Imaginisce Sketch Challenge for April

This is a lo I made following a sketch from the Imaginisce Blog for the month of April. The very talented Aphra created the sketch, and the requirements are that you base your layout on the sketch and use at least 75% Imaginisce products. All paper is from the Twitterpated collection, which matched very well to these photos from Vancouver. I used my Cricut and the cartridge "Give a Hoot" to cut the owl and fawn. This cartridge is sooooo perfect for my Vancouver/Alaska album!

Here are some close-ups of the owl and fawn:

Have a super evening!

Imaginisce Sketch Challenge for March

I made this fun lo yesterday for the March sketch challenge on the Imaginisce Blog. I loved that the sketch called for 3 photos, and I found these that matched this paper so well! These photos are from last June when my family helped me celebrate my birthday a few days early (we were in Key West on the actual day). The make the paper "ribbon curls" I cut a 1/4" piece of paper and then wrapped it around a pencil. I kind of smooshed down the curls so that they would lay flatter (I knew my album would really never close if I left them 3-D, and I already have a huge problem with that! LOL!). I used my I-top to make the cupcake brads.

Here is a close-up:

Some Sweeties!

Hi! I made this lo tonight using some Imaginisce "Sweet Cheri" paper and embellies. I followed the sketch challenge from Imaginisce on their blog which was designed by Julie (from 52 Sketches). I also found a pack of cupcake related products from Colorbok, which matched the Sweet Cheri paper. The cupcakes and polka dot and plaid papers are from this line. On the 3 strips of paper I sanded the edges to add some interest, since it seemed to blend too much. Underneath my cupcakes, I took some lace, and stitched it up to create a flower. I then Glimmer Misted the lace flower to make it pink. Here is a close-up:

Too cute, right?! Lol, thanks for stopping by tonight!
