Stuck?!: A Sketch Layout-Gifts

Happy Holidays All!

Sharing with you my take on the December 1 Stuck Sketches?! sketch:

 I used  Lawn Fawn Peace Love and Joy paper collection I bought last year or maybe the year before, I can't remember anymore, LOL.

The poinsettia leaves are cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die. Badges are from the same Lawn Fawn line as the paper.

I fussy cut the black background circles from the paper and scattered black and red gems as well as snowflakes punched from glitter paper. The title alphas are from the December Scrap Shotz kit.

I can't wait to make use of more sketches in the New Year!

Thanks for stopping by 😀.

June 5th SOUS Sketch and an Announcement!

Hello!
It's time for another fabulous sketch reveal from S.O.U.S. but first here is an announcement copied direct from Nanne at SOUS:

*First of all, let me start by saying thank you to all of our followers and for those of you that like to stop by now and then to see what us girls have been creating, but with those words, we here at S.O.U.S have come to the hardest decision of making this month our last month for challenges..

Leah and I have been keep up with this amazing blog for 5.5 yrs... We have absolutely loved sharing our joy of creating with you and have loved seeing what you have created with our inspiring design team.. We have made lots of new friends in the last 5.5 yrs and we know its hard to say good bye..  But not just yet, we still have this whole month to share fun challenges with you..

Yes, it's with some sadness I only have two more sketch layouts to share with you who take your valuable time to stop by and see what I've been creating. I want to thank each and every one of you who have stopped by to be inspired by Nanne, Leah and my fellow design team members during the past years of S.O.U.S..
It has been my sincere pleasure to share my take on the sketches with you, it has truly been an honor to be a part of this wonderful team and I thank you for taking your time to look at my work.

Now, on to this week's sketch and layout, here's a reminder of the sketch we're working with this week:

and here's my layout:

I had the hardest time choosing the patterned papers for this, I loooooooove patterned paper! I narrowed down my choices to the Crate Paper DIY Shop line and placed them on an angle.

I then used stickers from the same line to created the banner, title and embellishment clusters.

I finished off the layout with Prima flowers from my stash and glitter brads to hold them in place, creating a visual triangle to lead the eye through the layout.

I hope you've enjoyed my version of this week's sketch, please go the original post at SOUS to find the linky to link up your take on this sketch.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!

**Stuck On U Sketches March 27 Sketch Reveal**

Hello and thanks for joing me for the latest Stuck On U Sketches sketch reveal.
There is sooo much inspiration in this fabulous sketch by Leah Schaeffer!

{Patterned paper, die cut pages, overlay, brads, chipboard, stickers-Simple Stories "Good Day Sunshine"; paper clip Simple Stories "I Am"; ledger paper-unknown; grey print-Studio Calico Basics; card stock-Bazzill}

I loved the lined paper in the sketch and found this ledger pattern in my stash, I placed it on a piece of Bazzill dotted card stock. It was great to pull out a punch I haven't used in awhile, that's the EK Success notebook edge punch. The die cut page I used for the layout title is one of the SN@P die cut pages in the Good Day Sunshine collection along with the woodgrain pattern.

This 'holepunched' paper is also a die cut page from the same collection. You have a good look at the overlay I used with the hexagons layered over the woodgrain page.

I handcut a tag to hold my journaling and finished it off with a brad. The also punched the edge on the tag which creates a visual triangle with the other punched edges.

I hope you'll find some time to give this sketch a try and link it up at SOUS!

Thanks for stopping by :)

**New** SOUS Project Life Challenge

Welcome to the latest and also the last Project Life Challenge from Stuck On U Sketches. 

WOODGRAIN

Here's my week 34 Project Life layout:

You can't tell by the photo but the white 4x6 card is woodgrain card stock. I've also used a strip of woodgrain paper behind the 34 and created a 3x4 filler card with woodgrain paper as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you to SOUS for all the PL challenges! Although the challenges will not continue, I will still be working on my 2014 version of Project Life and posting the pages here. I hope you'll continue to pop in and check out my PL.

**New Stuck On U Sketches Project Life Challenge**

The current SOUS  Project Life challenge is....PLAID

I had a mild panic attack as I thought I had NO plaid but a short flip through only one of my 6 paper holders yielded a number of plaid options.

This page is the 2nd of a two page spread for week 33 so I chose this plaid with blue as it matches the blue letters I used on the facing page.

As plaid is a strong pattern I didn't want to overwhelm the photos with it so I used a 4x6 card as the title card and then punched a few circles which I placed on a solid colour of card stock and voila!!
Another page done!

Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to see your take on the Project Life Challenge so link up your layout at Stuck On U Sketches.

**New SOUS** Project Life Challenge

Hello Everyone!
So glad to have you stop by for the latest Stuck On U Sketches Project Life challenge:

I must admit I was feeling a bit challenged with this, thinking these are Halloween colours but I would be using them for summer photos.

As you can see see I opted to use charcoal instead of black, lots of white elements and a happy orange with a small touch of sky blue so this page feels bright and not theme-y.

Remember with a challenge of any kind, you can interpret it in a way that works for you, especially with a colour challenge, there are many different shades of these colours you can use to make them fit with your photos.

Please link us up with your take on this challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches, thanks for stopping by!

**New SOUS Project Life Challenge**

Link up your "Keep Calm and..." project over at SOUS. I'd love to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Now, on to the latest Project Life Challege!!!

There are so many ways to incorporate this challenge in to your Project Life spread or if you're like me and were a bit shy on the photos for the week, it gave me a great jumping off point to fill my pockets ;)).

One of my favourite techniques is heat embossing and so I pulled out a couple of stamps and embossing ink and powder to add metallic gold to this spread. I stamped 'hello life' and 'the facts', both Ali Edwards stamps for Technique Tuesday and gold heat embossed. The 4x6 sheet with 'the facts' embossed is a snippet of one of my "to-do" lists.

Here's a close up of the 'hello life' card which is a 3x4 Project Life blank card that I stamped with embossing ink then covered with gold detailed embossing powder and heat set.

The top and bottom right pockets contain cuts from WRMK Metallic Sheets. The top left card was cut from Studio Calico "All that Glitters" paper. The numbers are Thicker Chit Chat glitter letter stickers, small alphas/numbers are Teresa Collins Basically Essential Alpha Stickers.

That's my PL layout for this challenge, I hope you'll join myself and the entire SOUS Project Life Design Team in this challenge! I'm looking forward to reading your comments and feel free to ask any questions regarding my process or layout as well!!
