Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #113

It's time for a new sketch and we welcome Karleigh Sue Digi's as our sponsor.

Hi! I'm Cheri Shull, designer of Karleigh Sue Digi's.

KS officially launched in July 2014. I have loved

drawing since I was a small child. 

Now at age 30 I have come to realize my specific purpose in life is drawing. 

I have tried my hand at all sorts of arts, crafts, sewing, 

painting, cooking, baking and even up-cycling.

The time came to focus and center my career into one path instead

of multiple ones. I live in South Florida, USA (for now)

I was born in Ohio and long to return to the country life.

I am also a work-from-home

mommy of three. 

I dream of sharing my artwork across the world and being able

to use it to make a difference in this world.

You can find Karleigh Sue Digi's here on Etsy.

Now here's the sketch.....

I used this image from Karleigh Sue, papers from Heartfelt Creations and some ribbon from my stash.  

I coloured my image with coloured pencils blended with gamsol and added some light shading around the cupcake to add dimension. 

I then added some shimmer with a Wink of Stella Glitter Marker.  I also added Glossy Accents to the flame and to the sprinkles on the cupcake.

I hope you'll play along with us and be sure to pop over to Feeling Sketchy for more inspiration from the DT and for all the challenge details.

Project Life 2015 Title Page and Week 1

Happy New Year and here's to another year of Project Life!  I have decided to stick with the approach I used in 2014 and that means using Digital Core Kits and minimal embellishments.  It also means that some weeks will be documented on a single page and others on two pages, depending on how much is happening.

For my title page I opted for a monochromatic theme using the Midnight Core Kit and a card from this set by Paislee Press.  I added one little flair and some Thickers and called it done.

For Week 1, I have used the Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party Mini Kit to create my single page layout.  No other embellies were added.

Thanks for popping in and I hope you will continue to follow my little space on the interwebs!

Project Life Week 52

And another year of Project Life finishes!  This week I downloaded the Cherry Edition which is part of the free Starter Pack available at digitalprojectlife.com.  If you are considering going digital in 2015 and don't know where to start, then I would suggest grabbing that pack.

I had a fairly photo-heavy week to deal with but simply selected the pics that best represented our week, so I could balance out the layout with some filler cards.

Here is the LHS.....

And the RHS.....

And the entire week.....

Thanks for joining me for PL2014 and I hope to see you again for PL2015!

Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #112

It's time for a new card sketch at Feeling Sketchy and we welcome back Scrapbook Circle as a Challenge Sponsor.

Hello and welcome to Scrapbook Circle!Ever since I was young, it has been important to me to document the stories of my life. From the time I received my first camera when I was eight years old until now, taking pictures and organizing them to tell stories has been an important part of my life.In 2006 my dear friend, Crystal, and I decided to share our love of scrapbooking with others and we started Scrapbook Circle. It has been such a fabulous adventure to get to share our passion for preserving memories with others. After about a year and a half of running Scrapbook Circle, Crystal decided that she needed to focus more time on her family, so she turned her responsibilities over to me. It is such a blessing to be able to preserve my family’s memories and I’m sure you feel the same way about preserving your memories. I am truly thankful everyday for this wonderful opportunity to connect with others who find preserving their memories as important as I do.  I love this creative journey and I hope you will join me as we learn and grow together.

And now here's the sketch.....

 I took some papers from the "Everyday Circus" Collection by Fancy Pants Designs and created a shaker card using vellum as the window material rather than clear acetate.  

My sentiment is from this set called "Sketchy Banners" by Simon Says Stamp and I heat embossed it with silver and cut it out using the "Sketchy Banners" die set.

And my sentiment continues onto the inside of the card, where I silver heat embossed it on the black card base.

I hope you'll play along with us and be sure to pop over to Feeling Sketchy for more inspiration from the DT and for all the challenge details.
