Using Sketches

Up until a few days ago I hadn't used a sketch for a page. It's not that I have anything against using sketches. I think they are great for inspiration. It is just that I haven't done it. No excuse really. Well while I was running through the "Challenges" forum at Scrapbook.com I noticed a Sketch challenge for the month. So I thought to myself why not. I ended up using 2 of the 3 sketches offered for the month on the following two pages that I also entered into several other challenges. I really like how they turned out and want to say a public THANKS to Liz Qualman (Q-diggity) for the great inspiration. Check out her gallery for more great sketches.

And here is my take on the sketch, the flourishes and flowers are handmade

Also if you are needing some great inspriation or just a little kick in the hind quarters to get those pages out...check out the galleries and challenge threads at Scrapbook.com.

Happy Friday & Happy Scrappin'

This is the finished page from the swap/challenge. The flowers are cut from each of the uglies using my Cricut. This is the 3x5 quote card also made from the same papers. Now lets see what you can come up with. The CHALLENGE....pick at least 3 of your least favorite papers from you stash and turn "Ugly" into "Beauty".
