Sketch Challenge

I love this sketch from Heather Leopard

I used it to create two layouts!!

SYAO2

This week's layout for SYAO2 is based on this sketch

I chose to do a more simplistic layout to showcase this photo I took in my sister's garden.

I have lace, bling, a doily and a journaling tag. I misted in the top left corner.

Inspired by Sweethaven Homecoming

I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the Sweethaven Series. It has not yet arrived at the Christian bookstore where I work and I hope it won't be too long before we get it.

Courtney Walsh issued a challenge to create a project inspired by the Sweethaven books. I chose to do a mixed media canvas. We have a cottage on a small lake in Northern Michigan and there is nothing more peaceful than just resting, relaxing, regrouping by the water.

I used tissue paper on the canvas to give it dimension and also used joint tape and spackle to create the setting sun. I painted with acrylic and water colors and also added some rubons, and stamping.

Here are a couple of close ups

The quote from john Conrad reads" The true peace of God begins at any point a thousand miles from the nearest land. When I sit at the lake, I can look past the boats and jet skis and find this peace.

Woof

Bandit is our 11 1/2 year old Golden. now that the kids are gone most of the time, he is my favorite subject to photograph!

For SYAO2 at Paper Secrets I used twine, staples, chipboard, tags and I punched.

Reaching New Heights

I did this layout for this weeks' SYAO at Paper Secrets

Jen brought her PhD gown home with her on vacation. I wanted to do a photo shoot so we headed to the playground at the nearby  school. She tackled the climbing wall:)

I have chipboard, buttons, pattern paper and banners/pennants. I misted!
