Let's Party!.... Sketch Style!

Welcome to the Let’s Capture These Sketch Blog 1st Birthday Bash!

We are extremely happy to be celebrating our very first birthday with our amazingly talented Sketch Team. We are going to be celebrating with each Sketch Team member each day from June 1st until June 9th.

If you are just joining us, check out the Let’s Capture These Sketches blog for all the details and the links to the sketches.

As part of our challenge to you over the next 9 days, we are going to have you build the most delicious birthday cake ever! Each sketch artist will have a sketch for you to design with. Each time you finish a sketch creation, load it into the Let’s Capture Our Memories (LCOM) gallery with “Birthday Bash Sketch #?” as the title using the corresponding sketch number. Collect the corresponding Birthday Bash Decal after your completing your layout using the sketch and build up your 9 pieces of your Birthday Bash cake. You can display your decals on your blog, in the forum or anywhere you’d like to show them off!

Today you will be earning this piece of the Birthday Cake…



Here is my sketch to inspire you today…



Along with your sketch, you must include the following challenge:

Take Flight.... your challenge is to have something with wings on it. It could be in your picture, your paper or your accent.

Here is an example of today’s sketch by the talented Renee. Just look at the cute bee that goes along with the even cuter smile:



To earn an extra ballot into the final prize draw, each designer has chosen a secret ingredient that if used on your layout (Example, brads, paint, a piece of packaging, mist, etc.) will earn you an extra ballot towards the final prize. You just never know what that person’s secret layout ingredient could be so be creative!

You will have until Friday June 18th to complete one, two… all of the Birthday Bash sketches and add them to the LCOM Gallery. One lucky random winner to collect all 9 pieces of the birthday cake will win a fabulous gift certificate to the LCOM store!

Creative Prompts 4 U Feature!!

Guess who was a guest at the Creative Prompts 4 U blog??

Yes.... it was me and I am thrilled about it. Have you checked out the blog yet? It is a wonderful challenge based blog. I was asked to post a challenge and a sample. Here is my challenge:

"My challenge is for you is to take an embellishment and enhance it to make a new one of a kind addition to your page. You can do this by many means... painting, misting, adding glitter... the sky's the limit!"

Here is the page I created:



For this layout I chose to alter a Prima flower by spraying with Glimmer Mist and adding some subtle glitter. I had a metal tag from Tim Holtz that I covered in green paint and wiped off the excess leaving the green paint in the crevice of the word. What can you do to alter an embellishment and create a new look?

Here are a few close ups...
