Nuts About Sketches #130

Hi Ladies

Just wanted to show you my take on this

week's sketch over at Nuts about Sketches.

I love these photo's of my girl, she is so funny sometimes.

I used Sassafras paper Serendipity-Gum Drop Garden,

blue bazzill cardstock, Heidi Swapp Self Glitter Letters,

American Crafts button, asstd buttons & ribbon.

I am happy with most of the page, I think I could have done

a better job with the journalling. I am really not happy with

my lack of imagination in that department.

Get on over to NAS and check out the sketch & see

what all the other DT members have done with it.

Better yet why don't you have a go at the sketch.

If you do please leave a comment with your blog address

I would love to check it out.

Well I hope you all had a productive & relaxing weekend.

Have a lovely week & remember

Wee Memories Challenge

Thought I would enter this challenge over at ...wee Memories.

This week the theme for cardmaking is Tutti Frutti.

I remembered I had this great sticker from Cosmo Cricket range DeLovely.

I just love it sooo cute....

Head on over and check out this gorgeous blog, it is so inspirational.

The DT team make the most gorgeous cards every week.

I have never had the courage to enter any of the challenges but I felt a little

more confident when I saw the challenge was tutti frutti

and my pear sticker came to mind. I have been chomping at the bit to use it.

I used Cosmo Cricket DeLovely patterned papers, white bazzill cardstock.

My birds were made with Stampin' Up punch and I punched in

two different colours and then layered the bird to add dimension.

I then distress inked all the edges with Tim Holtz walnut stain.

I also added a lovely light blue nylon ribbon so my little birdies

had somewhere to perch.

Hope you all like, please feel free to leave any comments

I love to hear from other papercrafters.

Nuts about Sketches Reveal

Hi Ladies

My new Nuts about Sketches layout reveal.

This sketch was a double layout but I

seriously do not have enough photos at the moment

to complete one. So I decided to work of the left side

of the sketch. This is the sketch I had to work on.

Here is my take on that sketch.

I have used Cosmo Cricket range "DeLovely".

(One of my fav's)!!!!!!!!!

There is so much going on with the patterned paper

I decided to keep the page as simple as possible.

I am really happy with it and my model Daughter

thinks it's great, so I guess that's all that matters!

Head on over to Nuts About Sketches

and check out what the rest of the DT have done.

Especially for Carmel!

Hi Ladies & Miss Carmel

Here is the page I promised.

I changed my whole idea and went with something new.

This is my take on a sketch from Anna Bowlis from the blog Pencil Lines.

I used a stamp from Stampin' up and embossed it to be a part of my title.

I love this photo so much, it is of me & my little cousin Carmel

it was taken on New Years Day 2000 at my sister's wedding.

One of my favourites ever!

I chose a simple design because I wanted it to be all about the photo.

Hope you like it and I will be back shortly to reveal my new

page for Nuts about Sketches. Until then

Give thanks to tree's & spread the love!
