So Sketchy August Sketch Contest

I managed to get a few pages and cards made in August and I was able to use some of them to double up on some challenges too. My Sketch World hosted their ABC Summer Crop during the entire month so I combined a couple of the August sketches from So Sketchy with the "recipe" from MSW and uploaded my creations to both blogs. I LOVE it when I can combine challenges because I have more time to spend on each creation. AND So Sketchy is trying something new .... the winner of their August Sketch Contest will be picked by YOU! The deadline for sending in our entries was Sept.4th which means that Allison will be posting the entries and voting rules anytime. Once she does that, I will post the direct link for the specific post on my blog. So, be sure to hop over to Allison's So Sketchy blog to have a look at all of the fantastic entries and don't forget to cast your vote for your favourite.

Here are all of my entries for the August sketch contest. (Allison doesn't allow anyone to post her sketches on their blog so above each of my creations you will see a link to the specific sketch on her blog.)

May & June Calendar Pages

I wanted to try my hand at some scrapbook challenges this month so I chose to make my May and June calendar pages using a couple of sketches from Allison Cope's blog So Sketchy. Her May #8 sketch was the inspiration for my June page. I decided to use a picture of my husband, son and father-in-law together on Father's Day 2004. Here is the sketch from Ally's blog:
And here is my take on that sketch:

Recipee:

Close To My Heart ink pads

Crafts ribbon

Unknown sticker and brads

We R Memory Keepers "Whiteout Explore" paper set

BoBunny All Stuck Up flowers

May's calendar page was inspired by sketch #5. In keeping with May's theme of Mother's Day, I featured pictures of my mom and my mother-in-law on this one.
Here is the sketch....

......and here is my take on it:

Recipee:

BoBunny's "Abbey Road" paper kit, buttons and flowers

Close To My Heart inks

Fiskar's border and circle punches

BoBunny Chunky Chipboard Charms

DCWV Vellum quote stack "Home & Family"

Thanks for stopping by for a peak at my work.
