Sketch Thursdays Challenge

The sketch this week over on Sketch Thursdays is for a double page spread, as I had got to do some samples for my monthly scrap crop this coming weekend I thought this would be ideal.



5.12 sketch challenge
http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com

The kit I've made up contains patterned papers from Echo Park, Bella Road range, I've also used a mask from Creative Expressions which I put through the big shot and then sanded the top layer. Title and swirls cut using cricut.

I really enjoyed using this sketch, hope you like my take on it. 

New Challenge for Me

I've often looked at the beautiful creations entered on the Less is More blogspot and thought I'd never be able to do that, however this week I've took the bull by the horns and had a go and here is the result.

The theme is  "Week 14 - Colour Challenge - White on White"

In the photo the velum looks cream but honestly it is white

I've use a crafts too embossing folder and punched out all the flowers using different punches the happy birthday is heat embossed.
I found it quite difficult sticking to one colour however I'm very pleased with the overall effect.
Its my Sister's birthday this weekend so I think this will do nicely.

Another layout prepared for the Vanilla Crafts Thursday scrappers, this time I've followed the sketch for scrapsketch-friday on My Scraps and More blog http://myscrapsandmore.blogspot.com

Once again I've used papers from the First Edition Up Up & Away range, as you can probably tell I just love the colours.  The ribbon is from the same range and the plain card is the Tim Holtz range from Bazzill.  Flowers made using punches.

Photo was taken a few years ago when we visited the water park at Blanes, Spain.

Hope you like it.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

This week #154 challenge at Sketch Saturday is Sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps

It is to follow the sketch below :-

and this is my creation, which I am going to link http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com


I've used card and papers from my stash and the bear with number 3 are decoupage.  The stars are buttons.

Scrapaholix

It was my Scrapholix Club weekend, this month the kit was made up with papers from Sam's Collection by Scribble Scrabble and included stickles.

My layout from the kit :-

I used a sketch from May's Page Maps

You can see that I've used the stickles to make circles.  Rosettes made using my Tim Holtz die and the letters are thickers which we got in the April Kit.

Another New Layout

Another layout prepared for my Thursday Crafters at Vanilla.

I've followed the sketch from So Sketchy for the Thursday Takes Challenge #46 at Sketches in Thyme  http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com/

 

The papers are from First Edition Paper - Up Up and Away Collection from Trimcraft.  I have stamped swirls all around the edge to match in with the swirls on the patterned papers.  The flowers were done using Woodware and Martha Stewart punches with a little gem in the centres.  The photo's are of my girls having fun on Clovelly Beach last July.

Hope you like it.
