Page Drafts...Bringing Back The Mojo!

Hiya folks!  How's the start of your week been so far?  July 1st, my oh my, the summer has officially begun, and I am HAPPY!!!!  Mama is here with my two nieces visiting from N.Y. and we are having fun :)  We've been to Newport Beach, tomorrow we'll be tourists going on a Hollywood bus tour, Mann's Chinese Theater.  Can't not go put your hands and feet in the stars prints, hitting the Santa Monica Pier, maybe some Universal City Walk too.  I sure hope we seem some famous folks!  I also want to bring everyone to a Mission.  Since Cali is so well known for them, figured it would be some great educational exposure too.  Either San Juan Capistrano or Oceanside's San Luis Rey.  Either way, having mom and the girls here has been just wonderful.

Now, have you heard of Page Drafts?  This is a wonderful site owned by Emma Stafrace of the Nifty Pixel. Go, hurry up, go see and then come back real quick, I'll still be here....

Well, whuddya think?  Pretty stinkin cool huh :)  Emma has about the best sketches out there hands down.  I don't mean others aren't as good, but man, this gal can rock the sketch!  What dimension and detail she packs into her pieces.  Lovely my friends, awesomesauce!  I've been a lurking around her blog, stalking her facebook page, but never jumped in, till now that is.  And now I am nevuh looking back!  I love her stuff and will incorporate them into my work when I need a boost and don't want to think to hard, or just want to know it's gonna rock.

I did a layout of my boys John and Santino from Desirae's wedding.  Yes I know, ya'll are getting sick of all the pics from that great day, but hey what can I tell ya, there are about a gazillion pics and I gotta use em ;)  It's kinda funny because there are so many years between them, but they are two very handsome men and I gotta show them off.  I used papers from my Swirlydoo kit for the month of May, Bohemian Spring with a touch of April's Tiffany Kit.  Both were Authentique lines. Have a look, oh and it was sketch # 31/1 -

Truth, isn't the sketch gorgeous? This is the one that called to me the most and that's what I love about Emna, she gives you several to choose from, you're bound to hit one that just gets you.  I also used some bling from the Tiffany kit and a chippie flourish from Creative Embellishments. Some of my own embellies cut with my cricut too.  Did some misting and inking for effect.  Here's a list -
