Sketch Love

Crafting is really a funny old world - I used to love creating to sketches and for many years I thrived on being part of DT's making use of weekly sketches. I started with {{Pencil Lines}} which also gave me the chance to get to know {{Anam}} very well and we have formed a fabulous online friendship over the years. Which led me to becoming part of her first {{Twisted Sketches}} DT, which I adored. There also was {{2 Sketches 4 You}} - which really got me totally into making cards again.

Somewhere along the line I started to become intimated by sketches - and I stopped looking to them for inspiration. I carried on being the sketch artist for {{Upsy Daisy Designs}} but that was different because I drafted the sketches after I created my layout. 

A couple of weeks ago, I re-discovered Twisted Sketches and I am TOTALLY and UTTERLY into creating from sketches again. So, you will see quite a few cards and layouts popping up over the coming months, using sketches from challenges.

Let's start with the recent layout and card sketches from {{Twisted Sketches}}.

The twist for {{Sketch #083}} was to use the word "Time" which in my case is incorporated in the title..I scare myself sometimes being so clever *giggles*

Layout - Times Square

Papers: My Minds Eye,My Little Shoebox ** Stickers: American Crafts, Rusty Pickle ** Chipboard: Cosmo Cricket

I also enter the layout in the recent {{ ScrapFIT #035}} challenge, asking to make use of your scraps and do a mixed alpha title.

And then there is the Twisted Sketches {{Card Challenge #041}}, with the twist of using "ribbon". Now, I am not too hot on ribbons anymore, so I am declaring the twine used as being my ribbon :)). I also used one of my older {{Some Odd Girl}} images. Generally I am not too much of a people stamp person - but who can resist {{Toby and Buddie}}??

Card - For You

Cardstock: Bazzill * Papers: 3ndypapir, Imaginisce * Digi Stamp: Some Odd Girl

But there is more....

The recent {{My Minds Eye challenge}} for layouts. 

Would you believe that the papers I have used here are from the {{Holly Jolly}} line? Nah, me either - they really do not look like Xmas papers at all, do they? That is what I love about MME - the flipside of the papers is generally totally generic and can be used for any theme *heart*

Layout - Mom

Papers, Die Cuts, Chipboard, Brads: My Minds Eye * Stickers: Rusty Pickle
