Let's Get Sketchy and Just Imagine Crafts

Let's Get Sketchy is revealing the DT's interpretation of the fabulous sketch today... be sure to visit and see what everyone reveals and also play along with us. I am posting this fun layout without photos because it's for a gift album.. but it turned out amazing using the sketch below. It had such great accent possibilities and fun clustered sections to play with. I added a layered punched border using Kreaxions Punch #303 and the fall away piece too all which was matted to pop the punch work.

Cute tags, twine and brads are only a few of the fun items I added.

  I am attaching this to Scrap Scene WIP Monday... love to share with others.. check it out.

Fabulous Day - Horseshoe Tournament & Corn Roast

We celebrate yearly with a Horseshoe Tournament and Corn Roast. As many family and friends join us that can. Those that love to play shoes do .. some only watch... the little kids enjoy the trampoline, swings and the water is always a favourite. This year we had the use of 6 kayaks which kept the kids happy and busy. We all catch up with what's going on in our lives. So spending time with the people is amazing, the food is pot luck and so good and everyone has a great time.

My page is slightly monochromatic using My Sketch World sketch below ... which is September's layout of the month by Lucy who has amazing sketches. 

I love using my Just Imagine Crafts / Kreaxions Circle Cutter. This page has lots of different size circles that are so quick and easy to make with such an amazing small tool that

can be used on such a small space when cutting. Some are single, some double and popped up and some are large and inked and distresssed. .... so many options.

I added some cricut cut titling with journal strips, twine and brad accents, Robins' Nest dew drops and lots

of fun stitching. I doodled some outlines to help pop the pieces.

Sure glad you could join me today..

DOODLING, MOMENTA & SCRAPFIT & SCRAP SCENE WIP

I love DOODLING. It all started when I didn't have a sew machine with me and

I started doodling a stitch line using either a Micron black line or a Signo white gel line.

 From there I used it with copic images to detail the image and then

 I played with zentangle and I have never looked back.

I love DOODLING.

Here is my double page layout using lots of doodling, hand drawn images, journal strips,

 and other misc letters and numbers plus some fun photo frames.

Full photo of page 1 to view.

Full photo of page 2 to view.

Below are some of the detailed sections for up close viewing.

 Paint smudged on background paper.

Letter A on flag and ruler of #'s.

Hand drawn school images to make my banner.

Misc parts of title, accents in photo frame and apple and number equations doodled.

Let's Get Sketchy and Scrap Scene WIP

So using Tabitha's sketch I created the page below. The colours were so soft, the fun butterflies, bling, some rubons and buttons  made for a fabulous page. The title is like scrabble pieces and looks great.

Laura's amazing sketch was perfect for the page below. I used fun soft baby boy colours, fun circles, cute baby accents, buttons and the too cute key tied with ribbon.

It really is amazing how easy a page comes together when you have a great sketch.
Let's Get Sketchy has new sketches every Monday for you. Come join us weekly.. we'd love to see what you create with the sketches.

And on Mondays I love sharing with Scrap Scene WIP Mondays.

Hope you have a scrappy day and better yet a scrappy week.

Terrifically Thrilling Thursday

Circles.. yes circles.. we use them so often and with the

Kreaxions Circle Cutter it is so much easier. 

We are going to make a card today inspired

 by my friend Sandy at Cookin Up Creations. 

She challenges us to make this card using so many circles
 using this technique that I had to share

 and multitask my post at Just Imagine Crafts.

Here is the full card with the amazing use of circles.

The full circles I inked to help pop them. I matted it for depth and colour and added a few accents.

This card is perfect for so many occasions and you can add a sentiment

or leave as is and add proper text inside the card.

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.

Rubon Resist Tutorial with My Sketch World

Hi everyone.. it's Bev here again.. I am thrilled to be staying on
as the Tutorial Designer at My Sketch World.
I never really know if what I share with you is new or old but
if I have never tried it .. I go with it and hope I can share something
that will interest you and prompt you to try it.

Today is RUBON as a RESIST.
The above photo has 2 rubons on a piece of cardstock. The
fabulous bird and the sentiment.

Now I sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

You then take paper towel and daub off the paint
on top of the rubon. Notice how the bright white is popping off the paper.

I matted this circle and this is an accent and title to my layout page.

I used the April My Sketch World sketch from Lucy to
make my page. I love the finished page .. and especially
love the look of the rubon resist accent as part of the page.
It was perfect touch and was a great part of using the circular part of the sketch.

I used Momenta product on this page and I am going to share this with
Scrap Scene WIP this week. Also used Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches on
this. Kreaxions Punch #303, star template and fall away pieces.
Supply List:
Papers: Momenta PA2253, PA 2254(need to check this one)
Cardstock: Momenta PA 0658, DCWV
Tag: Momenta PA 2395
Punch: Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions #303, Martha Stewart
Template: Star from Kreaxions
Pen: Signo
Rubon: MME
Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angel
Ink: Colorbox
Other: brads

Here is a close up the finished accents piece with all the trims on it.

Now below I thought I'd share the 2nd Rubon Resist that I tried.
This one I am using on a card.

I used the frame and bird rubon to start with.

On this one I sprayed with 3 colours and very heavy in one spot.

Using the same process I daubed with paper towel to take
off the excess ink that is on the rubon.
The white part is especially popping again.

This is the piece when the daubing was complete.
The frame and bird definitely are defined again.

Here is my finished card using the same process.
I really like the look of this. What and easy and amazing
technique to use with so many of those rubons we all have.
I used cardstock pieces and applied the finished accent to my projects.
It also would work directly on the background of a page or card but you
would have to have an idea exactly where to place it first.
My method just allowed a bit more easy of placement.
Sure hope you liked this today .. be sure to stop by My Sketch World
and share your project with us using this method.
