LCTS Reveal

Let's Capture These Sketches sketch #151 boasts patterns, blocks, and flourishes.  Here is what Kimberly created for us to play with this week.

For whatever reason, this gorgeous sketch was giving me a hard time.  I just couldn't seem  to get it to translate onto paper the way the sketch intended.  Has that ever happened to you?  I began by flipping the sketch to suit the photos that I wanted to scrap.  I think perhaps that's where my dissatisfaction came.  I was stuck on what photos I wanted to scrap, and couldn't quite make them work as well with the sketch as I would have liked.  But, still I forged ahead, and came out with a layout that to document the moment in a way that is fun, and playful, and has my fingerprints all over it. 

Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer collection

Can you see the sketch in there?  It's flipped on it's side, and mirror imaged.  I encourage you to hop over to the Let's Capture These Sketches blog to see what the rest of the DT created, there are some really great takes to be seen.

And don't  forget about the blog up happening this weekend over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  You have the remainder of the weekend to get it on the fun, and qualify for some great prizes.  You can see what I have up for grabs here.  Have fun, and happy hopping.  You can see my layout and rak here.

Be blessed this weekend!

Sketch Challenge

Before I get down to business I want to say a huge thank you to each of you for your sweet words of encouragement and congratulations on my guest spot over at Creative Scrappers.  Your comments mean the world to me.

Nicole is up with a sketch/technique challenge today.  We were fortunate enough to have Niki Sivils graciously sponsor us, and therefore had the opportunity to work with her fun and colourful product.  She sent us so much product, that we each got an entire line to work with.  The line I chose is called My Lil' Monster.  It's super cute.

Here is the sketch we worked with.

Here is my layout

This, is my two youngest, and my ham of a nephew, Jayden,

Nicole also has a technique for you this month.  See those cute little flags on the sketch?  You can learn how to make your own, as she takes you through it.  Up for grabs this month will be an assortment of Nikki Sivils product.  Hop over here to check out the post on the blog.  Check the side bar if you're interested in participating in the monthly challenge, for a second chance at the prize pack, and also the chance to win a spot in this month's top 3 layouts.

As a bonus this month we are also hosting a giveaway on our Facebook Page.  Some of the DT made several projects with the Nikki Sivils paper, and we wanted a way to showcase them best.  Here's the deal, by checking out the page, and commenting on the projects shared you'll be entered for a second chance to win a second set of Nikki goodies we have up for grabs.  You can see the album here.   I hope you get a chance to pop by.

Tomorrow I'll share with you the original layout I made with this line and the same photo.  I'll also fill you in on why that happened.

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you link up with Scrapping Everyday Miracles be sure to let me know.
