Challenge # 3 ~ LCOM Sketch Reveal

Who doesn't love a great sketch?? I know that I do. That's why I am at Let's Capture These Sketches!!

This week the sketch was designed by Sara Slade. She has been on both the sketch team and the layout team. Here is the sketch we had to work with this week:

I just love how fresh and funky it is. I created the following layout based on this great sketch:

It features Paige kneeling in a huge hole we dug at the beach in Port Elgin. It was such a wonderful day for a beach visit with family.

I used a Crafter's Workshop Template and painted over it with a sponge brush and some yummy teal paint. I just love using templates. They add so much cool, funky details to any layout or card! Here is a close up:

Challenge: Now that the cooler weather is upon us here in Canada and the US I was thinking it would be nice to feel the warmth of a summer layout. Bring out the brights and create a layout. Link it up below for a chance at one of three RAK's I am offering up for the month! You can also email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca.

Elizabeth Taylor Challenge

One of the movie industries most graceful, talented and beautiful women passed away today. I was always in awe of her as a women and as an actress. If you have ever watched a movie with Elizabeth in it.... you were enchanted. My first movie I saw and loved was "National Velvet". Who could forget the passion between her and Richard Burton in "Cleopatra". They burned the screen up.
I also adored her for her humanitarian work. She was an AIDS Advocate long before anyone else would step up. She was strong and steadfast.

"Big girls need big diamonds." ~Elizabeth Taylor

Challenge: I would like you to be inspired by the above quote and use lots of sparkle and bling on your page. One of the things Elizabeth was famous for was her love of all that sparkles.

Baubles and Frills Challenge

I just love anything frilly and shiny. I am a total girl in that way. Steve jokes that I was born in the wrong era because I love anything vintage.

I did the following layout for weScrap using thier latest kit called "Her Majesty".



I loved all the extra's that came with the kit. There were some baubles, tulle and some lovely filmstrip. I gathered the tulle and placed it at the bottom of my photo to act as a frame. I added the baubles using brads to my filmstrip. I also had some fabric laying around and made a funky fabric flower!

FYI.... if you purchase this kit you should be aware that the rubons are fussy so please be careful and that you will need extra adhesive for your letter stickers.

Challenge: I would like to see some baubles, frills or other vintage inspired element on your next creation. Email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca or link it below to earn a ballot for the $50.00 gift card to LCOM!!
