My Creative Sketches - April Challenge

Hello Friends! It's sketch challenge time again over at My Creative Sketches.

 

Firstly check out the fun sketch we get to play with this month...

 

And here is my take on the sketch...

 

As I'm sure you noticed I decided to rotate the sketch this month. I left the cluster of layers around the photo in the same spot, but I had my strips of paper go horizontal rather than vertical.

 

 

I loved the banner in the sketch so I added a smaller one on my layout and used it to underline my title.

 

 

On my layout I used the Splendid Sunshine collection from Echo Park. Some tags from Elle's Studio and some flair from Paper Play Studio.

 

I hope you will consider playing along with our challenge this month for a chance to win this amazing prize or to be featured on the MCS blog! For all the details on how to play along check out the My Creative Sketches post here.

My Creative Sketches: Sept Sketch Challenge

It's sketch challenge time again over at My Creative Sketches!

 

I made a fun layout to share with you today using some older pictures of my little guy.

 

Right now we are fully in the frustrating saga of potty training so it was nice to look back on some pics of when things were so much simpler and easier.

 

 

Here is the sketch I based my layout on. You can play along and create your own sketch based on this layout for your chance to win an amazing prize!!! But more on that at the end of this post...

 

 

You can see I altered the sketch a bit to suit my layout. I added more photos and didn't use the large circles in the sketch, but I did create two focal points in the bottom left and top right of the page just like the sketch shows. That is why I love to use sketches, your end product doesn't have to look like the sketch, the sketch is simply to inspire you and give you a direction :)

 

Here's a few close ups...

 

I used the Boy Crazy collection from My Minds Eye. It worked perfectly for this layout.

 

So here's what you're playing for!!!

 

 

Just create a layout based on our September sketch, link it up HERE and you are entered for a chance to be featured on the MCS blog or to win this fabulous prize!!!!

 

I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

Have a great day

MCS: August Sketch Challenge

The August Sketch challenge begins today over at My Creative Sketches.

 

Here is the layout I made based on Liz's fun sketch below. I liked all the white space on the sketch so I kept with that on my layout.

 

I used some papers from Echo Park and Bella Blvd, wood veneers from Studio Calico, enamel dots from My Minds Eye, and Stickers from Echo Park

 

 

This is the sketch we are playing along with this month...

 

 

Here are a few close ups of the details on my layout....

 

The story that goes along with this layout is a bit long and I didn't want to have all the writing take over the page so I wrote all my journaling out on a tag and tucked it behind the photo with a little pull tab.

I hope you will consider playing along with our challenge this month. If you do you'll have the chance to win this fabulous prize that Pam has put together!

 

And don't forget MCS has an awesome monthly KIT CLUB as well, and you can see past kits as well as how to join up right here.

 

Have a great day :)

MCS: April Sketch Challenge

 

 We've got a fun new sketch challenge to play along with at My Creative Sketches! I love the banners and the fun layering on this sketch!

 

I used the Down by the Shore collection from Fancy Pants Designs to make my layout...here are some close ups of the details...

 

I used a bunch of different stencils including the 3x8 Patterned Stencils Set from Fancy Pants Designs to add patterns to the white cardstock background before I built up my other layers.

 

I stapled the little banners on with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

 

I stuck with the red/white/blue color scheme because our tongues were blue from eating Rocket popcicles that have the same red/white/blue colors!

 

I hope you'll play along with our sketch challenge for your chance to win an amazing prize or to be featured in the Top 3! To link up you layout and for all the challenge details check out the MCS blog here.

SOUS card sketch challenge: April 3-16

I'm playing along with the Stuck on U Sketches card sketch challenge...

 

 

All of the items I used on my card are from the Down by the Shore collection from Fancy Pants Designs.

 

 

I hand embroidered the sunshine onto the card. It might look time consuming but it only took 20 minutes. To do it, I sketched out the sun lightly in pencil. I then pierced holes along the lines. Once I pierced all the holes I erased the pencil lines before embroidering with the yellow thread.

 

Here is the sketch we are playing along with this time around...

 

 

I hope you'll play along with the challenge for your chance to be featured on the SOUS blog as one of the Top 3! You can link up your card here by April 16th.

 

Thanks for stopping by today,
