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.
BONUS: Create a layout using the above sketch and link it on the LCOM Sketch Blog for a chance to win a RAK from them as well.

Due Date: December 31st

Happy Scrapping!

Challenge # 2 ~ Door Hanger Project

I had put together a fun little Bonus Project for Scrapdango last month. I whipped up an adorable door hanger for Paige and I wanted to provide you with instructions to make your own. I wanted to share it with you here:

Supplies: ruler
Scissors
Adhesive
1 ½ inch circle punch or exacto knife
Papers and die cuts
Thick cardstock or thin chipboard.

You can use the following template as your guide:





Instructions: 1. Cut a thin piece of chipboard or a thick piece or cardstock 9 x 4 ½ inches.


2. Approximately ½ from the top punch your circle or use your exacto knife to cut the shape.


3. Cut from the right hand side of your circle right to the edge. ** see template**


4. Adhere your papers to the door hanger. Embellish with die cuts.

I used the charming sugar kit papers and hand cut a butterfly. I popped some die cuts up for added dimension. I added some bling and the cool mini letter stickers.

The Challenge: I would like to see you make a Door Hanger for a loved one or even yourself!! A nice, simple project that looks so great when it's done!
