(I’ve got you guessing haven’t I ???)
How many of you like to use sketches?

I love them…… I have found over the years of scrapping so much, that they really help my creative process, especially when I am on a tight time limit. I have found that whenever I have a snippet of free time, I like to sketch my L.O ideas or plans into a small note book in my purse, then transfer them to my sketch file when I get home. The other day I was showing my friend Melody this file & was I  shocked at just how many I have accumulated over the last little while. She, also a scrapper, lit up & said, “So, when are these going in to a book for your nearest & dearest, dahling?” hahaha! Well I don’t know about the book but as for my nearest & dearest that would be all you gorgeous people who faithfully read & comment on our blog!

So compliments of Moi! to you…here is a sketch that I hope you will find very helpful.

With halloween & thanksgiving around the corner, I thought I’d mix it up a bit & focus on something I am SO grateful I had the opportunity to pursue for half my life.  I used the new Twilight Collection & a bit from the Amber Road Collection from Pink Paislee to do it. Up until I got married & had children, Flamenco dancing was a HUGE part of my life; this page is to remember my love of the dance.

Using Twilight – Horizon 00219, I cut myself a frame & overlayed Twilight – Sunset 00215 inside as my base page. For my scalloped strips I used Amber Road – Bonfire 00205 & Amber Road – Fall Festival 00207 . For the flower sprinkles, I cut out a few flowers from Amber Road – Autumn Blossom 00202 & using an Amber Road – Patches 00210 I made a little flower layered with tulle (Kimmi’s brilliant idea see this post for details) .

The big flower on the right hand side is layers of gauged tissue paper with the center filled with tiny pearl beads. I even snuck a journal block under the flower from the New Cupid line – Postcards 00242. A bit of journaling & stitching & all done!

Well that’s my post for today…I hope you can make use of it.

Have a super weekend!

Hey guys…I hope you are well & having a super day so far??? It is a public holiday here today…Heritage day I think haha! I’m a shocker aren’t I, that I don’t even know for sure, but I didn’t need much encouragement to do very little today. I enjoyed a fun day with my little boy while his Daddy worked. Talking about my little boy….he is the subject of my project today. Being Thursday I have Trends as my theme…..together with the funky Twilight line.

We don’t officially celebrate halloween here in SA, so I don’t have typical halloween scrapping ‘ammo’, but I wasn’t fazed though. This line is SO versatile & I had a blast putting together this page. It is an interview I recorded with my little boy….oh ah…sorry, I mean…. the scary ‘Captain Cutlass’. (His answers to the interview were so cute & funny…..take a look.)

For the trend angle of the page…I thought I’d highlight eyelets today. Over the last little while they have really made a come back into ‘scrapping fashion’ again. I LOVE using them in all manner of ways…this time I used them to attach my stars to the page.

I really hope I have inspired you to go & hunt for those eyelets & give using them a bash again. I am excited to see how you use them too NB: Link us up in the comments then we can all take a peek :)

So have yourselves a super day!!
Aaaarh! (hehe! couldn’t resist that)
