Here's the sketch:



And here's my version. The polka dot strip of paper, as well as the little punched butterflies are from our sponsor, Bella Blvd. I used lots of different alpha stickers for the title. It's really a challenge for me to work with bright colorful papers!

Come join us for a mystery sketch!!

Hey scrappers, we want you!!

The sketch team at Let's Capture These Sketches is planning a mystery sketch for the week of November 29th to December 3rd. We want you to join us and get in on the fun!

On Monday, November 29th, we will post the first part of a sketch, then on Tuesday the 30th we'll add the second part, and it will continue until Friday. And just to make it more interesting, you can't view step #2 until you've completed step #1, and so on. We will let you know what type of picture you need (landscape or portrait) and how many, so that you can have them ready in advance. And you could maybe have some papers all lined up and ready to go too!

Spread the word, post this ad on your blogs if you like, the more that play along, the more fun it will be! If you post on your blog about the mystery sketch and leave a link in the comments here on my blog to let me know by November 28th, I'll put your name in a drawing for a small RAK from me! There will also be a RAK drawn at the sketch blog from everyone who completes all five steps!

Hope you join us!!

My sketch is up at Let's Capture These Sketches!

Hi there!

Today it was my turn to provide the sketch for Let's Capture These Sketches! It was actually my first time creating a sketch! (Ok, I'm really not very digi-inclined, so I actually just drew my sketch with paper and pen...) It was fun! My challenge was to use patterned papers only, no cardstock allowed!

So here's my sketch:



And here's my version of my sketch.



I actually ended up modifying it a lot more than I usually do when working with sketches! Go figure! Actually, it was all my fault... My challenge was to use pp only (which I often do, I don't use cardstock much), but we had received some pretty Bella Blvd papers from our November sponsor, and I didn't have many big pieces left after a few layouts! In a any case, I'm happy about how this one turned out, even though I digressed from my own sketch!

Go check out the rest of the team's pages here! I hope you can play along with us! Don't forget to link up your creation by the end of the month to win a yummy prize from our sponsor Bella Blvd!

Sketch #35 at Sketchabilities!

Hi there!

Today is reveal day at Sketchabilities! Head on over to check out the new sketch, as well as the wonderful creations by the DT!

This is sketch #35:



And this is my take on it:



If you remember my post here for the last reveal at Sketchabilities, I did a LO about my mom when she was young for my parents' upcoming 50th wedding anniversary. I did a similar page for my dad with this new sketch. This time, I used the blue "version" of the Life Stories line from My Mind's Eye instead of the pink for my dad though! The chipboard is from Cosmo Cricket's Everafter collection. I thought the colors worked perfectly with these papers. The background of the chipboard was white though and stuck out too much, so I just inked it up to make it blend a bit more.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my page. Be sure to go check out the rest of the reveal here! You'll be inspired for sure!

Happy scrapping!

November 7th Sketch at Sassy Lil' Sketches and New Sponsors!

Hi!

Pop on over to Sassy Lil' Sketches for the new sketch and reveal! Here's Cherie Averill's cool sketch. Love all the blocking! So many possibilities!





Here's my take on it. It's a place called Paradise, in Rainier National Park in Washington State. It was so gorgeous there, with the mountains and the valleys FILLED with wildflowers! At some places, there were so many lupines that you could actually just smell them in the air as you walked in the trails! It was beautiful! And such a nice, sunny day too!



In this LO, I used a mix of BG Olivia and Oliver papers, some Zva bling swirls, a bit of Stickles, and some faux-stitching using my Scor-Bug embosser and white pen.

Go check out what the rest of the Sassies did here! Then give it a go! You have until December 5th to link up your LOs based on any of the November sketches for a chance to win a prize from one of our sponsors!

This month, our paper sponsor is Paper Wishes (US participants only)


and our digital sponsor is Sassy Studio Designs.


Happy scrapping!

Sketch #61 at Let's Capture These Sketches!

There's a new sketch up today at Let's Capture These Sketches! It's a wonderful sketch by Heather Derbecker. The challenge is to use an animal somewhere on the page, either on the paper, the embellies or the pictures. Here's the sketch:



And here's my take on it. Our sponsor this month is Bella Blvd, and we were all lucky enough to get some goodies to play with! On this LO, the paper, the banner and the white letter stickers are all from Bella Blvd.



For the background, I sanded a piece of Core'dinations Jenni Bowlin embossed cardstock. I matted my photos with some MidTerm papers from Bella Blvd, and rounded the corners. I cut out the banner from the same line of papers, stamped the title, then added a thin line of Christmas Red Stickles. The big red heart is a leftover from a previous page. I had inked, glittered and diamond glazed a chipboard heart for a LO about my parents' wedding, but ended up not using it. I thought it was perfect for this LO about my special kitties! The big cat sticker, the sticker frame (which hides journaling underneath) and the cat brads on the bottom right, have been in my stash forever! It feels great to finally use them!

The journaling explains the story of my two special kitties, Sable and Chipper, two brothers who loved each other so much, although they were so different, both in appearance and character! I didn't expect them to come into my life (my roommate at the time wanted some kittens and I just went along...), but they changed it forever! I'm now a certified crazy cat lady! lol! I had Sable for almost 11 years. Chipper is still with me, he's almost 18. I have other cats too, but I don't think there will ever be other kitties as special as these two for me!

Ok, enough rambling! Go check out the rest of the DT's reveal here. And don't forget to play along with any of the sketches in November for your chance to win a yummy prize from Bella Blvd!



Happy scrapping!
