MCT Designer Challenge ~ hello!

Wow, can you believe that it time for March's Designer Challenge over at My Creative Time!!!

The time is flying by...at least for me it is. Some days I just want it to slow down so I can just enjoy the moment. As I say that I also am looking forward to spring and all that comes with it. :) I find that to be the hard part...looking forward to something yet not missing what right in front of you. Well that's enough of the ramblings going on in my head...lol!

Just like always, for the challenge you can choose to use the photo, the colors, the sketch, or any combination of them.

As you can see I chose to use all three :)

To create the background, I stamped the "grainy wood" then inked the edges. In person it looked a bit dull so I added versamark ink over the whole piece then clear heat embossed it. Wow, what a difference that made!

MCT Scrapping The Little Things ~ You & Me!

Happy Monday! Today is Scrapping The Little Things at My Creative Time. I don't know about you, but I love using a sketch for inspiration. Also when choosing a sketch, don't get thrown off if it's for a card. You can always use it for a layout. Or even the other way around.

I used this sketch for the larger pocket card, except I chose to use stars instead of circles. Remember the sketches are for inspiration, so it doesn't have to be exact.

I thought it would fun to cut the bicycle in half for the two cards. I have left room on both cards for either pictures or journaling. On the second card, I die cut the "&" about 5 times and glued together. Then added glossy accents on top. It's such a cool look in person!

Again on the large card I left space for a picture.
