Hi!
I've got two new layouts to share today. The first one is based on a sketch from WeScrap and was made for a recipe challenge over there. It's the companion page for the "Beach Girl?" page I made not long ago. I layered, inked and clustered. I distressed the letters because the blue ones were much too bright, so I had to tone them down. The little fishy was a last minute addition!
My second layout is about the beautiful flowers growing at our hotel in Cuba last winter. I couldn't believe the hedges of bougainvillea! I had problems here keeping a tiny one alive for a year! For the base of my layout, I misted an embossed cardstock, then sanded it to make the pattern show through the mist colors. The butterfly was stamped and colored with Copics. I've just started playing with those! I had wanted to stay away from them because I didn't need another addiction (lol!), but I finally gave in!
And now for the giveaway! Head out to Purple Pumpkin for a chance to win one of FOUR vouchers for some really cute embellies!
Happy scrapping!

I made one of the layout examples for the book, featured on page 5. I can't show you my LO, but I can show you the pictures I used. They were taken last summer during our trip to the Pacific Northwest. On our last day, we went for a biplane ride over Seattle in an old 1940's open cockpit biplane! It was such a cool experience!

Hi!
Here's my latest LO. It's my first page about our trip to Cuba last winter. It was my first time going south for the winter... and I loved it! I've never been a "beach person", so I didn't think it would be my thing. Don't get me wrong, I knew that I was going to enjoy it, but I didn't think I was going to REALLY like it! It felt pretty surreal swimming in the ocean in January when you just left snow behind you at home!
It's based on this sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches. I love muli-photo sketches!
I went with bright colors to go with the gorgeous color of the water over there! I used Tattered Angels "Glimmer Glass" as black accents. I faux-stitched around the page in black also. I stamped little tags for my journaling. I used bling to simulate waves under the palm tree, and added a few cute fish glass beads that I found on clearance at an art store.
Now for my toot! Sassy Lil' Sketches will be producing an e-book, and I've been chosen as a designer! I'm very excited to be part of this project! I'll keep you posted when it's all done and ready to go!
And the giveaway... Purple Pumpkin is having a huge giveaway to celebrate their first year! There's a total of $100 in vouchers to the store to be won! The winners will be announced on July 22nd, so go check it out! You know you can't resist these cute buttons and embellies!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping!

Hi there!
Last night, there was another "Monday Night Mystery Layout" at Love Is In The Details. Those are fun! We build a LO step by step, following instructions that one of the DT members posts one at a time, without knowing what the final page will look like. It's always fun to see the results! So this is my LO, based on Chelsea Miller's page.
This is my first LO on our trip to the Pacific Northwest in August. This is in Rainier National Park, in a spot called the "Grove of Patriarchs". Mike and I were really impressed by all the huge trees out there! We don't have those around here!
And finally, I just wanted to let you know about a giveaway that's going on at Scrap That!, a great new review site. You have a chance to win a yummy kit! Go check it out!
Happy scrapping!

I think I went a little overboard with my new glimmer mists on the background! Turned my page much more orange than I wanted, but oh well... I just had to use my new Fall 2010 glimmer mists colors that I won on the Tattered Angels blog a few weeks ago! The colors are really rich and deep! I used Apple and Sugar Maple on this one.
Here are the last two sketches at Sassy Lil' Sketches. Go check out what the DT members have done with it! Don't forget you have until October 5th to upload your LOs based on any of the September sketches for a chance to win a prize from one of our sponsors! (Check my sidebar for a link to the sponsors.)

Now on to the RAK... This is what is up for grabs...
There were 50 comments total for the blog hop (wow!!). (There were 49 comments for that day's post, but one comment was made on the previous post by accident; it was obviously related to the blog hop, so I added it (my blog template puts the comments at the beginning of the post, near the title, and people sometimes comment on the previous post by mistake...)
I used random.org to pick the winner:
and that person turns out to be:
Congrats Faye Marie! Please contact me at martine(dot)7(at)hotmail(dot)com to give me your address so I can ship out your RAK!
Thanks again everyone for your wonderful participation!

There are two sketches you can use for the hop. Here they are:
Here's my LO using the second sketch.
I had SO much fun working on this page!! I scrapped pictures from the day I spent taking classes with Tim Holtz. That was a great day! The multiple squares on the sketch inspired me to use the many pictures I had from that day. I used different techniques on the other squares in the grid. I pulled out my "Compendium of Curiosities" (that I had Tim sign that day! ;) and just played with my distress inks, crackle paint, acrylic paint, alcohol inks, glimmer mists, distress stickles, masks and stamps! The techniques are really well explained in the book and it was so much fun to play around with all those products. I really hadn't been using my distress inks to their potential! Everything in the LO has been altered one way or another. The background is embossed CS, but all the rest is smooth white CS that I inked or painted. There is no patterned paper at all in this LO, which is very unusual for me! The flower at the bottom is a white prima rose that I inked and misted.
I hope you give these sketches a try! As an added bonus, I'll be randomly giving out a RAK to one lucky winner. (I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the RAK yet... I'm on vacation right now and didn't get the chance to do that before I left...) Leave a comment here and you will get one entry. If you make a LO using one of the sketches, link it on the main blog, and let me know by leaving another comment here, you will get a second entry. You'll get a third entry by completing the other sketch. You don't have to become a follower to win, but if you like what you see, I'd love to have you follow me!
Happy scrapping and good luck!
Martine
