March BIG Savvy Sketch

Another fabulous sketch over at the Scrapbook Savvy Blog this month.

This month's sketch has been based on a gorgeous page found in our gallery created by KateMc.

Chloe put this sketch together



It's a long weekend here in Adelaide and yesterday I finally managed to pull out the latest He's Savvy kit designed by Chloe sent to me by the very generous Sarah.
I've used 2 portrait photos instead of one landscape, but still stuck to the sketch. Our boy and his great-niece having fun together.

Ready to go



Please remember to create a new layout just for this challenge to be eligible for the awesome $40 Savvy voucher plus free post and load it to the correct gallery by Midnight 31st March.

WOW February New Releases - Part One

There was a very cool summer theme to the February New Releases over at WOW and I had a ball creating some pages with a few different pieces. There are always plenty of summer photos to scrap.

My first page features a new chipboard title Lazy Summer Days and it's been cut in another gorgeous font. Plus you will see a few chipboard Splats thrown in for a good water effect!

Lazy Summer Days

The chipboard has been covered with layers of different coloured inks that have been blended together to create a graduated colour change. The finish is a thick coat of Dimensional Magic.





Here is my crazy boy 'rippin it up' on his water slide, that sadly only lasted a few days.



Page number two is a simple page featuring the chipboard Dolphin from the Sea Animal Pack, the dark wood veneer dolphin from the WV Sea Animal Pack and the wood veneer title Relax.

I have kept the wood veneer pieces in their natural state. The title 'Relax" has been highlighted using some faux stitching created with a black gel pen



The dolphins have been roughly covered with charcoal ink and white pen, love the finish on them.



Relax {maiden voyage}



Stay tuned over the next few days and I will have more to share with you. Thanks for dropping in.
