Lita's Sketch No.4

Another sketch for you today ladies!! Thisa is a very basic sketch as I would LOVE to see you gals jazz it up and put your own spin it! Use it as a starting point and let your creativity run wild!!

As always, here are the sample from myself, Karen & Cyn:

Lita: I've kept farily true to the sketch this week, simply adding a little hidden journalling tag, & also keeping my photos straight. Love these picvs of my DD and her nanna.

Karen: Karen has flipped the sketch & angled her papers a little - love it! She has also replaced the two smaller photos with a large, stunning pic of her gorgeous DD.

Cyn: Cyn has kept true to the sketch & used it for an 'interview' she has done with her cute DS.

Be sure to share your creations - thanks for stopping by!

Lita's Sketch No. 3

Well here it is - sketch number 3!!

Now, I know alot of you are perhaps thinking "Not another circle!" but please keep in mind, these sketches are merely a starting point, a guideline. As you'll see in this weeks sample, I haven't used a circle at all, and have arranged elements etc my way, not sticking strictly to the sketch. That's the beauty of it - take it and make it your own!

Cyn: Traditional. Uses another great Basic Grey range

Lita: Digi. My samples are digi based this week, but I am also currently working on a paper version, that I hope to share with you in a couple of days

~*~PLEASE NOTE: The blog candy comp is now CLOSED! A winner will be chosen at random and announced on Monday. Good luck gals!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lita's Sketch No.2

Here it is!! The much anticipated 2nd sketch lol I had a ball playing with this one and so did 'my girls'.

So check out the samples, snag the sketch for your self and have fun with it!! Just keep in mind - you dont have to stick to the sketch completely! As you'll see, I haven't used the hidden journal tag, neither has Karen, but Cyn has. Karen has streamlined her embellies whereas I've gone all out. The choices are limitless! Take the sketch and interpret it your way - then share the results!

Cyn: Love this clean simple layout - really keeps the focus on the pics!


Karen: Again, a simple non-fussy boy layout, just awaiting journalling about little Jack's first steps


Lita: I had so much fun with this! A layout about my favourite obsessions...uh, I mean favourite things lol I may still add the journal tag...think I need to explain the obsessions lol



Don't forget:

Tuesday Tutes starts next week - with tips on making the most of your paper!

Blog Candy - one week left to get in the draw!


Have fun with it ladies & thanks for stopping by!

my new DT member!

Introducing Cyn!

I met Cyn through an online scrapping forum and have always loved her pages...and her addiction to Basic Grey made me love her even more! The best bit...she is well and truly Robsessed - love it! She is truly a superwoman - pregnant with her second little angel and still scrapping like mad, raising her gorgeous son, teaching aerobics, among many other things! Who has the energy for all of that?! I am happy to say that she is now a part of my little team here and will be producing samples of my sketches and maybe even sharing reviews of her fave products, stores etc. So, welcome Cyn! Happy to have you with us!

You can check out her blog HERE, and her Use Your Stash Challenge blog HERE.

Here is Cyn's take on the first Lita sketch - I love it! The BG mellow is the perfect fit for her photos and I am loving those dew drops!

Also have another fabulous layout to share!! This was created by the amazingly talented Chris aka Whisperpink. I met her through a digi forum and her talent (and amazing kindness) just blows me away. Look at the shadowing, the composition - just stunning! Thanks for bestowing your talent upon my humble sketch LOL

That's all for now ladies, be sure to check in tomorrow for the next sketch - you'll love it!!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Save the sketches!

Firstly - wow! So many of you are using the sketch - yay! Can't wait to see all the results!

Now, to the reason for my post. I have had a couple of questions regarding the sketches...

1. Can they be saved & printed?
Absolutely! Right click on the image of the sketch and save it to your computer. You can then print it or simply keep it on your hard drive.

2. When will the next sketch be available?
At this stage, a new sketch will be posted every two weeks, so look for the next on the 25th July. I hope to be able to offer a sketch every week, but for now, baby steps lol In the meantime, check in for tutorials, tips & tricks and more!

Thanks for stopping by :)
