Day 7 - Sketch-A-Thon

For the 7th day at My Sketch World I was inspired to turn the 12" into an ATC. I had to skip the title, but it's on the picture more or less.


Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend!

Day 11 - Sketch-A-Thon

Another masculine card with my favorite papers ..... No, I will not mention the name again .....


I needed some kind of ribbon according to the sketch, so I found that saying on the border of the first page of the paper pad, smart?

So that leaves 3 more to go!

I just hope Graphics45 never goes out of business.

Day 14 - Sketch-A-Thon

A layout about something or someone I love. Well, I love tulips!

In a manner I hadn't practiced for a long time: CAS

No, this is not the tulip. It's a flower I just made today. It is canvas, cut, stamped, then crumpled so the back comes off. This way it looks quite distressed.





This is my creation, I still have 4 more to go!

Day 19 - Sketch-A-Thon

Well, I admit I got carried away just a tad. This is my creation for the sketch challenge on day 19 at My Sketch World.

I don't really feel good about it, it too much differs from the sketch.


I used some very old paper from K&Company, the MS *Around the corner* punch, some lace and a few large brads.

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #45 *Nothing to it!*

Nothing, absolutely nothing allowed on the creations during this weeks challenge at CCCB.

No ribbon, no flower, no buttons, no lace ......


I embossed the images with Powder puffs, stamped with an SU stamp and just layered with Spellbinders labels. The border punch is Martha Stewart. Nothing to it ;)

Day 16 - Sketch-A-Thon

I goofed on that challenge just a tiny little tad.

I did not create a layout, but a card. I turned the sketch upside down. I didn't use any flowers and I completely skipped the title.
 
Sorry Lucy,   
 I didn't ruin your sketch, I just had to alter it a bit for my card.


All stamps are Inkadinkado, the sentiment is a German make, the paper is Bo Bunny,

Thanks for stopping by!

Colour Challenge #44 at the City Crafters Challenge Blog

Not so easy ....

I created another ATC today for the challenge at CCCB. Not really my colours, but the image seems to fit!




Day 15 - Sketch-A-Thon

For the sketch on day 15 I created an ATC. The beautiful image is from Christy Tomlinson, one of the greatest artist in the Mixed Media World.


The background is Tattered Angels *Coffee Shop*, I just added just pearls as I didn't want to disturb the beautiful image!

Day 9 - Sketch-A-Thon

I guess you have realized that I don't do the sketches in order. I design my Layouts and cards and also the ATC's depending on the mood I'm in and the mojo available :)

This is a typical *MAJO*, as I was almost finished with it when I read the rules that came with this challenge: "Create a layout with a specific theme like B-days, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, International holiday, etc...!"

Well, I quickly invented the (national) day of the flower (Aster in this case) and celebrated it :)

This is my creation


The journaling is hidden underneath the picture and tells the story of this page.
