So Sketchy #6

Now, I'm getting ready to show you something.
and I don't want you to be alarmed,
but I do feel you would be safer sitting down.
It's nothing to be afraid of,
but it's very alarming, nonetheless.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Okay..........................
here goes:
TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thank You!! Thank You!!
Please, no applause:)
What possessed me to do a 2-page layout?
I have NO idea.
I cannot even remember the last time I did a 2-page layout.
But, I printed off these pictures & headed over to So Sketchy.
I needed a sketch for 5 pictures & when I saw this 2-pager sketch,
I thought................I can do this!!
And I did..................me so happy:)
I used some Glitz Design papers,
WHICH I got for free from Label Tulip last month (they totally rawk)
with the pumpkin stem being cut from a piece of Collage Press.

So, because it is a two-page layout,
have I mentioned that it's a two-page layout?
I just want to be sure,
because it's definitely worth mentioning that it's a two-page layout!!
But, because it is..............it seemed to take me forever.
Now, please let me go, as I must sleep!!

Pink Sketch #4

So I can finally breathe.
I love getting custom orders,
but I totally stress over them.
I worry they won't like it and that keeps my creative juices from flowin'
So, I was asked to make something with this quote, shadowbox & pictures.
and after a week of "stressing,"................I LOVE how it turned out,
but I'm worried they won't like it.
It's for their "brother."
Too girly, hu?
Yep.......that's what I'm thinking, BUT
in my defense, they are giving him another shadowbox
filled with hunting stuff!!
So, how does this fit into Pink Sketches #4?
Well, it's NOT a 2-pager,
but it is 16 inches across,
& I immediately thought of this sketch when I started the project.
So, I molded it into my own, but used it as my "spring-board."
It's hard to see, but my butterfly is layered & embossed.
I used an iridescent embossing powder
& on top of this Prima paper, it turned out beautifully.

So, now that I'm finished with this project,
I plan on working on some Christmas projects.
I have so many tins I can alter for gifts
& Christmas cards are always good to have around.
We also have my neice's bday party this weekend.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
