By the Bay ~ SOUS Original Sketch ~


TGIF ~ It's Friday again and time for another Stuck on U Sketches reveal.  This week we have another original sketch (by me) that I whipped up quickly one morning before I actually learned how to do them digitally. I already have a few more ready that we'll be using in December. Creating them gets kind of addicting!

But I was very pleased that the sketch made for one of my favorite layouts for this summer. Helped along with some gorgeous Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers and and awesome photo of my nieces taken on their little vacay to San Francisco this year. Snagged this photo off of Facebook. LOL I thought they looked adorable!

I loved working with Butterfly Garden .. the papers are just my colors! For the circle on the sketch, I opted to use a Cricut doiley cut .. from the CM Reminisce Accents cart. There is lots of layering and distressing as well as some punchwork and stamping. I have finally gotten bitten by the bug and am stamping on most of my pages now. Here I've used a Prima Clear Stamp as well as a Tim Holtz rubber stamp.

My flowers are a mix of Prima Fiesta Flowers (coral sea) that I've been hoarding along with some Prima Belle Arte roses with some small bright pink roses from my Swirlydoos kit added in. Love the pop of color!

I fussy cut some flowers and butterflies from the paper and mixed those in with the others. There is some Zva Creative bling and some Prima felt leaves and Shabby Chic resin window. My alphas were a mix of 2 colors of Thickers. 

I think that is about it! Hope you will visit the other designers and see what they have created! I've been soooo excited to see the pages that came from my simple sketch. The design team has dome an awesome job! Below is a copy of the sketch if you haven't downloaded it yet.  




Thanks for coming by. Hope those of you in the USA will have a happy, safe Labor Day weekend! Okay, let's get creative ~

  6. Hello friend!
    This is a great page and hey...they were in my neck of the woods! (kinda! LOL)
    Really like the paper choices with this one!
    So hey, wanted to answer your question...the picture was right! My little girl was super super strawberry blonde until her 1st birthday! And topped it off with a curl on the top of her head (just like her Mommy had at that age as well!) All my babies had cool do's! LOL!
    Ok have a great time of vacay! Hugs!!!!!!
