Sketch n Scrap - December card

This is my last post for Sketch n Scrap.... awwwww! But I can really say that this team has been a real joy to design for. To round out my time I've made this card:

I chose to use traditional Christmas colours and went with quilled holly for my embellishment... a simple touch to the pretty rub-on sentiment.

I wish all the girls on this team the best of time. Thanks Lisa for your support and belief in me and letting me loose on facebook each month.

So the challenge is to use this sketch and for the twist - no cardstock allowed.

Sketch n Scrap - November Crop Challenge

It's monthly challenge time again at Sketch n Scrap and I have a card challenge for you.

I've used a piece of paper from Simple Stories that when I folded it looked just like the sketch that I used. I jazzed it up with some thread and quilled lightbulbs and then added some glittery washi tape to the bottom edge. A simple way to liven up some Christmas cards.

So come on over to facebook and join us for our monthly challenges.

Sketch n Scrap - November layout

It's time to share a new layout this month using the 1st of November's sketch:

I used a "new to me" range for this layout. It's called The Timbuktu Collection by Leah-Donna, a South African designer. I haven't used these before but must say that worked so well with my travel photos.

Here is the great sketch that I used:

Sketch n Scrap - WCMD 2019 #3

It's time for our third sketch in our World Card Making Day celebration:

I used some leftover stickers to add a few bits to my card and then my little quilled cherries to keep the theme going.

Head over to the blog for more inspiration from the team.

Sketch N Scrap - Oct crop

It's time for our monthly Facebook Challenges at Sketch n Scrap and here is my layout for today:

Use this sketch and the optional twist is to use stripes on your page.... I used my stripes as the four strips around the edge.

I've been hording this paper for a while as I wasn't too sure what to do with it but then found the perfect photos of us shopping at Fouriesburg "mall"... hehehe. My kind of retail therapy is more scrapbooking related that clothing! In fact I hate shopping!

Come join us in the monthly crop group and have some fun with all the challenges on offer.

Sketch n Scrap - WCMD 2019 #2

It's the second week of October and time for our next sketch to celebrate World Card Making Day (or month as in our case!)

I've decided to go with a cherry theme for these cards.

Sketch n Scrap - October layout

There is a fun 5photo sketch on the blog this month and I really am glad to have one with lots of photos to scrap this month.

I've been holding on to these photos for ages to put them onto a page so this sketch was just perfect. This is one of the last of my 2014 pages that was outstanding (think I have 2 left to do!).

Come and play along with us on our facebook group or blog or even join the monthly challenge group.

Sketch n Scrap - Sept Card

Our newest challenges are running on the facebook group... come and join us for some fun. Here is my card that I've created for my challenge today:

My twist to this challenge is for you to use SCALLOPS. I used a border sticker which had scallops on for my twist. Also, the sentiment sticker has a few scallops on it.

As an added bonus, I only used scraps and leftovers on my card and everything is from different manufacturers. Another great way to mix and match your stash to use it up.

Come play along and have some fun in our monthly challenge group.

Sketch n Scrap - Sept layout

It's time to share my layout using the first sketch for this month.

My layout is about the end of my 100 days of coffee that I did back in 2016... I had the perfect coffee themed papers from Fabscraps for this page so it really came together quite quickly. I also added in some chipboard words and coffee cup as well as the fussy cut design.

Be sure to check out the blog and facebook for lots more inspiration.

Sketch n Scrap - August monthly challenge

It's time to share with you my layout for our challenges on facebook this month:

Besides making a layout based on the sketch provided, my challenge to you is to use woodgrain on your layout. I used it as part of my background papers.

Join us in our facebook group for this and lots of other challenges this month.

Sketch n Scrap - August card

Here is my card for this month's sketch:

I was inspired by the rings on the sketch and thought of coffee stains, so pulled out some coffee flavoured papers and my stamps. Just a quick card for any occasion.

Come play with us on the blog and facebook and see what else the design team has created.

Sketch n Scrap - July monthly challenge

Hope you've taking the time to join our monthly challenge group on facebook... here is my card challenge for today:

My twist on this challenge is to use numbers.... I used three oversized number stickers on my card along with a sticker ribbon strip and sentiment. Also added 3 blings for fun.

Come play along with us in our Monthly Challenge group and get inspired.

Week 14 of my 100 days

This past week has been a hodge podge of projects... I've been working on all sorts of things inbetween trying to organise Aaron's learners licence (that didn't pan out but will try again) and knitting my poncho... it's a nice long blanket at the moment! Anyway, here's what I shared:

Day 92 - Birthday layout for Stick It Down

Day 93 - Heatwave layout for Let's Scrap Sketches

Day 94 - Enlisted layout for Sketch N Scrap

I decided then to try doing a few digi pages for my 2018 album... downloaded lots of stash and got a little creative

Day 95 - a quickpage from Pixel Scrapper

Day 96 - another quickpage from Pixel Scrapper

Day 97 - a matching page for Day 95's layout... done in ProjectLifeApp

Day 98 - a layout for a challenge at TheDigitalPress

So the digi bug is biting quite hard at the moment... inbetween these I still have normal DT commitments to do, managed to get two pages made this weekend for my August commitments. However I am so keen to learn more digi stuff that I've taken the plunge to partake in a few challenges this month... at The Digital Press and Pixel Scrapper... so hopefully I can get them done and uploaded in time and share them here on my blog too in the coming weeks.

There are now just two days to go on this 100 day project and I've still got sooooooooooooo many crafts on the go I might just keep at it... hehe.

Sketch n Scrap - July 1st sketch

I've been hanging on to these pics for a while and when I saw this month's sketch I just knew they would work:

This is the sketch that I worked from:

I chose the predominately red papers for the patriotic Canadian theme. Also used a few stickers that Keith bought me on his last trip to Canada. Don't know when else I would use them... hehe.

Oh and how appropriate is this Canada theme page with it having been Canada Day yesterday?

Remember to play along with us on the blog and facebook.

Week 10 of my 100 days

It's been a fairly busy week of sharing again... lots going on so here's the recap:

Day 64 - Sister Act layout for Let's Scrap Sketches

Day 65 - world map

I made this map as a farewell present for Aaron's geography teacher. I really enjoyed creating it over the last few weeks. I used a clipart image to cut out all the continents as my base and glued all the little bits to each one and then glued them all to the big base.

Day 66 - Frog

Day 67 - Card for Sketch n Scrap

Day 68 - Penguin

Day 69 - Love Being Here layout for Sketch n Scrap

Day 70 - Ellie

These 3D creatures are what I really enjoy making with my quilling but unfortunately I don't have toooooooo much space to make a whole menagerie. I need to find a few different things to make too so am always up for ideas and suggestions.

Leave me a comment to let me know what you would like to see me make next and I could be sharing it real soon.

Sketch N Scrap - June crop

We are changing the way the online crops are hosted at Sketch N Scrap from this month. We are using a closed the monthly challenge group now which you can join here. So come on over and join us. I am sharing this layout for the first challenge:

The challenge is to use the sketch provided and an optional twist is to add some sewing, whether it is by hand, machine, stamping or pen. My sewing is done by pen...the butterfly trail and some stitching along the pink strip.

Join us on facebook for the full details.

Sketch N Scrap - June card

Today I am sharing my card creation using the latest sketch at Sketch N Scrap:

I liked the wreath shape on the card as well as the flowers and so tried to mimic them on my card. I used one that I had coloured a few weeks back but hadn't quite decided how to decorate. The watercolour inky background is the perfect backdrop to the wreath.

I then found a simple peel off sentiment and added a few blings for effect.

Hope this inspires you too.
