Grade 2 - ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday March 4

Hi there!

 I am sharing my

latest double page

It's Friday...

Sketch-y Friday 

with

 ScrapMuch?

Grade 2

I had one sheet from Karen Foster Designs, and this brick paper by

Authentique - it looks his school walls

I love how they flow together.

This is my littles' first day

of Grade 2

He's a serious little guy so

it's great to see him have fun.

Here are some close ups:

Left side

Right side

 Doctor Soos cut file title (I left the D middle in) and fussy cut cork 2

with some paint splatter / graffiti on the wall

 Last Saturday, 5 of us gathered for an impromptu swap and crop

I swapped this Learn card from my girl, Ronna.

Perfect colour and fit for my page.

 In place of a circle, I cut a large apple

and monogrammed it with  j

 Topped the apple with a fussy cut cork stem.

 Here is Laura's sketch:

PROUD - ScrapMuch? + Lasting Memories + Rochelle Spears

Hi there

Inspired by another sketch from

Laura

PROUD

 My little guy (at the age of 5) came home and said

"they gave me this green piece of paper on stage....

in front of the whole school! (2014)

He WON the most COMPASSIONATE AWARD

for his school

He had NO IDEA! until we read it together

...Look how proud he is!!

Here are some close ups:

 Fancy Pants alphas - altered with some Glitter and Glam

I embossed half of the letters

 Added a match-y Glam star,

embossed his ribbon, and added a sticker

HAPPINESS = YOUR SMILE

I tucked a Polaroid frame under,

then did some doodling with a chalk marker.

Added some Bling to my layered stars

Here is Laura's Sketch:

ScrapMuch? Feb-26

My friend Sandy inspired me to play along

with 

Rochelle Spears

and

Lasting Memories

Theme: "Welcome to the Oscars!"

"Glitter and Glam"

2 - Stuck?! Sketches - Feb 15th

Hi there

Found some scrappy time

inspired by the amazing sketch by Laura.

2

I chose a black background for school photos...but with 

busy paper, it works well 

and matches his shirt.

 Here are some close ups:

 Grade 2 and of course his thumbprint,

messy paint with Time Holtz 

 I tucked my photo under the cut file and

faux stitched using my chalk marker 

Tucked more stars with acrylic paint and 

Tim Holtz Dot Fade Stencil.

Here is Laura's inspiring Sketch:

Stuck?! Sketches Feb-15

oh SN@P! 2

DILL PICKLE - ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday - Design Team REVEAL

Hi there!

Today I am sharing my

latest

ScrapMuch?

Sketch-y Friday

REVEAL

Dill PICKLE

This is my youngest nephew, Dylan.

He picked up the nick name Dill Pickle.

In these photos,  he is about the same age 

as my son now

- WOW do they ever resemble each other.

I created using My Mind's Eye collectable collection and stickers.

Here are some close ups:

 Silhouette cut file "D" mixed with Thickers tile letters

 Silhouette cut file Polaroid frame, Laura's DIY enamel dots 

(to match - Glossy Accents and matte nail polish) and wooden buttons altered

(I painted the naval Blue to match but they have photographed darker)

 My Mind's Eye sticker layered

Here is Laura's SKETCH:

ScrapMuch? Feb-19

My take on this FANTASTIC sketch:

I chose an over-sized letter D,

to accommodate my larger photos

and lifted the title to the top of the photo's

(since I was using the "D" in the title)

- it works!

Now it's YOUR turn,

hop over to see Team A's REVEAL,

get inspired and remember to LINK UP 

for your chance to WIN!
