challenged in july2012

I was so looking forward to this month while at the same time dreading it beyond belief. This month marked our 1st flight with the squish. i packed and planned and prepared myself, but, bottom line, it was going to end up however it was going to end up...

Now that we've accomplished our flight and are currently having a lovely time visiting family and friends, I can report that the flight was CAKE. the boy and squish we're wonderful travelers. now i just get to dread the flight home and hope that the 1st flight wasnt just a fluke....

now on to the FUN challenge! This month The Sampler is featuring TWO sketches! A card and a layout sketch. I participated with the sketch challenge...

i snapped these a-little-too-dark photos of the boy on a flight to houston last summer. it was the 1st time i got to bust out my cameo on a layout and i was just having fun playing! keeping it simple and with just the touch of color made me happy on this layout!

to see the sketches, check out inspirations from the design team, and play along, head over to The Sampler's blog ASAP!
