Let's Get Sketchy and FALL

This week we had a great sketch by Brenshevia to use from Let's Get Sketchy. I just took family

photos in the fall of my son and family.. they were perfect with this sketch and 

the papers were fun with some cute accents.

Up close shows some of the cute accents.. here is chipboard fall and scarecrow and

the other accents are stickers.

More chipboard and stickers to compliment my page.

This fun corner has some burlap type ribbon tied in a know and

accented with some leaf stickers.

Thanks for stopping by.. and be sure to check what the other DT have to share with you too.

Robin's Nest DT Call

• 
• 
  
• The Robin's Nest is having a DT Call and
• I am excited to be submitting again and reapplying for the team. Originally I only had
•  the clear dew drops  from the Robin's Nest Product line but OMG after being with the
• team now for 4  months I have had the chance to use so much more of their
• Product line... paper, accents and so many more gem stones I didn't even know they had.
• There are many different themed papers and such an assortment of stone shapes and colours,
•  journaling sheets, alpha stickers and so many more things I haven't even had time to use yet.
• I am hoping to stick around again to get to use even more amazing products for the Robin's Nest line.

Robin's Nest.. more black n white..

For the month of October at the Robin's Nest we created with this amazing paper line 

and lots of the black n white prints that they carry.

With all the black n white .. and on the opposite side of the colours I thought
the split in the middle to start would be fun.
Then cutting lots of the clocks off the print paper and staggered up the
middle is a great base for more round photos.
Everything started larger at the bottom to
smaller at the top... it was perfect.
With all the black n white going on .. I decided that the touch of red would
be a perfect pop of colour.

Supply List:

Paper: Damask Black n White

Black n White Clock

Gem Stones: White Dew Drops

also the red glitter alpha sticker letters.

More letters in this section and a fun mix of the cut out clocks.
What a great mix of papers and accents.
***************************************

I am loving this black n white Robin's Nest Products... and the
clocks are really cool to work with...even if all cut and pasted rather
than using the full sheet.

Create a mask using their products and enter.

Here is my mask.

Gem Stones:

I started with just a base shaped mask which I ripped 3 different pieces of papers and layered

them across the base from bottom edge to top edge. I glued them down well and let them dry.

Then following the pattern on the back side and I cut the mask out. 

After that I started to decorate and accent it.. so many options depending

on what you find in your stash.

I didn't have feathers with me so I made them ... and 

also made the medallion or accordion flower from matching papers.

Below is the instructions for the feathers and medallion flower.

Here is the patterns to make some feathers by Lia Griffith:

Here is the link with instructions - http://liagriffith.com/paper-feathers-simple-to-make/

and also here is the video by me to make the accordion or medallion flower:

Lots of fun gem stones to bling up the mask.. they were a perfect touch.

Here is a template if you need a base to start with... increase it to actual size you'd like.

Below is the info about the contest.. sure hope you'll play along with us..

and you still have about 15 days to play along.

I used the shape of the mask from the poster below...

maybe that's what you'd like to do too... just increase the size when you print it.

For the month of October at the Robin's Nest we created with this amazing paper line 

and lots of the black n white prints that they carry.

I had so much fun making feathers I thought why not make some more but 

put them on a layout .. they were a perfect touch with the great

Robin's Nest product.

Just Imagine Crafts and lots of circles

Just Imagine Crafts has the most amazing and best ever Kreaxions Circles Cutter.

It was perfect to use for all these circles that create this cute tree card.

The original idea is from my dear Friend Scarlett Symone and she supplied the main stencil

of the tree below. You add your trunk and accent and then start cutting many

sizes and colours of circles which you start glueing on and adding in layers to fill the tree. 

You have to cut this again to make the main frame of the card.. so folding paper in 

half .. lay the stencil to the left side of fold so the 2 left circles are NOT cut apart... 

and are the hinge to open the card.

The finished front is glued to the main frame after it's all done.

  

Kreaxions Circle Cutter

Here is a 2nd sample of this fun tree card... more circles in the form of gel dots and buttons on this one.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the tutorial for the tree card .

And thanks Scarlett for such a cool and fun idea to make this card.

Let's Get Sketchy

Let's Get Sketchy today has a sketch of mine.. and I played with digital to make this one.

Fun layers, great circles and cute cluster along with great photos. 

While I was creating this page using the

 above sketch I worked on the 2nd side of this double also below.

Celebrating a Grand daughter turning 16. So much fun .. great party, food and great occasion.

Stop by and see what the rest of the DT created using this sketch.

Fall into Autumn

Lots of fun challenges to celebrate fall.

Here are a few to share with you.

Starting with this page..

On Just Imagine Crafts page I used Kreaxions Circle Cutter to cut the photo, mat it and

 add other circular accents on the page. I used this page also for a challenge

 at Cookin' Up Creations to create using many different shapes on your projects.

The background is stamped, chipboard sharps and some cute leaves.

Here are the close ups.

A mix of circles.

More circle rings and solid circles.

 Also added Kreaxions Punch #923 to add punched border accent.

This challenge at Turtle Soup suggested we use the word clustered accent on our page.

It was a perfect pennant with twine accent.

This double used fun background misting, masking and some paint.

Lots of fun layers with even a patch of burlap and old ripped book page.

On this side of the page the challenge included using some blackboard looking accent... so 

I cut a black accent and doodled using signo white gel pen.. and used a cute 

variegated jillibean soup owl.

Also this month I have been making some cute cards.

This challenge at Memorable Seasons was to take a shape....

 the acorn and rip papers to shape and fill the frame.

 I then added more layers to give more texture using 

variegated paper, some fun stitching and twine accent.

 Thanks for your visit.. and hope to see you again soon.
