This week is time for another great sketch over at scrapbook challenge. i love how this sketch is open to interpretation and there are so many options for doing your own thing. i did change things up as usual to suit my style. to truly appreciate the versatility you need to head on over to the site to see what the other girls did with their layouts. as a new twist Brynn (our talented group owner) has added some challenges to the sketch to keep things interesting - this time around it was to use 'chevron' and wood 'veneer' - i got to use one of my all time favourite chevron papers.

here's the original sketch ...

i used some ancient Heidi Swapp words - i am amazed at how classic these still are! and so happy that i got to use these from my stash...

i also got to use these gorgeous rub-ons from a company that no longer exists - sadly! and how funny that i got them as a gift from the original owner of scrapbook challenges Pamela Young and a great inspiration to me!

and finally some techniques and stamping for that unique element.

and everything thrown into a big match to create yet a beautiful memory! i also added some texture using my beautiful Dina Wakeley stamp in a soft green chalk ink pad. just enough to add some interest on my background. thanks for stopping by and here's wishing you another wonderful and creative week.
