It's Mardi Gras...Plus a Great Site for Sketches

I just have to share a little Mardi Gras Cheer with everyone today...Happy Mardi Gras, laissez les bon temps roulez! Be safe, have fun, and don't even think about Lent. If you don't live in South Louisiana I will explain the signifigance of this holiday...it's very meaningful...ready? People here love to party (there is no age limit on this) so this is a holiday that makes continuous partying for 6 weeks totally acceptable. It makes people that camp out at the Civic Center for five straight days of Mardi Gras fun not seem over the top. It allows us to have time off of school to participate in the said partying, and you get to eat cake pretty much every day. In all seriousness I don't know the whole history, and I personally haven't done any partying, but we are planning to go to the parade with Bailey tonight so hopefully I will have some cute pictures of that tomorrow.

It's been a few days since I shared any scrappy stuff, and when I was sick I didn't really scrap at all so I am a little behind. I did a layout yesterday that I think is just pretty and I have a few things I'm working on that I hope to post later this week. Today I thought I'd share a site that I found that has some really nice sketches called Page Maps. You can visit their site here. They have all kinds of sketches-12x12, 8.5x11, tags, cards, pretty much anything you might want to scrap. I have seen several different sketch sites but this one is my favorite because I find these sketches really easy to visualize with the different elements that I want to use.

I will be working with this sketch this afternoon-I have a picture of Bailey that I want to scrap with some red and black Jenni Bowlin paper-the sketch fits my needs perfectly!
I'm off to get dressed, get pictures printed, and get fortifications for the parade later, then back home to scrap!
