SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Welcome!

 

It's Sketch Reveal Day

 over at

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

My interpretation...

The Sketch

 by our own

 Leah...

The lovely photo is my

 darling son and his

 lovely girlfriend.

 

 Such a happy couple!

And. Drumroll....

 

 I have finally used some

 My Mind's Eye

 "Lost & Found Two - Breeze"

I have had the whole collection of

 Lost & Found Two - yes all four sets,

 since they were released!

 

 I just couldn't cut them up.

 

They are such gorgeous papers.

So, I gave myself a kick in

 the butt and used them.

 

Why are we so protective of

 pieces of paper?

But I am so happy I did.

 

Loving the way this page turned out.

 

It frames the photograph perfectly!

 

The border and corner punches

 are from 

Martha Stewart

 "Vintage Doily".



The circular die is from

Tonic

 "Dotty Lace Circle Doily",

 which I moved off centre from

 the sketch to house the

 oval hot air balloon element

 cut from the papers.

I replaced the hearts on the

 sketch with wee bunches

of red roses from my stash.

 

The brown fronds are a

Marianne Creatables Die

"Leaves Set".

Even son said it was OK.

Now that's a compliment from him!

Don't forget this month's prize

 over at SOUS for taking part

 in any of the challenges

during July.

 

Kindly donated by our own

 Helen Gullett.

Now, to head on over to the 

Stuck On U Sketches Blog

 and see what my fellow

 DT girls have done with

 the sketch.

 

Thanks for dropping in today.

Sketch Reveal at SOUS!

 

Welcome again Scrapping Friends!

 

I'm here today with the

 latest sketch

from

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

My, how time flies!

 

Here is my take on the

 sketch by our Leah...

 

 

Leah's Sketch.

I'm afraid this poor layout really

 has an identity crisis!

 



I'm loving all the elements,

and even had some

 fun with glitter.

 

But, I'm not quite sure which

 genre this would

fit into...lol!

The papers are from

 October Afternoon

"Ducks In A Row"

 (2009!!!).

Collectables from the

 Kaiser

"Enchanted Garden"

 Collection.

The beautiful floral sprays from

 Tattered Lace

 "Chamomile Spray".

Youngest Granddaughter,

 Emma, graduating from

 Nursery School.

 

Can't believe the baby of

the family is starting

 school in August!

The prize up for grabs,

 if you take part in any

 of the

SOUS Challenges for July,

 has been generously donated 

by our very own

 Helen Gullett
 - from the
Stuck On U Sketches 

Die Cut Team.

What a wonderful bunch

 of goodies.

 

So, head over to the

 Stuck On U Sketches Blog,

see what the rest of the

Design Team have done with

 the sketch, and then

join in the

challenge too.

 

Remember, we have three

 challenges running at any

one time - the Sketch, Die Cut

 and Project Life - something

 for everyone.

 

Hope to see you all join us soon.

July Mood Board at Black With 2

Welcome again friends!

 

1st of the month means

Reveal Day

at

Black With 2

 

This month's Mood Board

Orange & Grey.

 

A gorgeous combination against black!

 

 

My interpretation of the

 Mood Board....

 

 

I think most of us used

 photo's of sunsets - such

 a perfect choice

 for these colours.

 

This was a photo I took

 back in 2003,

 when we lived in

 Perth, WA.

Using American Crafts

cardstock, and a wee bit of

 Kaiser patterned paper from

 the "Curiosity" collection.

The title alpha's are

Basic Grey.

A Prima stencil,

 gesso and a wee bit

orange paint.

All my elements are orange,

 but I did use a wee bit of grey

 - the Kaiser Sparklet in the centre

 of the Prima flower, which is

 from the

"Caribbean Monster Collection".

So, I finally tried my hand

 at stencil work.

 

 Will certainly have another go.

 

Maybe with a bit more on

 the page - baby steps....lol.

 

Now you must head on over to the

 Black With 2 Blog

and see the stunning layouts

 from my fellow DT girls

 - they have some amazing

 mixed media interpretations.

 

Then, join us in the challenge.

 There are prizes to be had

 every month and also

 featured layouts which are

 displayed at the head of

 the BW2 Blog.

 

Just remember to start with

 a black background,

 use the word Tropicana in your journaling

and the two colours this month

 orange and grey.

 Follow the sketch and use

 the beautiful photo on the

 Mood Board for inspiration.

 

Most important rule of all -

 

Have Fun

 

Hugs
