SOUS July 8th


Yea, it's Friday again .. love Fridays, don't you?! Especially love Fridays at Stuck on U Sketches when we have a new sketch reveal! And crafters, you are in for a special treat. This week's sketch is an original done by our very own Nanne' Harry.  If you missed it at SOUS or just haven't been there yet, I have included it at the end of this post.

I hope that you aren't tired of wedding/bridal layouts because there are a whole bunch of them in our future together!! LOL This is another photo of dgd-in-law Olivia. There are a few similar poses that I will scrap soon. But I just adore this one with the bridal gown against the worn barn and with O's eyes cast toward the horizon.

So, I'm not sure how I came to choose this lovely paper by Prima (Moulin Rouge) from one of my recent Swirlydoos kits (well, not so recent really) but I'm so glad I did. The wedding colors were an almost black shade of wisteria paired with charcoal, so I was looking for those tones. The sketch calls for lots of white space .. but I cheated a bit by using the paper with a pretty margin.



Just a close-up of my Prima vine with some Prima and Kaisercraft florals and Prima Candy Gems in Fruity Tutti (beads) along with some ribbon and K and Co dimensional sticker.


I've been saving this large Prima flower for awhile .. figured it was time to use it.


Here you can faintly see the piece where I used the MS Scroll Heart punch and then embossed with the CB Swiss dots folder, then sanded the paper to expose the core.  For my title I added some long-stashed Prima sugared letters that I adore! If I had know how much I liked them when I saw them at the craft store, I would have stocked up for sure.



The sketch calls for a little something in this upper corner of the photo and I chose to use some tulle from the corsage they had for me at the wedding. I guess they are still in vogue  .. LOL. Plus some more florals and a wee little butterfly in that white space where he is not supposed to be .. wink, wink.


Just had to throw in a photo by itself.  My dgs did a great job of choosing a wife. She is practical, comical, natural and so very striking.


And here is that sketch as promised! Nanne' says that sketching is easy .. yea, right?! It exceeds my skills for sure.

Okay, one last thing.  There is a bit of blog candy over at SOUS, so hurry over and grab the details.

Thanks for coming by .. I am hoping to make it to more blogs this week although we are gearing up for yet another big party this weekend! But I will see you soon!
