Getting Sketchy...

I have several projects to share with you this weekend and all of them have been inspired by all the various sketches that you can find online. I am continually amazed by how much inspiration can be found online (you just have to get off every once in a while to put them into action.) ;o)

This first project is based on a layout sketch from Create My Keepsake, one of their Sketchy Formulas which are posted every Friday.

This photo was taken of the kids the day that we visited the St. Louis Arch back in July. They are looking at the ducks in the park at the base of the Arch.

Supplies used:

*PinkPaislee papers

*Chatterbox paper (black polkadot)

*Scenic route papers (stripe and red)

*old dictionary paper

*Martha Stewart border punch

*Marvy uchida scallop circle punch
*Fancy Pants embellishment
*American crafts glitter thicker and black brads
*Zig Writer
*Inkadinkado stamp
*Prima flowers

My second projects are 2 cards that I have created using the last two Jacksonbelle Embellishment sketches for their sketch contest this month.

This is the card from the 3rd sketch of the month. I used the spider out of the Inkadinkado Patterned Bugs stamp set.

Supplies used:

*Inkadinkado Patterned bugs stamp set

*Scenic Route paper kit

*white sharpie (detail on the spiders)

*Fiskars Threading Water border punch

*black inkpad

*black brads

This card was for the final sketch of the month and uses the Inkadinkado Birds Galore stamp set. I stamped the bird before I decided what papers to use and then had to figure out a way to pull the blue into these papers. I did that by using the tail flowers from another of the stamps in the set and stamping the mat for the bird using the green, blue, and red and my waterbased markers. I also added just a bit of glitter bling to the details on the bird.

Supplies used:
