SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Sweet Summertime.

 

Not too far away now.

 

Although we have had it pretty mild

 here in Scotland!

 

No snow this winter in my part

of the country.

 

So, still no snow photo's with my

 beautiful girls!

 

Anyway....

 

Here is my take on our

 new sketch

over at

Stuck On U Sketches.

The great sketch from our

own Leah...

 

The papers are from

Simple Stories

"100 Days of Summer"

 collection.

 

 

 The laughter rub on is

 from Kaiser.

 

Lots of elements from

 the papers and

 die cut sheet....

Flowers by Prima

 "Perle Bebe Doodle-Deux"

 which I have dotted all

 over the page...lol

Flourishes are a

 Tattered Lace Die

 "Ornamental Rose"

which I cut apart to

 embellish the flowers.

Happy with this lovely

sunny page, and my

 two Granddaughters,

 Rebekah & Emma.

Remember, we still have

 this months prize up for

 grabs, for submitting an entry

 into any of our challenges

 through January,

Sketch, Die Cut or Project Life.

 

The prize is from

 Scrap Shotz,

and totally fabbo it

 looks too!

So, head on over to

 Stuck On U Sketches

 and see what the rest of

 the DT girls have done

 with the sketch, and hopefully

 we'll all be coming to

 look at your take

on it too.

 

Until next time

50th Reverse Canvas Book Box!

 

Thought I would pop in today

 to show the card and gift I made

 for my cousin's

50th Birthday

 yesterday.

 

The card and its box...

 



Made with

 Spellbinders

 "Grand Labels Four"

Spellbinders

"Floral Ovals"

Webster's Trim

Skeleton Leaves

 and

 flowers from my stash.

The beautiful bow - a triple loop, double bow.

Made with the Zutter "Bow-It-All"

 

I have had a few bow making tools

 over the years, but let me

 tell you girls - this is

 THE ONE!

 

I have always admired the stunning bows

that our card making sisters are

 producing and never thought I

 would be able to

 reproduce them!

 

Now I can, in just a few minutes!

 

This was only my second attempt

 (didn't pull centre tight enough at first go!).

 

I am sooooo delighted with

 this tool.

 

I'll showcase some other bows

I have made on

another post

 - so easy!

For the gift I made a

 Reverse Canvas Book Box

of Envelopes!

 

The canvas is 10 x 10 inches.

Pion Designs Paper

 "Studio of Memories"

Marianne Creatables

 "Anja's Vintage Frames"

 

 



The envelopes were all made

 using the

We R Memory Keepers

"Envelope Punch Board".

 

8 envelopes in total,

 in the recess of the canvas,

 tied with an organza ribbon.

Lace trims from stash.

The bow on the front of the box

 was again made using the

 Zutter

 "Bow-It-All".

I hope you enjoyed seeing

my projects.

 

I loved making them,

 and my cousin was thrilled.

 

Happy Days.

 

See you again soon.

 

Hugs 

 

 

 

SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Hi Everyone....

 

I'm here today with the latest

Sketch Reveal

from

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

This week's sketch is by our Leah,

and I have rotated it clockwise

 to suit these great photo's

of two of my Granddaughters

 doing

 "Gangnam Style"

 

 

Leah's Sketch - rotated.

 

 

 

The photo's were taken at

 Emma's 4th birthday

 party last year.

 

The Musical Notes chippie

 is by Dusty Attic,

which I have stippled with

 white acrylic paint.

The papers are from the great

 "Lyric" Collection

from Prima.

I have also 'attacked' the rest

 of the page

 (not very successfully, me thinks),

with the white paint,

 in an attempt to achieve

 the grungy effect,

which I'm not really a fan of, but.....

I am happy with the overall

 look of the page, and the girls love it.

What more could a

Granny ask for....lol.

Now head on over to the

Blog at

 Stuck On U Sketches,

to see what the rest of

 the team have done with

 the sketch, and then

 you must enter your layout,

using the sketch, 

to the challenge.

 

Remember, we now have

monthly sponsors.

 

This month's sponsor is

 Scrap Shotz.

 

On offer to the January Winner,

which includes the Sketches,

 Die Cut and

Project Life Challenges,

are these great prizes.

 

Can't wait to see what you

come up with.

 

Looking forward to visiting

 you on your Blogs.

 

Until next time.

 

Hugs
