Smashed - Let's Get Sketchy week 5

Hi there

Here is YOUR 5th week 

inspiration

at

Let's Get Sketchy

Inspiration Photo week 5

Fab colours!!  As soon as I saw this photo, I knew exactly what I was going to do!!

Here is my creation:

Smashed

This picture was taken en-route home from my sons 4th BIRTHday party.  

His Brother got him the "Hulk-SMASH-Hands" LoL

He was "SMASHED"

In my stash, I had MME ABBEY ROAD - perfect colour for the Hulk.

Along with some black card stock and CtmH Superhero,

a lil'machine stitching (in green), washi tape 

and my citrus acrylic dabber,

pulled this LO together.

 Of course, a DIY embellishment

I used my chalk pen to add dots to the 4, along the photo and letters

(sure it's time consuming - but when you love what you do

and do what you love...)

so worth it - right?!

These buttons added to his dream of

"becoming a REAL Superhero"

If he only knew....

 HE IS MY SUPERHERO

ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday - Lettuce Turnip the Beet

Hi there

it's FRIDAY

of a Looong weekend

(well...kinda,  really Canada Day is Tuesday...)

But it's FRIDAY

and 

ScrapMuch?

Design Team B

is up to inspire YOU 

with this great sketch

Sketch-y Friday

Here is my take:

Lettuce Turnip the Beet

Hehehe!!  He's the cutest kid... really!

Every year, we grow our own garden and last he grew 

his Sunny (sunflower)  and green peppers.

He asked if he could enter them into the Fall Fair...

Lettuce turnip the Beet

my Boy wins!!

 I had to use a cute title...

Look at that cute face!!

A few ribbons and little moola

and he is a goofy dancin' machine.

I had the $$$ rub-on waiting for this LO

and added FP sticker date on the deck.

These tags,  are the original Entry tags from his veggies

and I had to include his money envelope - I had kept it!!

A little yellow floss stitching, really popped my corners.

I am really happy the way it turned out and excited he's

encouraged to grow his own veggies again this year!

woody - Fancy Pants Design - June Sketch

Hi there

Jenny Evans 

over at

Fancy Pants Designs

shared this awesome sketch

June Sketch

 here is my take:

woody

This photo was given to me by my sons daycare provider!

There wasn't a day that went by, where he didn't

dress up.... as someone

This was his Toy Story "phase" LoL

I created using the "so swagger" collection but mixed 

in a few pieces of Down by the Shore.

I chose AC felt letters (just perfect texture for this cowboy!)

accenting with the "stylin" arrow

I wrapped the photo using baker's twine to create a lasso effect

and embossed using my chevron folder.

Man oh Man.

He's just the CUTEST cowboy ever!!

(FP rub-ons)

Some machine stitching and layered card stock

with So Swagger tape stickers

and more rub-ons (altered)

The middle sticker reads:

YOU CANNOT TEACH
A MAN ANYTHING;

YOU CAN ONLY HELP
HIM DISCOVER
IT IN HIMSELF.

- GAULEO

I love love love this layout

what an AWESOME 

SKETCH

Thank you for stopping by

Hi there

I think you all know by NOW

it's all about the sketch!!

A perfect sketch

can get-cha movin' and creating

Look at this AMAZING sketch

Stuck?! Sketches

I had come across this picture in my stash and just last week 

my niece had her post-secondary grad party

( = photo op)

here is my take:

now   then

LOOK how we've changed...all GROWed up!

It was a "no-brainer" to use MME now and then collection

 - so fitting!

 I embossed the tags - keeping with the polka-dot theme

and TH masked MS white texture effect

Maya Road plastic velum letters - stitched down.

I love how clean and simple this layout

turned out.

I fussy cut the banner and stitched the ribbon.

Ta da!  That's it!

Two Scrapbook Friends - June Challenge: Warthog

Hi there

I was surfing around and found

this great sketch /craft

over at 

Two Scrapbook Friends

So FUN... a sketch challenge with a crafty challenge

June Sketch and Crafty Challenge

here is my take:

Warthog

I had to do something special with this Christmas card and envelope.

As soon as I saw this challenge, 

I knew -  this was what I needed to do!

How often does a Girl receive a Christmas card from AFRICA?

{ This is my FIRST!! }

( *note I covered our address for Blog world )

I chose to create using the Studio Callico collection - the colouring was bang-on!!

the title: very fitting using Memo thickers (altered)

Our friends, sent us this card

 'Animals of Africa'

Warthog

by Rozanne Tunmer

 - we received it January 16th, 2014

( LUCKY us!  To receive any mail from Africa)

I kept it simple with a few layers, adding some MS white texture effect, machine stitching

and acrylic paint.

I collect stamps but these two will look great in an album.

I am so happy the way this layout turned out!

We miss our friends and think of them often.

