Shimelle Sketch Challenge

A few weeks ago I was creating for a Sketch Challenge at Shimelle.com. I've always like sketches as they are a great way to get your scrapbooking started.

This was my starting point.

3 Explorers.

I used all the space and star embellishments to scrap this photo taken at NASA. I used a Cut Shoppe file to create the white stars on the background.You might not initially see the connection to the sketch but in fact I just moved all the elements closer together in the centre to allow more of the lovely background paper to show. My journalling is an the back as the front is busy enough!

Please pop over to Shimelle.com to see other great takes on this sketch plus more weekly challenges x

Guest Designer - Just Nick

I was thrilled to be asked to be the Guest Designer for Just Nick cut files for June. There is such a wonderful choice of files in the shop that it was hard to pick which ones to use. As we had recently celebrated our wedding anniversary I thought this heart file would be appropriate.

XOXO

Rather than set my silhouette to cut I used the perforate setting so that I could use the holes to sew the outlines of the hearts.It was a labour of love but I like the finished look. The photos were added with a cluster of embellishments to finish it off.

You guys always colour my world.

For this page I used this months FREE cut file - Tic Tac Toe background. I wanted to create a kaleidoscope effect so starting in the centre I backed the background with the colours of the rainbow.

I decided to keep the focus through the centre & used another cut file - Always which I cut from watercolour paper & randomly painted before adding its outline & using in my title.
