Saturday Sketch #3 May

For this weeks sketch I have used the Magnolia Grove paper collection again, but this time I just focused in on all the soft blues and greens in the paper range. This photo was always going to be difficult to scrap with all those colours going on in there ( maybe I should have printed it in black and white?!!) so I focused on a soft page to highlight and frame the photo itself.

And here is the sketch it was all based on...

As you can see I flipped the image over for my sketch and also added an enormous amount of extra everything ... just the way I like my scrapbooking pages!!! LOL If you would like to give the sketch a try, THIS is the link to the Kaisercraft Blog where you can find the challenge ...Good Luck.

Magnolia Grove Cards

Here are some cards made from the lovely new 'Magnolia Grove' paper collection... they were so simple to make by just using different back grounds from the paper pad and this wonder bit of paper...

As you can see all I had to do was cut up the 12x12 sheet to get 12 perfect little fronts to my cards ... a few bits and bobs (such as ribbon, flowers and bling) and the cards practically made themselves!! LOL

I love the 6 1/2" square paper pads, they just make cards soooo easy to pull together... and then there are the classic little finishing touches like the Martha Stuart Butterfly Punch ... when I die from too much scrapbooking I want that punch placed in the coffin beside me ... as I simple cannot part with it ...ever!

Saturday Sketch #1 May

How wonderful it was to play with the new Magnolia Grove paper collection... oh these papers are soooo divine, I just adore all the colours! I've also used some 'Shrinky Dinks' to create the little butterflies you can see in this LO, that stuff is so much fun to play with, but I almost lost the wee little butterflies 100 times before I got them finally stuck on the page!! LOL I also hailed back to my flower making days with this sketch, the three roses at the bottom were made from a 5 petal flower punch!

So below you can see the sketch that this page was based on ... lucky it's an interpretation eh! LOL
