Sassy’s Lil Sketch 21st July

Amazing it’s the 21st again, and I can’t believe that another six months with Sassy Lil’ Sketches have gone by!!!

I’m so happy to announce that I’ve signed on for another six months ….

I find Cherie’s sketches so inspirational … and here is July’s sketch!

I love the versatility of multiphoto layouts … and I decided to use photos from my day out to the Special Olympics with my friend Irini, godson C3 and his friend Ilias! The papers are mainly echo park, although I did sneek in a bit of Crate paper in the background …

Here is my take on it:

July 21st SLS Layout

Here are some close-ups:

Journalling strips, baker's twine, sticker embellies

Title, is from the flag the volunteers were giving out ...

Sticker banner, and paper banner ...

Sassy Lil Sketches DT Reveal

Today Sassy Lil Sketches revealed their Design teams for the term August 2011 – February 2012.

We are so excited to announce our new Sassies, but before we do we would like to just let in on a few of the changes you will be seeing on both Sassy Lil’ Sketches blogs.   Starting in August, we will be revealing new Sassy Lil’ Sketches on Tuesdays and Sassy Lil’ Card Sketches on Thursday. “Switch it Up”  Saturday will premiere on  Sassy Lil’ Sketches in August, too!
A few of our Sassies are not returning this coming term. 
We will definitely miss their talent, but wish them the best!
I’m happy and excited because I’m back again, but this time instead of my regular week 3 spot I’m in my new Switch it up position!!!
What’s this you say?
Well you’ll just have to wait until the 2nd Saturday in August to find out!!!!
I’m happy to see both my friend Melenia & Irini  on the DT as well, and I’d like to welcome Marie to the card DT !!! Way to go GREECE!!
On my seperate page you can find the full Design Team list!

Sassy Lil Card Sketch

Well, I’m still making flowers, so I decided to do another card …

Did you know that Sassy Lil’ Sketches has a whole site devoted to card sketches???

Well it does  and you can find it HERE!!!

I’ve used this sketch made by Cherie of course!

and here is my card!

June 28th card

The papers are Basic Grey from the Sugar Rush collection. I’ve used Bazzil for the base of the card, have made my own flower [like in the previous post] leaves are a Sizzix die, baker’s twine, brad centre is Eyelet Outlet … and the stamped sentiment is Unity stamp from Nov. 2009 kit!

Friend Card

Hello, today I’d like to share a card that I’ve made ….

I’ve been fascinated with flower tutorials lately, and I found this interesting ONE … I’ve cut the flowers using a scallop punch, paper from a book, and mists to colour them … I’ve also been wearing surgical gloves to mist, as I use a lot of the colour!

I’ve used more of the papers from the Crate Papers Emma’s Shoppe Collection which Lena from Enjoy Scrapping still stock, Baker’s twine which I won from Miss Art’s Papercrafting, Sizzix leaf die, brads from Eyelet Outlet, and the sentiment and butterfly are Unity stamps, from my first Kit Sept. 2008.

Some close-ups:

Butterflies decorated with glitter pens, and baker's twine
