My Creative Sketches

I created this page from a sketch from My Creative Sketches.  Here is the sketch I used.



Class Party

I was really struggling with how to work these photos into a page.  They were so busy and the background was not  appealing at all.  I found a lift challenge over at Scraptastic club that was perfect.  The page focused so much more on the different papers so the photos could blend well.  This was a lift of a page by Nicole.  Here is her page.


And here is what I came up with.

I also created this page for a challenge over at Scrap it Girl to include a shiny star on the page.  I took a regular star and use star dust stickles on it.

MSAM Sketch #63

It is time for a new sketch at My Scraps and More.


I decided to do a bit of an angle for my page and it worked really well with this Simple Stories Daily Grind line.  The background paper already had so many great elements to it.


Hope you will come and play along with us.  You have all month to get the January sketches done.

Christmas is done

Well I should say Chrismas 2012 is done.  I set a goal every year to do all of the previous years Christmas pages over the Christmas break and I finished up my last one last night.  So you will probably see me posting a lot of Christmas pages :)  I created this one using a sketch from Sketchabilities and Rochelle's tic tac toe challenge.  I used corrugated cardboard, arrows, and mist.

My Scraps and More sketch

The newest sketch is up at My Scraps and More sketch blog.  Take a look.


Now I decided to do a little switching around with this one to make it work better with my picture.  First I flipped it on it's side.  I shrunk down all the elements and as I was working with the 3 sections I decided 4 would work much better for me.  This is the great thing about a sketch, you use it as a starting off point and then just let it flow.  It may end up looking like the sketch or it may not when it is done.  Mine leaned more towards the not but it started off from there.  


Hope you will try this sketch out and visit the blog to see what the other ladies on the DT did with it.  We would love for you to play along.  Link your LO up here to have a chance at the monthly prize drawing.
