace it with the cute little dog from SU.
This was our first training ride of the year. The trail was in relatively good shape and as you can see the weather was awesome for January. We are less than one month away from the Tour de Palm Springs so hopefully we get a few more rides in. For this layout I followed the single page sketch from Stick it Down.
Here is my version of the November one page sketch from Stick It Down. This photo was taken in Pittsburgh from the Duquesne Incline.
Here is my one page layout for Stick It Down's September sketch. These photos were actually taken outdoors in a cleverly designed "photo booth" using an iPad. I created the sentiment using the Procreate app on my iPad.
Last month I was fortunate enough to have my card selected as one of the August winners. Here is my card for Stick It Down's September challenge. The sentiment and the papers are from SU.
Several weeks ago we went to San Antonio, Texas for the first time. I thought these pictures would work well on a 2-page layout for Stick It Down . A good part of our trip included a 5-hour bike tour of the Missions including the Alamo. Highly recommended and super impressed with the City.
Here is my 1-page layout for Stick It Down's August sketch. These pictures were taken in the Angeles National Forest on one of my favorite hikes.
This year I'm participating in an Adopt-A-Teacher program and I thought this would be a cute card to welcome my teacher back to school. The sketch for the card is from Stick It Down.
Added 9/3/18: I won! I won!
Here is my card for Stick It Down's July Card Sketch. The paper is from Cocoa Daisy and the sentiment is from SU and embossed on vellum.
I came across a new website with three fabulous sketch challenges posted monthly. Here is my layout for Stick It Down and their one page sketch. The photo was taken by my brother during his trip to Jamaica over the 4th of July week.
