No Peeking!

I made this card using Kazan's sketch #60 for 2 Sketches 4 You.



No Peeking!

Supplies: Paper, Stickers: Crate Paper, Cardstock: Canson, Bling: Heidi Swapp.

August Published Work

Peace

This is a hybrid page. I used a digital kit to create the background and to print out embellishments. I printed the background paper out on tissue paper for extra texture, and then adhered it to cardstock for strength. I printed the embellishments separately on cardstock. I printed the title and journaling on a transparency sheet and cut the transparency into strips. Before I printed the title, I added a drop shadow to the letters to make it look like they have some dimension.

Supplies: Cardstock: Canson, Transparency Film: 3M, Buttons: Buttons Galore & More, Marker: Color Workshop (P&M Products), Other: tissue paper.
Digital Supplies: Kit: Peace, Love & Happiness by Libby Weifenbach (Sweet Shoppe Designs), Brush: Obsidian Dawn, Font: Baby Boston, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3.




Just add water

I made a simple page for an everyday moment of my son playing in his small inflatable pool in the backyard. For the sun I used a transparent PVC flower, cut the petals into sun rays and painted it yellow. I used a large brad for the center of the sun, but instead of going through the page with the prongs, I folded these behind the sun and attached the sun to the page with glue dots. The swirl is cut out from one of the patterned papers.

Supplies: Paper: Cherry Arte, My Mind's Eye, Cardstock: Canson, Petersen-Arne, Rub-Ons: Making Memories, Flower: Maya Road, Brad: Chatterbox, Paint: Delta, Marker: Sakura, Pen: ZIG Memory System (Kuretake), Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3.

This layout is based on this sketch.


Both pages were published in the August issue of ScrapStreet Magazine.

Happy Birthday

My daughter's seventh birthday is coming up and I made her a card using sketch 182 from Card Positioning Systems Blog.

My daughter has been eying the dragonfly woolie ever since I go it, so of course I had to use it on her card. I used a row of seven rhinestones at the bottom; one for each year.



I also decorated the inside of the card a little:



Happy Birthday

Supplies: Paper, Die-Cut, Felt Sticker, Buttons, Journaling Note: BasicGrey, Ribbon: Michaels, Bling: Heidi Swapp, Stamp: Imaginisce, Ink: Rubber Stampede, Card Base: Halcraft, Other: machine stitching.

Lorikeet Forest

I created this digital layout for this week's challenge on the ScrapStreet.com Blog.



I used this sketch since I wanted to keep the page clean. I simply picked some colors from the main photo to fill the blocks. To further enhance the advertisement feeling I quoted some text from the Aquarium of the Pacific website.

Fonts: Hobo Std, Tunga, Adobe Garamond Pro, Tahoma, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4.

It has been a while since I posted a sketch...

Today I have a new card sketch for you. I have not even used it myself yet :)



Please feel free to use this sketch for your personal use (only). I would love to see what you do with it!

ETA: I used this sketch to make this card, which was published in the September 2010 issue of ScrapStreet Magazine, and this card, which was published in the March 2011 issue of ScrapStreet Magazine.
