Sketchbook: Sketch #7

As I've mentioned before, I've been taking Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook class at Studio Calico

and, my goal was to keep up with the class and hopefully complete it in May.

Well, Sketch 7 was posted on Tuesday and, since I had the day off yesterday,

I was able to make a layout & a card with it.

I know I probably won't get Sketch 8 done before the end of the month

(we're off in Winnipeg today volunteering at a taekwondo tournament 

and tomorrow, our local theatre is having a Jurassic Park marathon), 

but I'm still pretty pleased with staying as caught up as I have!

I'm not allowed to post the sketch here on my blog,

but here are my projects that I made it.

Here's the layout:

It's not the best quality photo, but I love it! 

I stuck pretty closely to the sketch on this one.

The background cardstock is Bazzill Basics Classic Smooth White.

The aqua woodgrain patterned paper is American Crafts and I created

the music note patterned paper by stamping a Clearly Besotted stamp

over some Echo Park cardstock.

I added a Crate Paper tag and layered a Crate Paper chipboard frame over top.

I stamped the "bon voyage" from Papertrey Ink's Get Lost stamp set.

Here's a close-up of my journaling:

And here's the super quick card that I made using 

all pre-made embellishments & no stamping or diecutting! 

(I know! I'm pretty shocked, too!)

I reversed where the photo & sentiment were placed on the sketch,

but I'm really pleased with how it turned out!

I used a Crate Paper tag that I switched the tie it came

with for some button twine.

The flowers are all Heidi Swapp.

Thanks for looking!
