Adieu Sketchabilities!

Happy hellos,

today is my last post for Sketchabilities for me as a design member. The term May-July is over, can you believe it? I am so thankful Karan Gerber, the owner of Sketchabilities for this opportunity. It lifted my spirits and my mojo!

Please take a look at my layout, inspired by Finnabair, who I have met lately in person here in Alberta. I am hooked on mix media, that's for sure!

The sketch from Sketchabilities was perfect again ! I can work with them so smoothly... it just flows.... never got stuck! I even recommended the blog to my friend who is brand new in the scrapbooking world. I am sure, we will see her work at the Sketchabilities challenge blog pretty soon!

On the picture is my son with a robotics at my work. One of our academics is specializing in robotics and I asked him, if my son can visit the robot. He agreed and Jakob could meet Optimus Prime (he called him after the Transformer). His eyes were glowing and were full of fascination. I love to see my kid like that! I made the layout on canvas, so we can hang this in his room.

Thanks for your visit,

Double challenge: Once upon the...sketch & Scrap around the world

Hello fellow scrapbookers and other nice people,

before  I sit down and start my Xmas cards marathon (already paid for a  table at the local XMas market, I want to play some challenges, that cause the itchiness of my crafty/inky fingers.

I combined two challenges: Once Upon the.... Sketch and Scrap Around the World:

At the Once Upon the Sketch challenge we are supposed to use numbers: I chose "two sweet years" and the journaling is in the right corner between the line of the journaling from the Webster Pages design paper. Mu message to Lisa: "You are perfect just as you are, never forget to love yourself."

At the Scrap Around the World I was inspired by the colors, which matches the ice cream cone of my girl and turquious is anyway MY color right now. Also the Webster pages are just perfect to Victorian (?) style of the lamp and drawers on the first picture on the mood board. My interpretation of the words on the mood  board is: "love yourself" as a message to my daughter.

Thanks for your visit, see you soon!

Winter in July-Sketchabilities no.119

Happy summer hellos,

this time a layout for you with a winter picture, despite almost 30 degrees Celsius here in Alberta. I used a chipboard from Creative Embellishments around my picture, which I love to work with. I used a lot of glitter, which is out of my comfort zone. But I thought about the temperature on the day, the picture was taken, it was juicy minus 30 degrees. The snow was very shiny  on this day in the winter sun.
"Dream".....the figure ice skating was always my dream.....

The beautiful sketch no 119 from Sketchabilities, that is versatile to interpret...Just try it!

Skechtabilities #118: Born to build

Happy hellos,

This layout is prepared for the sketch reveal #118 for Sketchabilities with a fabulous chipboard from generous Creative Embellishments: steampunk hot air baloon. It's a big element, but so much fun to work with.

To be honest: when I started to make this layout, I made a mistake: I touched with inky finger the picture of my son and there was an ugly stain.... What to do? I decided to cut out his shape of his body and work with this...and I am very pleased with the end-effect. I never did it before and I liked it! So maybe in the future I will use this technique again!

Followed the sketch #118:

I really hope, you are tempted to play with Sketchabilities!  Our team would love to see your take on the sketch!

You and me-Sketchabilities no 116.

Hello bloggers,

today I am coming with another great sketch from Sketchabilities no.116. I went big this time, which means: I never scrapbooked such big picture before. But there is always the first time, right? I hope, you will get itchy fingers and play along with us!
Don't forget to see the interpretation of other design members, who just rocked this challenge!

This picture was taken when my son Jakob saw the first time his little sister Lisa. I can see in his eyes the pride and joy and on her face a smile, although she was few hours old.
