Welcome back everyone to the Sunday Sketch.

Hey everyone!

Wow, is September an exciting month!  It’s going to contain my birthday (16th), my husband’s birthday(30th), a visit from my Dad (who lives in Texas – he’s around from the 9th-17th), Emily starts Ballet & Tap right after her first day of Grade 1 (8th), AND Em & I are taking off on a weekend getaway at the end of the month!  Good thing my ‘assignment’ for this month is Free For All!!!  Being able to just create without any guidelines is sometimes easier when you’re busy, especially if you’ve got PWCO’s PaperCard kits!  <–Definitely one of my must-haves – and a shameless plug (lol)!

This week’s card is actually one I did for the most recent Rachelle Anne Miller release.  I used Beary Best of Friends and paired it with some BasicGrey Euphoria paper & Bazzill Smoothie cardstock.  The image panel is cut using good old Nesties Classic & Scallop Ovals, and the image is (shocker) coloured with Copics.  There is lots of sparkle added, too – you didn’t think I’d leave that out, did you?!

Catch ya next week - same bat time, same bat channel!

Hi everyone!

please note, due to some technical difficulities, our kits will not be available until Sept 6th.

in the meantime, please continue to enjoy our august kits – which is exteneded till sept 5th.

sorry for the inconvenience!

Welcome back everyone to the Sunday Sketch.

Good morning and happy Saturday.  Today I would like to share with you something other than a card.  I used the fun Lucas the Lion image from the Safari Friends Collection to stamp on the Shrinky Dink sheet, punched them out with the flower shape punch, then colored with my markers.  With the heating tool,  I made them into individual charms and created this bracelet.  In addition, I made an extra charm to decorate the gift bag as well.

Here is the bracelet and gift bag set

Closer view on this bracelet

Closer view on this bag with charm.

I asked my daughter to be my model for this bracelet and she is kind enough to do this for me )

Stamp:  Safari Friends Collection – Harriet the Hippo

Ink: Copic Markers

Accessories:  Shrinky Dink Plastic, Chain, sack bag.

Hope you’ll find this project interesting enough to try and don’t forget there are many other stamp collections over at Peg’s shop.  You might be able to find more fun images to try for this project!!  Thanks for stopping by and please do come back and check out the other DT members’ wonderful creations )

Hello friends, I am back with this weeks sketch card, I love the sketch this week! I decided to use “side by side” from the latest RAM release. I colored with copics BG23,E39, E13,E41,YG03,YR04,R24,E33,BG34,E43,R22. I used Bazzill cardstock and 3 Bugs in a Rug designer paper. I am going to send this to a friend I have not seen in a long, long, time… The inside reads, “Side by side or miles apart, dear friends are always close at heart.” Hope she likes it!

Welcome back everyone to the Sunday Sketch.

If you have been following our sketches you would know that we took a mini break from the regular sketches to host a special week challenge.  Make sure you vote for your top three in each category!

So a couple of weeks ago, we announced that Janice will be helping us out for the sketch this week..

without further ado, here is the sketch for #47 this week:

This sketch can be treated like a pocket card, or how Bella (see in the next post) and Janice interpreted.
Here’s Janice’s Sample for the week:
