Sunday Sketch and Guest Designers

Check out what the awesome guest designers did with this crazy sketch... Every single one of their interpretations are totally different and totally awesome. This sketch is also eligible for my November Sketch Challenge - the last one in fact.

Marisol Valencia is our featured designer this week. She has shared some wonderful work before and this week is no exception. Here is a little bit about her, "I’m Marisol and I live in Santander –Spain- with my three kids and my DH, though I’m from the most beautiful city in Spain: Salamanca. I started scrapbooking about 4 years ago when I bought the book The Complete Book of Scrapbooking. A new world opened in front of me and since then I can't stop scrapbooking. I’m completely hooked, I love it!!. I usually make pages but I love to create minialbums too. Some of my favorite things to do are mixing a lot of papers in my pages, using different inks and scattering my pages with flowers. I like to scrap at midday, with natural light, I choose my papers and supplies better this way."

This is what Marisol had to say about working with the sketch this week, "First, I want to say how much I love Liz’s sketches: I create my pages with them easily. I was excited when I saw this sketch and I knew that I would follow it closely. I just fell in love with all the different elements. I just turned the stars into a pair of flowers, of course!; I adore flowers even in masculine pages. I have been using big photos on my pages lately, but when I saw 3 little photos on Liz’sketch, I immediately knew which photos I had to use: My son Ángel avoids the camera but I don’t mind, I always take photos of him, though he doesn't want me to. I have dedicated this page to him. I hope that his hatred for photos will disappear soon."

Heather Robertson is back again this week with another stunning design. Her style is so fresh and fun. Here is what she had to say about working with the sketch, "I love how Liz's sketches always inspire me to be a little whimsical. I love all the shapes and space because it really gives a lot of room for interpretation." Thanks Heather for another wonderful project.

Diana Gonzalez is also back for another week and had this to say about her fun layout, "I can't tell you how much fun it was to do all the sketches. Thank you for giving me this great opportunity, your LO's are gorgeous and your sketches are too." Thank you Diana. Your work really showcases how versatile the sketch is.

A Little Turkey Hop w/ Imaginisce

I thought it would be fun to add these two silhouettes of Mr. and Mrs. Pilgrim to my cards. Aren't they a darling couple? And don't they look swell dressed up in Imaginisce's Apple Cider collection? These were very easy to make with some kraft paper, Apple Cider and my Cricut.

I can't do anything without my i-rock. The little gem accents add just the right amount of interest to frame the silhouette. I also fussy cut some leaves from one of the Apple Cider papers to add a little accent and then inked everything to soften the lines.

Hopefully you have figured out which one of us is not like the others, but I will give you a hint. When you head back to the Imaginisce blog - look at the title of the post and it will give you a big clue as to which one of us did not use the Thanksgiving Cricut cartridge. Good luck with winning that AWESOME Gypsy.

Sunday Sketch and Guest Designers

It's time for another sketch and some wonderful work from the guest designers. I have posted the November Sketch Challenge below, so let the linking begin. As always, cannot wait to see all the beautiful work you all do :)

Celine Michels is the featured designer this week and she did a fabulous job with the sketch. Here is a little bit about her, "I live with my husband and my two little girls in Alsace, France. I started scrapbooking in 2006. I like most like to make pages and I also like to use inks and stamps to personalize them and my mini-books. I've taught some scrapbooking classes in my hometown for 3 years and it makes me very happy to share my passion!"

This is what Celine said about working with the sketch this week, "I followed the sketch quite closely as I had an opportunity to use this beautiful die-cut from Bo Bunny. I usually have some difficulty in using such big die-cuts. I also used some stamps on the bottom and introduced some velvet (ribbon, brad) to create a warm and cozy atmosphere."

Marisol Valencia joins us again this week with her stunning version of the sketch and she happened to use one of my very favorite collections from Little Yellow Bicycle. This is what she had to say about working with the sketch, "When Liz sent me this sketch, my mind began to run; I had to choose only one photo and it was very difficult for me, but when I stumbled across this photo of my son David, I knew it would be perfect for the sketch and immediately remembered these "Little Yellow Bicycle" papers that combined perfectly with that photo. I tried not to change the sketch too much. I just switched the butterfly with a pair of arrows and die-cuts instead, and I changed title and journaling of the site. I like the result, I hope you do too."
