It's that time of the week again for another sketch challenge from the lovely ladies at the Atlantic Hearts blog. This weeks challenge could lend itself to so many different themes but I have chosen to do a wedding card. You can never go wrong with a bit of bling and classic colours of black, white and red. Now for this weeks sketch.
I've chosen to use up some of last catalogues papers once again with the gorgeous For Always collection.


Materials Used:
For Always paper
For Always assortment
White Daisy blank card
Large Sparkles
Dimensional Element shape
Silver Shimmer Trim
White Daisy and Cranberry cardstock
Black and Cranberry ink
Scallop Punch
Stamps: The Happy Couple, Artbooking Cricut Collection stamp, The Best Things

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge no. 47

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge no. 47
This weeks challenge took a little time for me to interpret. I have moved the ribbon element to the side as for my entry it flowed better. It has been really fun to do these sketches, gets the creativity flowing when your having a blank moment. I encourage anyone and everyone to give them a go.
So here is this weeks sketch.
I have been using up some Chantilly paper, so not a current collection this week. But really pleased at how it worked out.


Materials Used:
Chantilly paper pack
Smoothie Twine
Gold Rush and Cotton Candy Inks
Dimensional Element shape
Pink Glitter Dots
A few various stamp sets.

Easter

Easter Scrapping Lollydoodle Style
Easter is fast approaching so I thought I would share with you my Easter crafts for this year. Using my Cricut and the Artiste cartridge I have already made some Easter Baskets and boxes and filled them with Easter treats. Silly me though, I forgot to take photos before I gave them away. My Scrapbook double page layout and card is a different matter. As soon as I saw Lollydoodle it instantly inspired me to turn it into my Easter theme for the year. Of course you can use it for many other themes, with the number 1 option for me being girl pages. Love it!
So with my Easter workshop coming up (I still have room if you're interested) I've used the theme of random as my inspiration. "Random", I hear you say. "what is that?" We all have random bits and pieces around from our pages and creations, also paper we have cut that didn't end up looking quite right on a page but you've kept it to use later. It's later!

So for now,
Happy Papercrafting.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge no. 45

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge no. 45

Well I know I've been a bit slack this last fortnight and not keeping this blog up to date. I had been very busy this last few weeks preparing for our local Show weekend and wouldn't you know it, it rained. Most of the weekend. I don't think it ever misses.
So lets move onto this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Sketch 45 was a lovely one to work with and fitted perfectly with Ivy Lane, one of my favourite packs as I love the colour combination.
 

I've deliberately left mine without a sentiment as I wanted it to be multi-purpose.
Materials Used:
Ivy Lane Paper Pack
Ivy Lane Compliments
White Daisy Blank Cards
Tombow Tape Runner
Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

Simple yet elegant is how I like to look at it.
If you'd like to enter yourself or check out some of the amazing creations from some talented ladies then head over to www.atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca

I'll have some new creations of my own to share with you very soon.
Happy Papercrafting!
