Let's play Bingo!

Hello everybody! Let's Get Sketchy has a super fun challenge for this fifth Monday. It's a Bingo challenge! I went straight down the "O" line using a mask, punch, 3 pattern papers, tags, and a doily for my page.

You need to complete 5 squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. That means you must use the product or technique on your layout that is listed in each square of your line. And if you play your card right, and use a line that has the peppermint candy in the middle, you only have to use 4 products/techniques on your layout. Be sure to specify what line you used on your layout. Your layout does not have to be Christmas related. But some of the squares on the Bingo card are good incentives to get those Christmas photos scrapped. Look at these fun choices.

And speaking of Christmas, have you checked out the LGS Inspired Christmas Edition?

If not check it out here.

This is the page I created for this edition

And remember submissions are now open for our next Sketch Inspired Magazine. This issue will go live online Feb 1, 2014. The deadline for submissions to our February 1st Issue is January 10, 2014. You will find the details here.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I truly appreciate your time and support. And I hope you have an amazing New Year!

Resting up

Happy Monday morning everyone! Can you believe that in just two short days it will be Christmas? With that in mind I did a Christmas themed inspiration page for today's sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy.

Doesn't it look like he's resting up before his big job tomorrow night? Lol Well I thought so anyway. For this page I used Pink Paislee papers and embellishments, Echo Park bingo cards, tape and flair from Recollections, and the stamp and star sequins are from AC.

And here's the final sketch for the year, which I turned counterclockwise

Just the way you are

Good morning all! It's Monday, and that means another sketch has been revealed at Let's Get Sketchy. Here is my inspiration page based off this week's sketch.

For this page I used Crate Paper's Flea Market papers with tags from the DIY collection. The lyrics are from one of my daughter's favorite songs by Bruno Mars. I had a lot of fun making this page, but of course the song got stuck in my head and I caught myself singing it all day. I'm glad I was home alone most of the day because a good singer I am not. 

And here's this week's fabulous sketch that I turned counterclockwise 

Now it's your turn and I can't wait to see your takes on the sketch. Link your projects here under the Dec. week 2 link.Thanks so much for stopping in for a peek! I truly appreciate your time and lovely comments! 



She flies

Hi there scrappy friends! It's time for the girls' challenge at Boy Meets Girl. As promised we have moved the reveal date up to give you more time to join in. Instead of waiting for the reveal on the 15th of the month we will now have our challenge reveals on the 5th of every month. For the December challenge we would like for you to use the same photo more than once on your page. Super easy, right? Here's what I came up with

For my background I started with a piece of plain white cardstock, and did a little playing around with stamping and stenciling. After it dried I decided try out some metallic watercolors that I purchased a while back. I have to say the shimmer they give off is beautiful IRL. The journal card tucked into my layers says "With brave wings she flies." My daughter's a teenager now, and I definitely see her venturing out more, testing her wings so to speak.

Remember you have the entire month to enter. So grab your photos and join in. I'd love to see your creations. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Upon us all a little rain must fall

Good morning all! A fabulous new sketch has gone live at Keeping the Best, and I have my inspiration page to share with you.

I used Crate Paper's DIY collection for this page, along with some doilies and misc. embellishments. For a bit more texture and interest I added a few large splatters of paint and a bit of random stamping to the background. I made the raindrops using Glossy Accents.

And here's sketch #74

I hope you get a chance to join us. I'd love to see your take on the sketch. You have 2 weeks to link your creation here. Thanks for coming by for a peek!  I really appreciate your time and lovely comments. Happy scrapping =)
