paper & cookies: Simple Scrapper Blog Hop

So excited to be part of my first Simple Scrapper design team blog hop. Each first Monday of the month we will share our projects for the current sketch release. I've so enjoyed my first month on this team and loved working with Jennifer's sketches.

With the help of my last 2 Studio Calico kits I got to work.
Mixed a lot of pattern here...

Here's I used a really big print I ordered from Persnickety Prints. They did a really nice job - will definitely order more prints from them:

And one last 'non-amusement park' themed page - my son as catcher in one of his last baseball games this past season:

There's lots more inspiration out there. The Simple Scrapper design team is amazing - so I hope you will hop through their blogs. Looking forward to seeing how they interpreted the sketches. Here's the list in case you want to follow along:
