Got Sketch #126

Got Sketch #126 is fabulous - it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am a person who is seriously addicted to pattern paper. Knowing I needed to keep my pattern paper quantities at a minimum had a me momentarily paralyzed. This sketch made me think of how I construct my layouts; I learned alot about my creative methods in the process.

My sketch interpretations are below.

Supplies:  Close to my Heart (blue and white cardstock); Bazzill (brown cardstock); Little Yellow Bicycle (pattern paper, fabric banner, fabric border, chipboard accents), American Crafts (alphas); ribbon; Kaisercraft (pearls)

Supplies:  Close to my Heart (cardstock); Urban Lily (pattern paper); twine (May Arts); American Crafts (alphas, pen); WRMK (corner chomper); Kaisercraft (pearls)

Wow! Another 2-Pager!

These days my scrappy time is limited; consequently I infrequently create 2-pagers. I know, I know, not a great excuse but I have no idea why I do not pick create alot of 2-pagers???

Having said that, Valerie Salmon of Got Sketch whipped up this fantastic 2-page sketch that I absolutely could not resist interpreting.

Supplies:  Close to my Heart (purple cardstock); BasicGrey (pattern paper, chipboard accents, chipboard alphas, die cut stickers, rub ons); stitching

Hope you like it!

Smash Books

I love Smash books and have been smashing alot these past few months! Let's face it, I love all the doodads that coordinate with the books, the dual adhesive pen, the funky pages of the notebook...and that I finally have a home for all my memorabilia!

All of my Smash supplies come from Scrap Shotz - Sandy is a dream to work with and buy all my supplies from - her customer service is fantastic!

Here is an excerpt of my Smash book!

Hollydaze with Got Sketch!

Have you started scrapping your Christmas vacation photos? Well, I haven't started either; these photos were taken 2 years ago - yikes! However I used a fabulous Scrap Shotz December monthly kit and a Valerie Salmon (Got Sketch?) sketch, specifically Sketch #104 and whipped this up in under an hour! Can you believe it? I could not either!

Supplies:  Bazzill (cardstock); Simple Stories (pattern paper, die cut stickers, alphas, mini alphas); May Arts (twine); Close to my Heart (red gems): Versamagic (chalk ink); Copic (black spica)

To add texture and dimension, I raised the photos and some of the pattern paper circles. As well, I "decorated" the die cut sticker trees.
