Turtle Soup Sketchathon and Friday inspiration

hi.. it's Friday at the Turtle Soup. We are celebrating with a Sketchathon and today it has an added mood board for colour inspiration. Here is my page using the above to inspire me. I am using photos from our pontoon boat rides when everyone was together in Florida. We had a great day on the water. I am using Paper House Beaches of the World, beach die cut accents along with some stickers all from their fabulous collections. I added some copic coloured chipboards and a great circle accent. You have all month to play along so hope you'll stop by and play along. Thanks for stopping by.. see you again soon.

Lots of layers, fun accents and what a great mix of fun colours all in one kit.

Let's Get Sketchy and we're ready with a sketch for March...

Let's Get Sketchy has a new March sketch up today (see below).

Using the sketch I created the page above using Simple Stories Hugs and Kisses Collection.

Started with a kraft background and using lots of layers and accents finished the page.

I love collections that have amazing accents, stickers and all the paper co-ordinate.

I used lots of super layers with lots of inked edges, a doily and some fabulous acrylic beaded accents.

Another clustered and layered section with Bella Creationz 

Timelesss Twine added around the oval accent.

More twine and more clustered accents to finish off this corner.

Be sure to visit the LGS blog to view the reveal with all the DT... 

so many fabulous and creative inspiring projects.

Scrapbook Stamp Society amazing images are perfect for layouts too....

Hi.. I am  always super excited when I find an image that

suits the theme of my scrappy pages. They make such super cute accents on 

any page or many other projects other than just cards.

This cutie is Cindy shy violet ... she was perfect to match and colour to  paper and also

the butterflies were perfect match to the photo with GD holding a butterfly in her hand.

Today I am sharing a Digi called soccer kid by Morgan Fitzsimons.

I am not doing a card.. that is so standard with digis. I really love using them on layouts especially when they theme perfectly into a page.
Following the theme boys this digi is amazing on my GS's soccer page.
I copic coloured with all the gray and black tones because his team wore black and white. It also pops off the kraft paper background.
The background also is stamped and paint daubed for the rustic look.

Cute flags were made, twine added, fun metal accent, brads, corrugated accent along with a fun sticker accent and title. Chevrons are such a big thing right now so I cut and doodled on them for an accent.  I love using the white Signo pen for doodling and journaling.

Sure hope you enjoyed the blog hop and the fabulous digis we had to share with you. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
