it's time for another sketch challenge over at scrap Africa - we got to work with another great sketch. i stuck to a single page this time around as sometimes you just need those for the front page of an album now don't you. the girls outdid themselves this week and there are some lovely sample pages with loads of creativity. so head on over to the blog and come play along...

i used this gorgeous new stamp from Prima - love the wording and it really is so versatile!

i used my much loved collection of washi tapes and some scraps of paper from my desk - i love my 'messy' desk as that is the place i find most of my treasures. the stencil i used with my texture paste is also from Prima and a beautiful design. i lightly inked some of the paste using my applicator tool with some Walnut ink distress ink on it - i didn't re-ink but just used what was on the sponge.

my usual sprinkle of buttons, pearls and diamante add some colour on the background. so head on over to see the original sketch and what the design team came up with - then play along and you could win some awesome goodies and be a guest designer. 

i have a hectic week and after this one not feeling quite myself - i am once again cleaning and moving stuff around, organizing, purging and getting organized for another hectic week. but really all i want to do is paint the wall in our bedroom that got some fixing done to it with grey plaster - if only i had more time and energy...i think you know you are getting old when getting up on a ladder and painting just isn't fun like it used to be. maybe an incentive is needed....

hope you are having a creative week planned! thanks for stopping by and hanging around so faithfully!
