Throwback sketch

 

I made this layout based on this sketch

The story behind is that our tour bus stopped at a hotel to pick up some people. This duck was in the front garden so I hopped out to take a photo. The valet was nearby so I asked him did the duck have a name? He told me it was Melania the wife of Donald Duck. That made me laugh. 

Sketches in Thyme

 I've completed using my kit this morning. Last layout was for Sketches in Thyme.

Here's my layout

This is the original sketch

Now to put away the remaining bits and pieces.

Counterfeit Kit challenge #1 Use a doiley

 As the challenge involved a doiley I decided to use the biggest one I had. It is a white oval.

I had 4 pictures which I put at skew angles then added my mixed title in the centre. I added several sticker dots and stars to brighten up the page.

Jumpstart sketch and Play layout

 

I put the background paper in my kit because it was printed crooked. It slopes to the right.

The above sketch meant that I had straight lines to follow. I used a strip of brown across the bottom mainly because it was a kit offcut. Then I used 2 different washi tapes as my thinner strips.

I added a journal card with the details as I knew nothing about this until I looked it up.

Here's a second layout I did for The scraproom and the challenge was to use the letters of PLAY.

Stash challenge- P pale background, paperclip L-lizards,little things A acorns, angled photos and title Y years old alphas (Had them for about 15 years.) yellow in flower clusters.

It's too hot today to do any more but I had fun with these two.

Time out Challenges

 I've just come home from a nice lunch out with a friend.

I found a card challenge at Time out challenges.

They want glitter. I had a chipboard fairy on an ATC. I tizzied her up by using liquid pearls on her top and sprinkled glitter for her skirt. I mounted all that on another layer then used Li'l Davis metallic paint in rose on the background. It shimmers in the light. Finally, I added a row of rhinestones and the number 4.

Black magic sketches.

 

This layout is for black magic sketches. We had to use black background. 

I decided to scrap some photos of the food on the cruise. I wound the remaining string around the top of the vertical paper then used old map paper as my horizontal. Most of it was covered with the photo strip. The bon voyage was cut from the map paper prior to sticking it down.

Soul Scrappers tic tac toe

 

I decided to try something different with this one.

I randomly painted through a negative frame from some words I had already used. This became my background. One of the words was sunshine. I had a small piece of tissue paper with the word "times" at the top. I angled it beside the sunshine and both became my title.

I then added the clock face which had been aged with a tea bag as well as the 2 tags with string wound around them. The tags were made years ago using washi tape.

I added a few enamel dots as my final touch.
