Sketches In Thyme - October Week 2 Sketch #296


Here's Sketch #296 from Sketches In Thyme:


Sketches can be as versatile as you make them to be! For this particular sketch, I decided to feature 2 photos (rather than just 1).

The palm tree on this page was created using this "old school" template. I have a decent collection of templates (mostly alphabets) but also shapes and themes like this one.


 


Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!


Let's Get Sketchy - October 1st Sketch Challenge

Hello! Today I'm sharing a 2 page fall themed layout featuring recent photos taken at our favorite local corn maze. The right-hand page of the layout was inspired by the October 1st Sketch Challenge from Let's Get Sketchy!


A friend recently cleared some things from her stash including this CUTE scarecrow she acquired a number of years ago. I was thrilled to give him a home on this page! 

Here is the left-hand page followed by the right-hand page.
 I LOVE letter stickers. In this case, I used some "thickers" that my friend also cleared from her stash. There were still plenty of letters left, but I was "short" one letter "R" and had to improvise a little bit. If you look closely, the "r" in "farm" was created by modifying an "n." Be honest, would you have even noticed if I didn't point it out?


Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!

Stuck?! Sketches - October 1st Sketch Challenge


Today's post features a page created for the October 1st Sketch Challenge from Stuck?! Sketches:

I'm a BIG FAN of paper scraps, paper punches and washi tape! 
I used all of them on this page to help with the embellishments. 



"It's Five O'clock Somewhere" is a phrase we often say in our family. 
So, when a friend gave me this postcard, I knew I wanted to use it on a page! 



Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!
