Hello, Dear Friend: Sketch #3

 

(Sketch from www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com)

 

 

 

This week's skecth comes from www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com .  I wanted to use one of my new stamp sets and this bike from the SU! Moving Forward set fit perfectly on the front of this card.  Don't freak out but I did cut the sentiment away from this bike image and used it separately on the bottom of the card.  I did that with each stamp in that set that contained an image and a sentiment together.  It just works better for me that way.  I really like the vintage feel of this card and will probably make another one soon.  Hope you have a great day and remember, it is always homemade!

Sketch #2 With Video

So, this week, I was looking for something that I could use washi tape (the newest fad) with and this sketch was PERFECT!!  So, I went to work and made a few variations.

And while I had the washi tape out....

Below is the video that accompanies this sketch....ENJOY and remember, it is always homemade!

Sketch #1

(This sketch is from www.gotsketch.blogspot.com April 2012)

 

There are several places online that you can go and find sketches for cards and scrapbook layouts.  Millions, actually!  So, this month and next we are going to do a new sketch each week.  This month, the sketches will be on Mondays.  A list of places to look for sketches are at the end of this post.

 

We start with this sketch which I actually saw on Pinterest and tracked it down to the original website for you guys.  With the Chevron pattern being so "in" right now, I thought this would be a fun one to start out with.  As you look at my card below, it is obvious that I did not copy it exactly but you can see the general layout in my card.  That is the point of sketches....to get your brain working and make something original. 

 

Hope you enjoy the sketches to come and remember it is always homemade.
