Scrapbook Friday ~ "Dream Big"

Scrapbook Friday - August 3, 2012 - Sketch

Hello Crafty Blends.

I am so glad you are stopping by today.

I was so pleased

with the way my next layout turned out,

that I have been cringing to show it to you!

I hope you like it 

as much as I do.

I started with this Sketch

from Erica at My Cricut Craft Room

I love when you can start with a fun

sketch and
your creativity FLOWS on from there 

without any glitches.  

Well . . . . to be completely honest, 

there were a few

minor glitches . . .  

I had a bit of a re-inker explosion 

in the bathroom that left 

my hands looking like I just got done

arm wrestling a Smurf.  

* * * * * 

Then there was the hidden finger daubers

under all of my other crafty supplies 

that were almost impossible 

to find

since my thumb and index finger

 were stuck together 

from the Glitter Glue.  

* * * * *  

Oh, and I tried to take

a break an eat a yummy sandwich in between crafting.  

Let me just say,

it is REALLY HARD to get Italian Dressing 

out from in between

the home-row keys on your keyboard.

! ! ! ! ! LOL ! ! ! ! !

I am laughing, because I took it all in stride, 

and didn't let it stop

me from 

reaching the finish line.

And here is what I ended up With:
