This week at Sketch Support it is 2-page sketch week......my favourite! Here is the sketch that we are working with.......

two-page(AUG) 2011

And here is my layout! I developed some photos from our recent holiday. Matt was enjoying the little boat that we had access to.

Makin' Waves

My favourite part of the sketch was the wave and the fish. I thought it would work perfect with my photos so I didn't really branch out too much.

Makin' Waves 2

I couldn't resist adding stitching to my layout. The scalloped border and the swirl in the sun were a perfect opportunity! I also added some detailing to my photos with a black marker.

Makin' Waves 4

I created my own journaling area with my black marker and used stickers to record the location and the date.

Makin' Waves 3

Hope you enjoy my version of the sketch and be sure to check out the other creation from the Sketch Support design team.

Wish Big!

Last week was card sketch week at Sketch Support. I am still running a bit behind (holiday mode) so I am just posting my card now. Here is the sketch by Allison Davis. You can visit the Sketch Support site and download a printable copy for yourself.

card(AUG) 2011

Here is my version. I am not much of a card maker. I would usually try and make this sketch into a 2-page layout, but my BFF was celebrating a birthday and I wanted to make her a special card so I thought I would give it a try.

Wish Big

I stuck with the cupcake theme and I pulled out a stamp that I had and did a little paper piecing.

Wish Big 4

I love this ribbon and I used my last little piece to make this bow.

Wish Big 3

I created a border using a black pen and my sentiment stamp.

Wish Big 2

It was successful because Joanne loved it. I also gave her this rag quilt that Amanda and I worked on. Joanne had seen Amanda working on some of the squares and fell in love with it. I knew then that this quilt had found a home where it would be loved and well used. Happy Birthday Joanne!

Time To Ride & Giveaway!

I am back......did you miss me! I was in Chicago for a trade show and then off on holidays for a week and did not have internet access at the cottage we rented (which was a good thing for me, but a bad thing for my blog). I have some catching up to do.

Last week on the Sketch Support website they featured the July one-page sketch. Allison Davis has just released her first Sketches for Scrapbooking - One Page Sketches book and I have one to give away! All you have to do is leave a comment on this thread by Sunday, August 7th and I will do a random draw for the winner and post it on Monday, August 8th!

This one-page sketch is actually from the new book! You can visit the Sketch Support website and download your very own copy to print out.
one-pageJULY 2011

Here is my version of this sketch. I used the July Product Challenge kit from Two Scrapbook Friends and combined it with the sketch.

Time To Ride

I added some cardstock letters that I had in my own supplies to create part of my title. The little jelly embellishment that I used to dot my letter 'I' was part of the challenge kit.

Time To Ride 4

I also found these tree stickers that were left over from a card that I had made. They worked perfectly with the other materials and the photos that I had picked out.

Time To Ride 5

I love bakers twine and used it to tie around one of the smaller photos on my layout.

Time To Ride 3

For my journaling I used some very tiny alpha stickers. You need to use tweezers to put these on straight. I still need to look up the year that we went to Centre Island and add it to the strip.

Time To Ride 2
