Sassy Lil' Sketches Week 3 Reveal

Week 3 Sketch is:

And here's my take on it: I used Graphic 45 Christmas papers, Ranger stickles, black pen for faux stiching, pop dots for dimension.

Sadly, the gals at Sassy Lil' Sketchs have decided to shut their site down after three years so this will be my last reveal/posts for their website. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me and wish them both the greatest of futures in their scrapbooking and personal lives. Thanks ladies!

Sassy Lil' Sketches Week 1 Reveal (Ramped up Schedule this month!)

Week 1 Card Sketch revealed: And here's my take on it: I used black cardstock for the base, Canvas Corp kraft printed cardstock for the printed paper and the greeting. Used an EK Success corner punch and Queen & Co. bling along with May Arts wide gingham ribbon in cream/peach.

I love the simple elegance this sketch offers. Pretty and grown-up at the same time.

Sassy Lil' Sketches-Week 3 Reveal

It's time for the Week 3 Card Sketch Reveal at Sassy Lil' Sketches! Here's their awesome sketch...

And here's my take on it. I substituted a die for scallop type square for the circles. I had fun with the star instead of the flowers on the four corners and then tied that in with punched star shapes. Pop dots give the numbers a bit of dimension.

Sassy Lil' Card Sketch-Week 1 Reveal

I am excited to share a card I created using the Week 1 Sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches! Here's the sketch:

And here's my take on it using Crate paper, twine from Twinery, Queen black pearl bling, white opaque pen and black pen for faux stitching, Maya Road small wood buttons and small chipbard flowers, Prima glass glob, Cat eye ink pads to color the chipboard pieces, Pebbles rub-on for the greeting.

I used a large plastic lid as my circle stencil for drawing the "sewn" circles.

I pressed the chipboard down into my cat eye inks to coat the little flowers. Thanks for taking a peak!

Feeling Sassy?

SoOOoo happy to announce that beginning August 1, 2011 I will be a part of the card making design team for Sassy Lil' Card Sketches!! They have super super (that's 2) cute sketches for cards (and layouts too). Have you ever worked with a sketch? I find that using sketches removes a lot of the pain from the decision process and really helps speed up the creative flow. One of my favorite by-products of using sketches is that is takes me out of the "rut" I sometimes find myself. Hop over to Sassy Lil' Sketches blog, check out the current sketches and create something Sassy! That's what I am going to do right now :)
