Sizzlin' Summer Sketch #6

Oh Yeah! I'm back...missed a couple sketches...did you notice? I hope you clicked on over to Scrapbook Challenges and got a look at them even though I've missed them here! 

Gah, my weekend and week are just speeding by and as life tends to interrupt our creative intentions...such was the case for me!!!

I seem to be doing some really late night scrappin' but at least I'm getting a chance to play along with all these fun sketches...this one started with an idea in my head around the sketch and then kinda went a little North East from there!!! LOL

Isn't she cute?!!! It's pretty much just me in this household that thinks so...she is when she's taking one of her many daily naps...when she's awake she's not quite as cute and friendly...her teeny tiny size, a whopping 2.5 lbs, means she is quite nervous around short people (AKA. kids!) and so she tends to growl and snap at them! Ooops!

Ok so do you totally love these papers? This is the new Babycakes collection from Close To My Heart and the Babycakes Asst. which are these lovely canvas adhesive backed embellishments! So fun! The tiny type I've used for 'Lucy' is included in our My Crush Besties Asst. pack...a great little package of goodies that you can use with our new My Crush albums for fast/on the go scrapbooking...or to incorporate into your layouts, mini-albums or Project Life pages!

It just so happened that there was a great title already on my Babycakes Asst. sheet...which happened to fit in with this photo of Lucy having her nap :)

These great arrows were cut using the Sizzix 'Note to Self' Thinlits which coordinate with the Echo Park paper 'Note to Self'...it was super fast running these arrows through my Big Shot.

Here's the sketch!

 

Thanks for stoppin' in today! I hope you have some fun with these sketches...stay tuned for tomorrow sketch#7 and perhaps I'll even have a chance to get caught up with the last couple I missed! Fingers crossed ;)

Let's talk about July's Specials!

For this month only AND while supplies last...we are offering our Canvas art kit for 50% off!!!

Now what you don't see in the artwork below is that there are two different colour schemes you can go with when you get this kit...the one below is highlighting red and blue with brown but with my kit I used the yellows and greens and as you'll see, the end result looks completely different!!!

Now I want to warn you all that last months special sold out before the end of the month, so if you'd like to take advantage of this special you might want to let me know or visit my website now and grab this while you can! Make sure you check out all the 'While Supplies Last' section while you're there for ongoing awesome deals on products on their way out!

Every month we offer an exclusive stamp set...this July we've got the 'Sweet Life'...cherries, apples and peaches, very realistic looking and some great sentiments as well...click on this LINK to see the stamp images or to place an order. Get the 'stamp of the month' for $5 with every $50 purchase or order it on its own for $17.95...but remember that they are only ever available during the month they are featured!

I have orders going in every month, so you can easily message me with what you'd like and I'll be happy to add your order into my current order to save you on shipping costs ;)

got Dirt?

Hello!!! Super fun sketch here today! Scrapbook Challenges has released their Monday sketch and if you have tags, this one will take you all of a couple minutes to construct...

I got this 'Portfolio' Pink Paislee collection from Sandra @ the Memory Workshop a while ago because I'm in love with the papers and the colours and all the doodads that they produced to go with it! and the wooden bits are from CTMH's new wooden asst.

I don't know about you, but I've got quite a collection of metal bits that I seldom remember to go into...however today I remembered that I had all these cute doggy type metal bits...so I found them and used them :)

My dogs LOVE to go outside and run around, fetch and chase anything! They also love to get dirty! So taking photos of them all messy was quite easy for the two Yorkies...my wee little Cavalier hasn't yet mastered the messy...give him time!

Love these new wooden shapes by CTMH!! Might need to re-order!

Here's the single pager this week...come on you double-page Divas...give it a try, you might like it ;)
