A BIG thank you to my 6 So Sketchy Page Sistas for all their hard work and efforts in the last 6 months! Love you guys!

And for their final finale.... one last sketch....

Soccer
by Savitri

I love Savitri's sense of colour! She always uses such beautiful hues and blends colours so well together. I love that Savitri has taken the simple and straight title from the sketch and developed her own version! A sunny and wonderful page Savitri!


Artsy Fartsy
by Wendy


I giggle every time I read Wendy's title... just TOO cute for words! Love how Wendy has taken the three squares and made them her own! Super cute page Wendy!

Toi (You)
by Virginie

I just love Virginie's sense of colour! She blends here patterned paper so well! Love how she took the center strip from the sketch and used a funky sticker strip! Awesome and fun page Virginie!


Grow
by Kristii

I adore the little tree and scene Kristii has created with her tree, buttons and fence. I love that Kristii has interpreted the circle from the sketch and made her own; a very organic shape. Super layout Kristii!


Decorate
by Jana

I love Jana sense of whimsy on this page! She's taken the circle from the sketch and used it as an arrow to point back at her gorgeous photos! Glorious page Jana!


Sweet 16 Treats
by Christine

In order to get all of her cake detail photos on her page, Christine has adjusted the sketch to include just one more square. I love Christine's sense of detail. She always seems to have to most gems and blooms and always fit just perfectly on her work. A gorgeous page Christine!

Thank you again to Christine, Wendy, Virginie, Savitri, Jana, Kristii and Wendy for an amazing 6 months. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with myself and the So Sketchy readers. Hugs to you all!

Say a Prayer For Us

September Card Sketch #2

This month I gave all the So Sketchy Sistas an opportunity to try out different sketches... I asked the page sketch gals if they wanted to make cards and the card sketch gals if they wanted to make pages for one sketch.

Christine chose to make a card sketch!

Love

I love that Christine made a card with so much texture! Look at that layered flower and those gorgeous layered ribbon and embellishments. Stunning card Christine!

August Sketch #6: 12x12

I love adding circles and scallops to my sketches. So here's one with both! Enjoy!

True Beauty
by Christine

I just wanted to share with you the message that Christine sent me with her page....

I was really inspired by a talk that I had with my daughter about inner beauty and self-worth the morning that I created the layout. Just a note: this page is inspired by a song by Mandisa called "True Beauty". The journaling on the page are some of the lyrics of the song:

Doesn't come in a bottle, doesn't come in a box
You can't spray it on, you can't wash it off
You can't nip and tuck, you can't sew it up
So don't waste your time
It's the love in your heart, the peace in your soul
The hope in your smile lets the whole world know
This little light - you gotta let it shine

(Chorus):
What's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and stars
The mountains and the seas
He made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously
Let the whole world see your
True beauty

Thanks Christine for sharing a little of you and your family with us!

August Sketch #4: 12 x 12

I have been seeing a lot of diamonds in pages in the scrapping world so I thought I'd include some in a sketch too!

Boys
by Christine

Freakin' gorgeous! I love the bright blues and the pop of all the citrus and lime colours on top! Fabulous page Christine!


Hot Tubbin'
by Jana

I just love all the glorious layers on Jana's page! Did you see that she even included some interesting material along the edge??? Very cool!


Happy Girl
