Let's Capture These Sketches Reveal & Challenge

I am so excited to tell you that the first official sketch reveal at Let's Capture These Sketches is............... today!!

Our first sketch is by Mel and it was so wonderful to work with. I had these pics of DD printed for awhile but was waiting for the right design and papers. When I saw Mel's sketch I knew I was going to use them.

Here is the layout I created using a lovely die cut lace paper from Basic Grey Lemonade as my background. We have an amazing sponsor this month for Let's Create and unfortunately my parcel didn't arrive in time. I promise to update my layout with... My Little Bit of Whimsy when it arrives. Have you seen the amazing goodies they have there?? Go and check them out. I can't believe that all that lovely eye candy is hand made!! I have my eye on the bird, owl and flower pins. Yummy!

Challenge:

Please hop on over to the sketch blog to see all the other wonderful creations! Then use Mel's sketch as the foundation of your next layout. Email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for this months draw!

Challenge #6

I apologize for not getting this posted last night. My girls and I have all been suffering the last dew days with what Paige affectionately calls "The Curse of the Green Poo". Ah... children come up with the weirdest things!?

I have an easy one for you to do. Everyone loves a good scraplift challenge. At least I hope so. :)

The following layout is one I created for The Scrapping Bug using Basic Grey Mellow Line. I adore the colors so much. They happen to be the easiest papers I have ever worked with. Once again the darling subject is my sweet Paige.

My challenge is for you to create your own version of my layout. Find something in it to inspire you to make it your own. The beauty in scraplifting is that you can take one, two, three or more elements and incorporate it into your creation.

***All the challenges this week are due in my inbox( thynner5@yahoo.ca) or on the blog November 3rd!! I have extended the dates so everyone has more time to create and send their layouts or cards to me. I will announce the winner on the 4th. *** Remember you are playing for a RAK valued at over $50.00. All new CHA goodies.

I will be posting a bunch of mini challenges tonight. Keep an eye out for them.

Happy Scrapping!
