I hope everyone had a wonderful time on the Wags 'n Whiskers blog hop yesterday!! It runs through Sunday, so you still have a chance to win some stamps by commenting on each of the blogs along the hop. I have used another new release stamp today.
It's time for another Scrap and Stamp Saturday Challenge. This week's challenge is a Sketch (by me)!! This is my first time creating a sketch! I first created this layout and liked it so I turned it into a sketch...
This week we have Lauretta's Digital Stamps sponsoring us! Please be sure to stop by Lauretta's to see all of her fun digi images! One lucky person will receive 3 digis of their choice!
He's my layout...
I created a double layout, but the left side follows the sketch...
The flag was created by adding a "banner" shape to a Word document. I increased the size to make it into a flag shape then printed it on white CS. The I enlarged it a little and printed it onto red CS. I stamped a stripe background stamp (sorry, I don't remember where I purchased it from since it was ages ago). Yes, I guess I should have made the stripes red, but I wanted to add more blue to the layout. Last I added some red ric rac from my stash for a pole and some Thickers glitter chipboard letters.
The image is Summer Fun from the Wags 'n Whiskers Fun in the Sun release....
The stamp was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os. This image was designed after my daughter Ansley and illustrated by Cris de Lara.
I have a ton of pictures from our first trip to Daytona Beach, FL so I added some of the beach photos in a collage using some of the same elements but no stamping on this side...
In case you were wondering, in the top right photo (under the title), Ansley is holding up a shell filled with some sort of watersnail. They were all over! They would wash up with a wave and as soon as the water receded back into the ocean, they would burrow themselves into the sand. Over and over they would do this with each wave. In the center picture, Ryan is trying to dig one out that burrowed in the sand. In the bottom left photo, Ryan is holding a shell to a mini crab (just the shell, not crab was in it). And in the top center picture, Ryan is pretending to be an airplane and is flying with the seagulls.
I still have a ton of pictures from this trip. Scott had to work for the Coke Zero Race at the Daytona Speedway (obviously Coca-Cola is a sponor of that race), so we didn't see much of him that weekend. But he was staying on the beach at the Plaza Resort so he just HAD to tag along!!
Here are more layouts from this trip: here, here, and here.
Ok, now it's your turn...let's see what you do with my sketch!!
Make sure to check out the awesome Design Team. We have a few new members so make sure to check out their layouts as well!
I will be back tomorrow with my High Hopes Challenge!
