Sketch Fun . . .

 Happy Friday Friends!

This week I've been taking a break from my DT responsibilities and joining in on a few other fun challenges out there in Blogland.  Today I've decided to play along in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #664 and here's a peek at their sketch that caught my attention.

 

 What a fun sketch and it could be interpreted in several ways.

I took the sketch quite literally and here's what I came up with . . .

 My patterned paper panel comes from the Brutus Monroe 'FALL INTOseasons' paper pad.  I used one of my OLD Creative Memories circles to draw out the half circle and cut it with scissors.  I matted it with a back ground of coordinating blue card stock, THEN got the bright idea to emboss it.  I already had the patterned paper attached so embossed the entire panel using an older Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I used a old Sue Wilson 'Grand Vinery' (CED-1419) and my birthday sentiment is from Creative Expressions 'Wordies - Birthday'.  A few Nuvo white & blue crystals drops finished off my design.

 A couple other challenges to share in:

 If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #212 - January - Cabin in Winter 
(I was inspired by the colors) [1/31]

 

 Make My Monday #269 - Use Paper with Pattern (1/26)
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Emboss It (1/21)

 What fun!  I have always enjoyed starting a creation using a sketch and lately I haven't done that much ... time for a change.  You'll be seeing me joining in on more sketch challenges offered!  Sounds like I have a new years resolution and didn't even know it!  LOL

Anyway ... thanks so much for stopping by today!  

Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend planned ahead!  Pretty quiet here in COLD OHIO ... just going to hide out in the crafting cave I think!  

 As always . . .