Amanda, thank you for sharing this sketch /craft

my hubby is so happy to put the "last Christmas card" away!!! LoL

YOU should hop over and check out the June challenge too

Let's Get Sketchy - WEEK 3 Team A - Pucker Powder

Hi there

 I  am sharing my 

 Let's Get Sketchy   

Week 3

Team A  
Design Team REVEAL

It's Laura's great sketch this week:

LGS week 3

and here is my take:

Pucker Powder

If you have ever tried pucker powder, you too ARE BRAVE!!! My hubby and I tried it and

"it's for the" kiddos!!! LoL

A lil'BO BUNNY and DIY dots (glossy accents + matte nail polish)

help create this "SOUR" layout.

The background started out clean white...

it got messy with Mister Huey's, some machine stitching and ink.

A perfect Dreamy cut file title - a little exaggerated!!

{*take a close-look at his watering eyes}

A loopy banner, baker's twine and a SPLAT

I created a cut file to mimic a tube of pucker powder.

All complete, with Doodle Garden Flock, and a red cap.

This is a simple layout. 

Lots of layers, with some Fancy Pants corrugated paper.

A lot of the little details.

Silly... how much time these "simple" layouts take - HA!

In the end I love how I captured "his moment"

2TC78 (Twisted Tuesday) + LESSology #37 - Chickee

Hi there 

I found a new challenge to try

Twisted Tuesday Challenge

THE CHALLENGE

Include at least 2 animals on your creation

THE TWIST

Include spots or polka dots on your creation 

I also added 

LESSology Challenge #37

Animal Kingdom

My niece, Cora just graduated from

Fanshawe College

and I just had to create this card for her:

Chickee

I had to make 3 chicks - she is the eldest, of three children. Cora is the only girl and the fancy one!!

Look at that chick! Complete with a googly eye, lashes a double bow and crushed velvet flock hair!

Great border right!?  It is the backing of my sticker border that I up-cycled.  It looks great against the washi tape that I embossed with dots. Embossing distressed the washi tape (while photographing the card, I had to get the angle just right to show you the details)  Of course, I HAD to stitch my card (did I mention I love stitching) Even my ribbon kept with the dot-theme.

you DID it!!

Cora you DID IT!! 

She did it!  I am so proud of you all you have accomplished, you will reap all your hard work and determination - Stand Proud Bella xo

I can't wait to celebrate with her later today.

You should hop on over and give yourself the challenge

you still have time.

OK!!  I have to run and give Bella her card before she sees it

here, in Blog world.

Thank you for stopping by

ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday TEAM B - When in Rome

Hi there

TGIF!!

and that means a

Team B REVEAL

is up to inspire YOU

with a 

NEW SKETCH

at

ScrapMuch? 

Sketch-y Friday  TEAM B - Week 2

here is my REVEAL:

When in Rome

I love these photos!  I have always wanted to do something special with them.

(But of course I had to wait for Laura to share her sketch )

This is my YELLOW LEATHER jacket - I absolutely love it!

(you know the one you love but NEVER wear - so you don't ruin it)

I had a TON of fun with this layout.

From cut files, to Gesso, some stitching, cork and flowers.

When in Rome, I did all the tourist hot-spots

I should live there! - I could be... Italian *wink wink

I live all my trips as though it was "my first and LAST time"

this way when I leave, I have NO regrets.

For my DIY embellishment I used a map cut file of Rome

with Bazzil paper flower, MME brad and denim twine.

(Then strung a few more to create a banner)

to add to my vintage theme

I used Basic Grey newsprint, cut it, distressed it, inked and made sure it 

pointed towards my photos.

I used denim thread on top of the Gesso

along with my TH distresser

 ~ SO VINTAGE

I can't wait to see YOUR take on this sketch

Happy Camper: ScrapMuch Colour Challenge + Stuck?! Sketches

Hi There

I had these camping pictures,

screaming to be played with!

It was rainy and cold

and hubby IS wearing his warm grey hoodie

this colour challenge was perfect!

ScrapMuch? June Colour Challenge

along with

Stuck?! Sketches

(and I've had my eye on it since June 1st)

Stuck?! 

I had 3 photos that just HAD to be in this layout!

Here is my take:

Happy Camper

I played around with cut files and some Mister Huey's 

( = messy FUN! )

I mixed in some pink paislee stickers and OA metal badge

Half of my background is misted with some flower cut files,

the other half I used the misted flowers as stamps 

and "flicked" mist (technical term LoL)

I love the effect!

We had decided to go camping May 2-4 weekend (2013)

[ did I mention "I am new to this world" ]

in a tent!!!

We chose Pog Lake in Algonqin Provincial Park

( it's our "backyard" )

It was SO COLD and then it rained!!

WE CALLED it!  Enough!

It didn't phase my son

my

Happy Camper

...OMG!  Look at hubby's face *giggle giggle

- Joey was the first to make a card using one.

Bernina

She (Bernina) didn't get much of a "spot" as the creative juices were

OVER FLOWING - everywhere HA!

I am so lucky to be surrounded by these

beautiful, talented women who share my passion.

It was a ton of FUN
