Page Maps Sketch contest


Sketch challenge at Page Maps
For your chance to win a wonderful collection of LYB's newest products (a value of $50, shown above), create a layout based on this sketch, in any size, any orientation, any way you want to interpret it and using any products you would like. Post a comment on this thread with a link to your entry. The contest starts today and ends at midnight, Sunday, May 19, 2013 (MST). This contest is open to everyone, everywhere! :) 


Here is my entry. I used BG papers and brads. The paw prints 
are CM stickers. While looking through my "recyclable" treasures
I found these two clothing tags which I thought fit this layout perfectly.
What better place to CHILL than in a large box. :)

Sweet Pea Stamps Challenge



How would you like to win a $50 gift card to our online store???
Here is how:
I would like to promote our stamps to the scrapbookers out there, our stamps are very versatile and I would like to show them off in a scrapbook page layout.

What you need to do:
Create a layout, 12" x 12", using Sweet Pea Stamps as the main focal image (no other stamp companies can be used). You may use stickers for texts and diecuts or computer generated 
sentiments. You must include photos in your layouts.
You may submit up to 3 layouts per person

Here is my entry using the digi image Owl Hearts.
(Perfect for this layout)  :) 


A close up, hard to get a good picture of the stickles that I added.

Mojo Monday card sketch challenge


Another fun Mojo Monday sketch. :)


Here is my take on the sketch.  The mushroom and fairy
are two separate stamps. I colored them with copics and
cut them out, sitting the fairy on the little mushroom. :)
Of course, I added some stickles. :)

Sketches:Creatively Yours challenge


A new sketch at Sketches:Creatively Yours
A wonderful sketch and the inspiration for this weeks
challenge is a music theme.


 
Here is my take on the challenge. I used music notes paper and made a 
strip at the top of the page and used a butterfly punch for some
butterflies.  The title I cut out by hand from a stencil. :)

Sketches:Creatively Yours Challenge


A new sketch and challenge at Sketches:Creatively Yours.
The challenge is to use pattern and texture and inspiration
from the provided photo. :)





Here is my take on the challenge.  I used a paper doily and put a die cut on top of it.
I also put some green stickles on the butterfly. Of all the letters I have in my
stash I couldn't find any that I wanted to use. :O  So, I wrote the title out
by hand and added some stickles to it. :)

Page Maps Sketch Contest


My Mind's Eye Sketch contest at Page Maps.




Here is my take on the sketch. 
I dusted off my CM hexagon punch, which I am glad that 
I did. :)  And used my cuttlebug again to cut the Tim Holtz
heart with wings die cut.  
I am quite happy with how it turned out. :)

Mojo Monday

Another fun sketch from Mojo Monday.




I love this card shape.  I made a card with this shape at a card class
that I recently attended and knew that I would be making more. :)
My card base is white .... I used lots of ink to get it the color I wanted.

Here is my take on the challenge. :) The colors are more vibrant IRL. 
I always seem to get a washed out looking picture.

Mojo Monday Sketch challenge

Another great sketch from Mojo Monday.  The picture is washed out looking. :(
I am finding it very hard to get a decent picture of cards.

Mojo Monday Contest

My entry for the Mojo Monday card contest.
I find it very hard to get a good picture of "sparkle". I used
stickles on the inside of the flower and on the butterfly. I also
used my copics to color in the butterfly.  I even hauled out my paper
piercing tool and poked holes around the edge of the card. :)
