Sisters and Schedules

This week feels much more manageable than last :). I feel like I have a rhythm, and although this is my first blog appearance of the week, my priorities are in line and my to-do list didn't keep me up last night. Before a new challenge pops up at Sketchy Thursdays tomorrow, I thought I had better share my layout from last week:

This challenge is in conjunction with a blog hop at Scrap Fit, and as part of that hop, we were also asked to use the theme of friends. Well, my best friends are my sisters, so I scrapped a favorite photo of the four of us. The sketch is a great one for a series of photos:

I used one of my favorite color palettes, as well as butterflies from my latest Sampler, Autumn Afternoon. I also used some gold doilies that I've had in my stash for awhile, and some new goodies from My Mind's Eye. Their stamps are my new favorites (lace border).

You can get all the information on playing along here. A new challenge also went up at The Studio this past Sunday: list journaling. I love list journaling as a technique to get words on the page without being too fussy. I used a past Sketchy Thursdays sketch, no photos, and list journaling to describe a typical day:

For my title, I loved the look of overlapping alphas, but I had to get creative so that it was all even:

You can find all the details for playing along here. There's an Ella Publishing gift card up for grabs, so you really do want to join us :). I'm off to get the boys to school, finish up some orders, choreograph a musical theater number for my youth group, and tick a few other things off of my to-do list. I hope your day is as happy and productive as you'd like :). Tessa
