Sketch #24

Back to our regular Friday sketch now I think, let's get some pages done on our weekends. If we can't carve ourselves a little time for creativity on the weekend, there is something dreadfully wrong! 

I was inspired for this one by the rather large stash of ribbons lurking in my scraproom. I'm not one of those neat scrappers who has a pretty dispenser with ribbons on spools, I've been crafting for way too long for that and I have a few boxes of snippets and lengths of all sorts and all colours (except the one I particularly want of course) and honestly, I should do something with them. If you are anywhere near the same, here is a tiny start.

Sketch #23

A sketch suitable for boys today - and of course, you could change the gears to any other embellishment that you like, just like any of the sketches. Little animals would be cute. Hope you like it, and remember, you can share your work by sending me an email anytime.

Sketch #22

It's been a while since I posted a sketch for you, sorry about that :-) Here's a nice one to start us off again. Hope you like it.

If you would like to have some flowers like this to put on your layout, go to StormScraps flower shop and be tempted :-)

Sketch #21

Hello all, sorry I've been missing in action, but here is a new sketch for the weekend, with some lollipop flowers. I hope you like it.

Sketch #20

After the boys page comes a very girly page. This one would be lovely as a vintage page, but you could dress it in modern clothes too and it would look just as lovely.

Sketch #19

I hope you like these little cuties and that they inspire you in your quest to scrap your boy pages. Of course, cars or animals or other embellishments will work just as well.

Sketch #18

Sketch #18 - hope you like it, and it inspires your creativity :-)

Sketch #17

I felt like doing a sketch tonight, for a photo I want to scrap tomorrow - so I thought you might like to share it :-)  Hopefully I will actually get time tomorrow to do it, and I hope you have some time for scrappy pursuits this week too. So relaxing, so fullfilling, so enjoyable.

Sketch #16

Another weekend ahead of us - will you get any scrappy time, do you think? I hope so, we all need a bit of creative time to help us feel satisfied. Here's a sketch that might inspire you to squeeze a little extra "me" time into your weekend.

Sketch #15

Just made this one this morning, for 3 photos, one 4x6 and two smaller ones. Hope you like it :-)

Sketch #14

Here we are at the end of the week again. Did you do anything useful or exciting with yours, or was it just getting from one end of the week to the other and being grateful it's done with? I hope in all the busyness of your life, you are finding some time to just be you - and some time to be creative. This week's sketch has boys in mind, but could easily adapt for a girl page, too. Or a holiday page maybe. Hope you like it.

Sketch #13

I just realised that I didn't do last week's sketch. Sorry girls, I've been a bit caught up in my life's events this month, looking after my family and all. Here is a nice one for you to have a go at. Would love to see your page if you do use it :-)

See you on Friday with another one.

Oh, and if you want to have the chance to win a fabby blog RAK, go to my scrap blog, StormScraps, and read all about it.

Sketch #12

Friday again, and here is a sketch for you to play with over the weekend. I haven't had time this week to make a page with it, my son has broken his hand so I've been a bit pre-occupied. Anyway, I hope you like it, and you make a nice page with it. I'd love to see what you do.

love Heather x ..always be a little kinder than necessary.

Sketch #11

I've been playing with my sketching lately and making all sorts of new items and design elements to add to the pages. So much fun when I think of something new and find a way to make it happen. I hope you like this week's sketch and can use it to make yourself a beautiful page.

Sketches #9 and #10

It has been a bit disrupted with family life, holidays, flooding, etc - luckily we weren't flooded, but life is disrupted in Brisbane, even if your house has stayed dry. Anyway, I have finally got my act together to give you not one, but two sketches, to make up for it :-)

Scrappy Sketch #9 comes with a layout:

Scrappy Sketch #10

Do you like the little owl I have on these sketches? It was tricky to make in the limited program I have, and I was so delighted when it worked.

I would love to see your work, if you are inspired by my sketches and make a layout or card. Email me at scrappysketches@live.com.au to share your layouts and I will happily add them to my slide show.

I will be updating all my sketches in the next month, and will continue to give you something new and stash busting each week, so watch this space. :-)

New Beginnings

The start of another year - full of promise, isn't it? Even if things are tough, we seem to have hopes at the start of a year that we don't even vaugely entertain half way through. Not many of us fill our cups with resolutions and aspirations in August... But say the word January, and some of us go all out with hopes, dreams, wishes and promises to ourselves.

Well, I'm promising myself to set a new sketch up for you every week, and it might not always be the same day each week, because I'm not that good (that's one of the hopes though, that I get that good!) but it will happen. So this year, you can look forward to 52 fabulous sketches to help inspire you to create some pages for your albums. I'm even going to share some pages - bonus, lol!

Here is Scrappy Sketch #8, hope you like it :-)

Please feel free to share your layouts with me, I would love to put them here on Scrappy Sketches.
