March 23rd Sketch Challenge At Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone! We have another wonderful sketch challenge for you to play along with from Stuck On U Sketches. This sketch will run for two weeks, so come on over and join in on the fun!

And here is my interpretation of the sketch:

Just Adorable

First, this is a picture I took of my cousin and godson, hanging out and being silly. 

Now these papers are just awesome! They are so clean and vintage, it was hard to add pops of color. I tried to keep it neutral, to give it that romantic feel. 

Hope I did it justice. The papers are from Pion Design. I added some brads, chippies which I painted and distressed. The flowers and die cuts came with my KOTM from C'est Magnifique. I just loved this beige and simple design.  

Head on over to our blog and check out the other designers amazing creations. 

TFL and have a great week! 

May 9th Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone! Today is another reveal for a great sketch at Stuck On U Sketches which will run beginning today for the next two weeks. Please head on over to our SOUS blog and check out the rest of the design teams amazing creations. Below is the sketch provided by our Leah Schaeffer.

And here is my interpretation: 

You Make Me Smile 

This is a pic of my DH while we spent time away from home for my birthday weekend. It was super chilly outside, and windy but we still had a great time. 

I used papers from my KOTM from C'est Magnifique. The papers are from a Denmark collection called the fall flea market. They are super gorgeous. The flowers are also from the kit. 

The sketch above provided lots and lots of layering which I luv to do. I also used moon shadow mist from lindy's stamp gang. I ink distressed the edges and painted the chippies with chalk ink. 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit SOUS.

Hello Everyone. It's time again for another reveal at Stuck On U Sketches. This challenge begins April 25th and will run for the next two weeks. So come on over and take a look at the other design teams amazing creations.

And here is my interpretation of the sketch:

In Everyday Life's Beauty Is Hidden

This pic is of my darling grandmother. The papers I used are from my KOTM at Swirlydoos. I painted some of the paper with gesso and liquid pearls. I also did lots of distressing and inking around the edges. The flowers are from petaloo and prima.  

I used lots of layers and added some butterflies which I purchased on Etsy from Kay's Kreative Korner. The butterflies are really beautiful in person. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great day!

Special Moments

I created this layout using my KOTM from Swirlydoos. This is a pic of my DH being silly.  I really love the pops of red all over the paper. These papers are from the Prima Red Romance collection. 

Below are some closeup pics of my layout.

Titled: Perfect

This is a layout I created using my kotm from Swirlydoos. It is a picture of my grandmother and handsome cousin. I colored my chippies with dimensional paint and distressed the edges of the paper. I also added some burlap here and there which I think went well with the flowers.
