Let's Scrap - Sketch 6-30-10

What a beautiful sketch! Loved working on it, and loved using the new fabrics I've just received. I couldn't make the bubbles in the photo loook as delicate as they do on the layout itself, though.... :(

Here's a close-up of the bubbles, I insist they look much better in real life!

And this is a detail of the border, I punched holes and made cuts in it to give it the appearence of paper torn from a notebook, as in the sketch. I like the final result.

And, in case you haven't guessed already, the title means BUBBLES! :)

Mission Completion!!!

"What was the mission?" you may ask. Taking pictures of my daughter playing with her Little Einteins toys. It took longer than I expected for her to forget I was trying to do it and start playing naturally, but I think we managed to do it in the end. These were her playmates:

This is something I've been meaning to scrap for a long time, as she loves these toys, but I never got to take the pictures. Now, I finally got to do it for Practical Scrappers' challenge for the week after next... what will it be? Can you guess? Hard to guess from the picture, it could be anything! Just keep visiting Practical Scrappers and you'll soon find out! 

Flowers, flowers, and more flowers at Practical Scrappers

The challenge at Practical Scrappers this week was to use flowers, and I decided to get rid of some flowers I have had in my stash for a long time and have not used yet. I added some new ones, too, just because I couldn't resist the temptation to use them! I couldn't put them all together in a layout, as they were too different, so instead I used them to embellish altered clips/photo holders.

And I couldn't stop there, I had to alter the whole pack of clips, so I used robots, monsters and butterflies as well:

I sold them at the crafts fair and not only did they sell very quickly, they also caught people's eye and made them stop at the stand, so then they looked at other things like cards and minialbums. A very good result!

Crazy about notebooks!

I've only just discovered notebooks are a very easy way to work on a sketch, plus, they look absolutely yummy. I made this one for Let's Scrap's sketch 6-16-10:

And this one for Practical Scrappers' June 11 sketch:

I love the way they look, and I think they's make great presents, so I will probably work on a new notebook next time I have a present to give. No better present than spending time making a gift for someone you love!
