I {Heart} U

Evening.  Quick post tonight as its been a long day.  I wanted to share the most recent LO I made however for the MSW Sketch-A-Thon.

I started with a grid piece of patterned paper.  Have I ever told you how much I love grid paper?  I used watermark ink through a stencil and embossed the squares around the edges.  Next came a generous spraying of mist, inking through a stencil, and splatters.  I layered up all my patterned papers, bits and bobs, and declared it good.

I had to use this picture and even though its not the best one, it does show the best heart hands they made together.  You can also see how I embossed the sticker letters and added glitter to the birds.

I plan on linking this up to the Paper Issues challenge this month.  It'll be my first time playing along there.

I'm having such a great time cranking out pages and cards.  If you need something to do, you should join in.  Night.

MSW Sketch-A-Thon LO

Well, all the sketches are posted at My Sketch World and now it's time to kick the scrapping into gear!!! I have only made it through 5 sketches so far and I have 15 more to go!! That is if I only want to do one round...... there is also the option to do all the sketches a 2nd time creating a LO with a card sketch and vice versa!! That would total 40 projects by March 3 when everything has to be uploaded!

Here is what I came up with for the LO sketch #5

Life's a Journey:



I just love how this LO turned out! It is going to be hung up somewhere around here. I used all Graphic 45 patterned papers.

Here's a couple close ups:



The letters I used are from Jillibean Soup and October Afternoon. The lace and ribbon are The Paper Studio.



The stick pin is MM and the card is from October Afternoon. I inked it up with Walnut ink to age it and then crumpled it up. The pearls are Recollections and the buttons are from Basic Grey. There is still plenty of time for you to join us over at the Sketch-A-Thon so be sure you get on over to MSW and play along!!!
