Thank U for being my everything

Here is my DT layout for Sketchabilities #68:

Supplies:

cardstock - core'dinations

patterned paper - Jillibean Soup, Studio Calico, Cosmo Cricket, Webster's Pages

trim - Pink Paislee, Webster's Pages

brad - Jenni Bowlin

These are my favorite photos.

So I decided to make a layout with my daughter's favorite colors - pink and green.

And I love this title, "Thank U for being my everything". Actually she's my everything.

And this layout is based on this sketch:

This is the last layout for my DT term at Sketchabilities. I can't believe that! Time flies...

Sketchabilities #68のLOです。

これがDT最後のLOになります。時が経つのは早いものだと本当に思います。

このLOに使った写真は結構気に入っています。

なので、娘の好きな色（緑とピンク）を使ってLOをつくることにしました。

このタイトルもなかなかステキです。

Baby

These days I've been busy at work - so many things to do, so many people to meet (but I had an exciting day today - I met the designer for My 365 app. I'm an Android user and am looking forward to My 365 for Android.), and what is worse my daughter caught a cold and I had to look after her.

But I didn't forget to make a layout for the sketch #67 for Sketchabilities - I love it, though it seemed too difficult for me at first:

Here is my layout for the sketch:

Supplies:
cardstock - core'dinations
patterned paper - BasicGrey, Prima Marketing, K & Co., Cosmo Cricket, Pink Paislee, Webster's Pages
sticker, flower - Prima Marketing
button - BasicGrey
other - washi tape, hemp twine, vintage lace, tulle

Now I can hardly believe that my daughter was such little! And it was only 3 years ago!
Anyway she was a baby, and it's just one of my million moments that I must remember.

最近仕事が忙しく、最悪なことに娘が体調不良でその面倒も見なければならず、その上今回のスケッチは（私には）難しくてかなり大変でしたが、SketchabilitiesのDTレイアウトです。

娘が小さかった頃の写真を使いました。
もう今では、以前はこんなに小さかっただなんて信じられません。その上、それがたった3年前だなんて。
時が経つのも、子供が成長するのもはやいものです。

毎日をしっかり記録したいものだ、とか言ってみる。（今日、My 365のデザイナーさんと会ったので若干感化されてます。）

girly girl

Here is my DT layout for Sketchabilities:

Supplies:
cardstock - core'dinations
patterned paper - BasicGrey, 7gypsies, daisy d's, K & Co.
pearl, rhinestone  - Prima Marketing
sticker - Making Memories
brad, chipboard, trim, tab - BasicGrey
ticket - Tim Holtz
other - resin flower, masking tape, magic mesh, vellum

My daughter dressed up on my brother's wedding, and she looked so girly.
She seemed she was enjoying her dress, but she didn't like to have flowers on her head.

兄の結婚式に参加したときの娘の写真を使いました。ドレスを着ると、こうも女の子っぽくなるものかと…。
ドレスは気に入ったようですが、頭に花をつけるのは嫌だったようです。

haircut

Here is my DT layout for Sketchabilities #65:

Supplies:

patterned paper - Sassafras Lass, Pink Paislee, 7gypsies, BasicGrey, Glitz, Prima Marketing

sticker - Jenni Bowlin

chipboard, brad - Sassafras Lass

tab, lace trim - BasicGrey

other - pom-pom trim, sewing pattern, dymo

My daughter's first haircut - I bought a book titled "haircut at home" and I cut off her hair.

I loved her new style, and so she loved.

Teachers at her nursery school asked me "did she go to a hair salon?" and I (proudly) answered "no, she had her hair cut by me".

I used a pie chart to show how I felt after haircut - kawaii (cute) / yatta (I did it) / niau (looks nice) / mijikai (short).

I think I did a great job, lol, and since then I sometimes cut her hair. Snip snip...

sketch:

Sketchabilities #65のLOは娘の初めてのヘアカット後の写真を使いました。

おうちカットの本を買って、自分でばっさりやってみました。結構自分では気に入っています。娘も気に入ってくれました。

円グラフにはそのときの心境を。はさみの絵が入っていたからヴィンテージの型紙もLOに使いました。

保育園で先生たちに「美容院行ったんですね」なんて言われて、「いや、自分で切りました」と自慢げに答えたりなどして楽しみました（笑）

その後もたまに切ってます。

like a model

Here is my DT layout for sktechabilities #64:

Supplies:
patterned paper - Prima Marketing, BasicGrey, Pink Paislee
flower - petaloo
sticker - Prima Marketing, Glitz
trim - Pink Paislee
other - kraft cardstock, hemp twine, eyelet, paper doily, corrugated board

In November we went to a photo studio to take photos for my son's first birthday.
But he looked worried in an unfamiliar place.

On the other hand, his older sister (who was supposed to be a second fiddle that day) had a great time there. She enjoyed posing, changing her clothes, and then posing again, like a model.

The sketch this time is elegant, so I chose soft colors for my layout.
I enjoyed spraying glimmer mist randomly on the mistable trim.

Here is the sketch:

sketchabilities #64のLOです。

11月に息子の1歳の誕生日写真を撮りに行ったときの写真です。
息子はどうも、初めての場所でご機嫌があまりよくなく…

逆に、本来脇役のはずの娘が大はりきりで、最初は緊張していたものの、徐々にポーズをとったり、着替えたりと、モデル気分を満喫していました。

今回のスケッチはエレガントな雰囲気だったので、やわらかい色合いにしてみました。
Pink Paisleeのトリムにグリマーミストをランダムに振ったのですが、これが結構楽しかったです。スプレー1回ごとに表情が変わり、後戻りできない緊張感もあり…。

celebrate - beautiful smile

Here is my first DT layout for Sketchabilities:

Supplies:
cardstock - Bazzill
patterned paper - BasicGrey, Sassafras Lass, Webster's Pages, Cosmo Cricket
rub-on - My Mind's Eye
transparency - Hambly
other - magic mesh, masking tape

My daughter's 3-year-old celebration - in Japan, parents with children of 7, 5 or 3 years old  celebrate their children's growth in November (the celebration is called 753). Children usually wear kimono (Japanese traditional dress) and go to a shrine with their parents and/or grandparents.

It was her first time to wear kimono. At first she was so excited, but soon got tired. (Being in kimono is a hard work!)
Anyway, the photographer did a great job and succeeded in shooting her smile :)

And here is the sketch:

I love this sketch, it's so beautiful! Don't you think so?

Come join us, I can't wait to see your wonderful creations :)

娘の七五三のときの写真をつかいました。
珍しく、いい笑顔です。（いつもは不自然に笑ったり、舌を出したりして全然いい写真が撮れない…。）

Sketchabilitiesはスケッチがすごくきれいなので、是非一度このスケッチをお楽しみください。
ここだけの話、私は今回苦戦しましたが（笑）
