here's what I came up with...

 

 

And here are a few close-ups of the details...

 

I am not normally into these soft pastel colors, but they went so well with the colors in the photo I just had to got with it.

Sketchabilities: Sketch 79

Yay! It's the new sketch challenge release day at Sketchabilities! And here is the goody we get to play with.

 

I just loooove this sketch. I am so happy with how my layout turned out! I'm not always happy with my final product, but this is just one of those times when it all came together just how I hoped it would :)

 

 

These photos of my daughter are some of my all time faves. I've scrapped them before, but I just love them so much I had to give it another go.

 

I used a bunch of different edge punches on strips of patterned paper and then crumpled them up so they would have dimension. Then I just layered them up and added some word stickers throughout.

 

All the papers and stickers are from Echo Park For the Record 2, and I added a few buttons from October Afternoon cause their buttons are my absolute FAVE!!!

 

I don't know how easy it is to tell in a photo but the pink strip around the yellow pp is pink decorative tape from My Minds Eye. I layered it around the patterned paper to make a frame.

 

Well, that is it for me today. I hope you will play along with our sketch challenge for your chance to win an awesome prize and to be featured on the Sketchabilities blog! Just link your layout up here by November 28th.

 

Have a great day

Sketchabilities: Sketch 78

 I get to share the new sketch challenge from Sketchabilities with you today. First off, here is the layout I created based on the sketch...

 

And here is the sketch we are playing with...



I've got a few close ups of my layout to share with you.

 

 

I made this layout of my daughter and her cousins jumping on the bed during a sleep over.

The photos had so many bright colours, I wasn't sure what papers to use at first, but then I came across this paper from my My Minds Eye stash and it was perfect! It's pretty bright, but it suits the photos and the theme of the layout perfectly!

 

You have until November 13th to link up your layout HERE for your chance at a great prize and to be featured on the Sketchabilities blog.

 

I look forward to seeing what you create with the inspiration sketch.

Have a great day

Sketchabilities: Sketch 77

It's sketch debut day at Sketchabilities! Here is the latest sketch challenge...

And my take on the sketch...

 

 

The misted chevrons in the background don't show up very well in the photo, but they are more visible in real life.

 

I used a watermelon die from Lifestyle Crafts as the letter 'A'

 

I turned the large circle from the sketch into a watermelon, with slices of different colors of red paper. I built it up on chipboard to give it some dimension.

 

Supplies used: Patterned Papers-Sassafrass, Crate Paper, American Crafts, My Minds Eye; Cardstock-American Crafts; Washi tape-My Minds Eye; Flair-October Afternoon; Watermelon die-Lifestyle Crafts; Tab-American Crafts; Mist-Glimmer Mists; Stencil-Crafters Workshop; Letter Stickers-Basic Grey; Misc-corner, buttons, polka dot ribbon, embroidery floss.

 

I started and changed this layout 4 times! I had something TOTALLY different in mind when I started but after the 4th change I ended up with this.  For some reason this sketch was quite a challenge for me. I haven't actually decided if I like the final product yet, but it is done, and maybe it will grown on me over time.

 

I would love it if you joined us in our challenge. Link up your project HERE for your chance to win an awesome prize and to be featured on the Sketchabilities blog!  You have until October 28th to play along.

 

Have a great day

Sketchabilities-Sketch 76

Hi friends!

We have a new layout from Sketchabilities to share with you today!

Here is my take on the sketch...

 

My Dad turned 60 this summer and this layout is of my kids helping him blow out the candles on his cake. My Dad is not a big party kind of guy so we just had a small family celebration with a nice dinner and his favorite chocolate cake. We didn't want to burn the house down with 60 candles so we made due with 6 LOL ;)

 

and a few close ups...

Supplies used: Patterned Papers-Echo Park, Heidi Swapp, October Afternoon; Letter stickers-Echo Park; number stickers-Pink Paislee; flags-Echo Park, Elle's Studio; Tags-Elle's Studio; brads-Kaisercraft; Twine-The Twinery; misc-buttons, embroidery floss.

 

I hope you will join us and play along with the sketch. Link up your layouts at Sketchabilities by October 13th for a chance to win an amazing prize and be featured on the Sketchabilities blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great day

Sketchabilities #75

YAY! Today I get to share my first layout as a part

of the Sketchabilities design team!

 

This is the latest sketch we were given to work with.

 

and here is my take on the sketch...

I stuck pretty close to the sketch this time. I did make a few changes, such as I turned the four small photos in the sketch into two, and moved some of the embellishment clusters around.

 

I made this layout about the day I found my son quietly looking at a book when I had gone into the living room to check on him because he was too quiet! Usually when toddlers are too quiet it is a bad thing, but I was happy to find this cute image when I came into the room...I just had to grab my camera before he noticed me.

 

Link up your layout at Sketchabilities by September 29th for your chance to be featured on the blog!!

 

I look forward to seeing your take on this fun sketch!

Have a great day
