SOUS Original sketch reveal day!




Hi, everyone! This is going to be a very fast post from me today as reveal is only moments away! Although I did not think I had time to do the sketch this week, I dearly loved it and just had to play!!! 

Really, this is simpler than most of my pages but when I tried to add more to it, the layout just looked far too busy. I guess sometimes less really is more! Never thought you'd hear me say that, huh? 

I've used the gorgeous Lake House collection from Kaisercraft ... which I could not get to photograph quite true to color. But trust me, they are so yummy! One very time consuming detail done was using my craft knife to fussy cut the fountain from the background paper so that I could layer my other papers behind it. Next it was "distress and random punch" time! Been loving the "random punch" look. I've added some doilies and then some cute little Petaloo butterflies from my stash. My title was made using some foam Thickers in charcoal that I had on hand. I've had them awhile and it was nice to finally use them! 

The photo is of my dggd taken recently. There is some  PhotoShop editing with Florabella to add some glow to her face. 

I think that is about it! I hope that you will hop on over to Stuck on U Sketches and see what the rest of the Design Team has done! There are some amazing layouts! While you are there, please, please, please scroll on down to the Card Challenge posted below today's reveal. Our Card team really aced the sketch and graced us with some fabulous work. Now we are waiting for some participation .. from you!! For either challenge, you have 2 weeks to complete a project and then upload it for a chance at the Top 3. 

Thanks for coming by. Hope you have a great weekend!
