Sketches

Post by Monica »

Firstly, a cool way to make porcelain paper pins using Crystal Lacquer http://www.ustamp4fun.com/ProjectGaller ... nPaper.htm

And then a link to several different album instructions http://www.scrapbook-crazy.com/scrapboo ... tions.html

Followed by a few random sketches for layouts and cards....

Monica

The first sketch is from: http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/
The second sketch is from: http://www.pencillines.com/
And the third sketch is from: http://littlebookofsketches.blogspot.com/

Here are a few more ideas from http://littlebookofsketches.blogspot.com/, along with a link for her sketches on ATCs http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/littleboo ... dingCards#. It looks like her blog background is wonky, but the sketches are all there still.

July cyber-crop challenge #2 - Sketches!! (layouts)

Post by Monica »

I can't resist a good sketch or two or three....

The first sketch comes from here: http://littlebookofsketches.blogspot.com/
Aside from using the sketch as a guideline, some portion of your layout needs to be created using a diecut machine. No requirements for which element, just note which element was cut using either an electronic or manual diecut machine!!

Christmas in August Challenge #1 - sketches for layouts

Post by Monica »

For me, sketches are the easiest to find and the easiest to start with when I'm at a loss for inspiration..... and sometimes they are just what I need to get the mojo going!

Today's wonderful sketches all come from here: http://littlebookofsketches.blogspot.com/. I'm not sure that the gal is posting new sketches, but I do enjoy her stash of sketches still available. This is the chance to dig out any of those holiday or winter photos that may need to be scrapped, either for you or maybe to add to a family member's scrapbook. The only requirement, aside from using the sketch of course!, is to use either a Christmas/holiday color scheme or a winter color scheme. Don't over-think the color palette if it causes problems.... I'm not the crafting Nazi! :tomato:

In an effort to give you all more variety, I also found some that will work for holiday portraits, sitting on Santa's lap, the holiday tree (that's one I do every year).....

J/F challenge #1 - multi-use sketches

Post by Monica »

Now be kind to me; these sketches are freehand drawn, based on some elements from some cards and layouts that caught my eye. I've done them in more of a square format, but feel free to change them up for cards, non-square art, or whatever. These are very basic sketches. The idea is simply to give you a jumping off point for your project. I didn't place photo mattes on these; the idea is to allow you the freedom to place photos wherever you'd like. ;) Some of them may be used for mattes, but they could also simply be layers.
