Ellis Island - SOUS DT

 
Welcome dear scrappy friends.
 
My turn over at the
 to reveal my take on
 Leah's newest sketch.
 
Ellis Island, New York Harbor.
 
Another favourite photo from
 my recent US trip.
 



Leah's fabulous sketch.


I decided to go with one large
photo instead of the three on
 the sketch. Though I did try
 cutting the photo into three sections,
 but it just didn't work with
 this photo. I wanted to
 keep it intact.




Lots of random stamping on the
 background paper, which is from
 the "Base Coat" collection
 from Kaiser.



Hinges from Tim Holtz
"Hardware Findings" die.



Embellishments from Kaiser
 "75 cents" collection.




Flowers from Petaloo.




I hope you will have time to join
us with this newest sketch over at
 
And, don't forget to visit the
 SOUS Blog daily for tons
 of inspiration from my
 SOUS Sisters.
 
Thanks for dropping in.
 
Be back soon
 
Hugs

SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Whoo Hoo
 
It's Friday.
 
That means
 Sketch Reveal Day
 over at
 
And, I'm in love with my layout
 this week...lol!
 
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
in
New York.
 
What a memory!


 
The great sketch from
 our co-leader,
 Leah.



Hubby and I were in New York
 in October, and we had a
wonderful day in the town of
 Sleepy Hollow,
about an hour north
 of the city.



This is the gravesite of
Washington Irving,
the author of
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow",
 after whom the town was
named in 1996.
 
Prior to that it was called
 North Tarrytown.
 
Anyway....



The papers I have used are from
 Authentique
"Spirited"
Collection.




The die cut flourish corners
 are from
 Spellbinders Victorian Collection
 "Victoria Corners".
 
The stamped frame around
the Headless Horseman is from
 Kaiser
 "These Days".



The title chippies are
Jillibean Soup
 "Newsprint Alphabeans"






The gorgeous flowers are 
Wild Orchid Craft
 "Carnations".



The little green leaves are
Tattered Lace
 "Foliage Leaves".


 
Sadly today is the last post for
some of the team.
 
Changes are coming to
 Stuck On U Sketches - a whole new style.
 
We are losing the
 Project Life Challenge,
but the Sketch and Die Cut Challenges
will continue.
 
Further details over at SOUS.

In further news....
 
Look who's in Scotland!!



The uber talented Ken Oliver,
 Prima Educator.
 
At my LSS.
Which is not really a Scrapbook Store,
but the closest we have to one
on the west coast of
Scotland.
It's a craft store in Glasgow,
about 30 miles up the road from me.
 
Now, not many of our esteemed
 "famous" scrappy people come
 to Scotland, so this is
 a rare treat for us.
 
And I am booked into his
All Day Workshop
tomorrow.
 
This is the beautiful
Memory Album
I will be making.
 
And this will be the first class
 I have attended since
leaving Australia.
 
Too many card makers
 here in the UK!!!
 
Go Scrapbooking....
 
*****
 
Now, head on over to
 and see what the rest of the
 SOUS Sisters have done with
 the sketch, and say goodbye
 to those leaving
 us....so sad :-(
 
Then let us see your take
 on the sketch.
 
See you over at SOUS!
 
Bye for now.
