May 10th Sketch is up at SOUS "Postcard Perfect"



Happy Friday, everyone! My favorite day of the week!! 

And it's time for a new Sketch Challenge over at Stuck on U Sketches.  I was so excited about giving this one a go! It has been about 2 months since I created this one though, so I hope I can remember a few of the details for you! LOL! You may have noticed that I took a bit of a break from SOUS ..  thanks to my sweet co-leaders and friends Leah and Nanne.'  It gave me a wonderful opportunity to get some things done around the home that I've seriously been needing to do! 

The photos are of my lovely granddaughters and were taken by a family friend of theirs.  (Thanks, Kristen!)  Just too cute not to scrap! I've used some of the newer Kaisercraft Base Coat and 75 cents collections! Aren't they just fabulous?! I can't wait to create a few more pages with what I have left! 

I used my fave Martha Stewart Scroll Hearts punch as well as her Floral Vine punch. I made a few of my own flowers using the Spellbinders/Donna Salazar Bitty Blossoms Die. They are such fun to make! I've also added a few Prima and Petaloo. 

I've been dying to do a large corner peek-a-boo page for awhile! I think I first saw it done by the awesome Lisa Valentine although I have seen other artists use it as well. It also reminds me of a few done by scrappy friend Marilyn Rivera.

I've added a few artsy touches with both black (circles) Gesso and white (flowers) Gesso.  Then finished off the flowers with some jute bows for texture. 

Thanks for coming by today! Remember that  you will have 2 weeks to create a challenge page using the sketch and upload it at SOUS using the Inlinz Tool! Can't wait to see what you create! 

Thanks for all your sweet comments! I read them all and appreciate them alot~ Have a great weekend!!

  11. Love your beautiful layout Sandi! Lots of great touches :o) I made a license place book for The Crafty Scrapper last year and people have been asking for a class ever since - so I finally found some great paper for it. I will be doing two classes in July and August!
