LGS Not So Picture Perfect Challenge



As you may know on any 5th Monday over at Let’s Get Sketchy we do away with our sketches and try to give you another fun challenge. This time is no different, Our challenge this week is called "Not So Picture Perfect" What we would like you to do is create a layout using a picture that you never thought you would use because its blurred, too dark, head half cut off, red eye....etc. You know the ones I am referring to.


Here is my “Notso Picture Perfect” Layout I used a picture of myself that my three year old daughter took all by herself.

I used a kit from Paper Issues that was mainly made of Echo Parks ~Everyday Electric Collection.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.
 I hope that you have a safe
&
Happy New Year!

Christmas Cheer Frame

 
    Well today I’m going to share one of the projects that I submitted for my design team application to Imaginisce, sadly I didn’t make the team. But after looking at who did I felt better because thier work is amazing!
   Still I wanted to share this altered frame that I made using mainly the Christmas Cheer Collection because I'm pretty proud of it.
  
 
 I made the poinsettias with the B sides from the Apple Cider & Christmas Cottage Collection and my Tim Holtz Dies.
 
 
I wanted to add a bit more texture to the frame so I added this ruffled ribbon held in place with some brads.
For my final touches I added some bling to my little Rudolph.
Thanks for stopping by today I hope you liked the frame, Make sure you hope over to see the amazing new team at Imaginisce.

Acorn Avenue for week two!


Hello All & Happy Monday!
Yes that’s right happy Monday, after its time for another great sketch over at Let’s Get Sketchy. This weeks Sketch is from our very own Jenessa.

I took a little “crafty freedom” with this weeks sketch and used hexagons instead of circles. Really I just wanted to try out my new hexagon dies from spellbinders, which I love!
Products Used: Crate Paper-Acorn Avenue Collection, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Words, MME Pin, Tim Holtz Ink, Crafters Workshop Template, Spellbinders Hexagon Dies, Mister Hueys, Washi Tape.



My title, Yep that’s my handwriting.
 
I wanted my hexagons to really stand out so I used white cardstock, but I just had to add some ink splatters.
 
I even used my dear lizzy date stamp; it’s so handy and super cute!
 
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you liked my take on this weeks sketch and remember this month’s prize at Let’s get Sketchy is from C’est Magnifique.
