Hello Summer

Hello, this month's reveal from Let's Get Sketchy has a super pretty mood board and cute sketch! 

Here's my take on the sketch using some of the colours from the mood board and keeping the sketch almost the same. I used a smaller photo but added the Hello Summer card to create a larger area like the large photo in the sketch.

I would love to see your interpretation of our first challenge for March! So come and join in here at Let's Get Sketchy.
Enjoy your day!!
Love Michelle xx

Boys Rule...the best cool fun

Good Morning, Happy New Year!!!

I hope 2018 is a wonderful year full of fun learning, personal growth and lots of creativity. 

Such a great way to start my year is to spend time creating and this sketch challenge helped inspire me. So head over and come and join in with us at Let's Get Sketchy

 I liked the look of the sketch turned to the other side and I'm happy how the added film strip border gave a edge to the triangle corner. This is one of my favourite boyish range called Boys Rule from Crate Paper. Yes it's an older range but I love it and I still have enough left for a few more layouts.
I machine stitched the numbers vellum on top of the star patterned paper and a few more stitching around the different triangles and the boys rule tag.

 The acetate film strip was cut out from a 12x12 sheet from Kaisercraft and the Fun word in Thickers is called Chalkboard grey.

Close ups of all the tickets and words I cut from the PP sheet. Cork stars from DIY shop and Heidi Swapp Tinsel ink splatters.

These photos were taking in 2004!! Where has the time gone!! So nice to be scrapbooking these, I have so much to catch up on.
 My goal next year is to have all my printed photos in an album. Believe me I have a massive pile. So lots of Project life layouts, 12x12 and I'm going to try 8 x 11.
In the next couple of days I will be planning out how to do that exactly and setting a monthly goal. For me I just need to set a time and sit but I will need to have lots of challenges too.
So that's why I enjoy the challenges from Let's Get Sketchy, we would love to see what you create and what goals you have for 2018. 
Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by. 
Love Michelle xx

Wonder

Good Morning, I found this adorable picture of my Niece who lives interstate and knew the Wildflower collection by Kaisercraft would be perfect.

This is the sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for the first reveal. I flipped it to the right and used a smaller strip on the top. The rectangle mats behind the photo I changed to circular. The reason was the beautiful circular arrows chipboard by Scrapmatts. I just love it!

The background was created on the floral resist cardstock using Lindy's Stamp Gang magical powders. Colours tiffanylou's blue and raspberry lemonade. My friend let me play with them and I love them. I might have to buy them all! I might not be able to see from the photo but I added Gold Colour Blast shimmer over the top of the pink, it looks so pretty.
