A new month, a brand new challenge site - S.W.A.T.

Well Happy New Year to you all.. a new month means new challenges in the scrappy bloggy world and i am so happy to be a part of a brand new site Sketches with a Twist... and the first sketch has gone up on the site....
http://sketcheswithatwist.blogspot.com/2011/12/january-sketch-2012.html


this is a gorgeous sketch which i found was perfect for a bunch of photos i took which didn't turn out perfectly, but look fabulous as a wallet size print..

I rotated the sketch anti clockwise once to suit the landscape photos but pretty much stuck to the sketch.


As many of you may know i love horses, but i had to say goodbye to my last one as she had old age problems, so imagine my delight when a friend of my neice was looking for a paddock for her horse.. So now we have a beautiful horse in our paddock to pat and give carrots to..  The day he came I took lots of photos and i was able to use 6 of them on this layout!! must be a first for me to use so many.!!... the chipboard fence is a scrapmatts one... the twist in the challenge is to use a two font title and i have used two different types of letter stickers...

I hope you can join in this new challenge site. Pop on over and have a look at the other Design Team layouts and i look forward to seeing what you come up with.....

and i hope your New Year is off to a wonderful start!!

thanks for coming by!!

  2. Such a beautiful layout! I love your double twist (the two fonts, and actual twist of the sketch) on the Sketch. The muted colours, fence embellishment and hesion are perfect to add an outdoorsy feel to match your photos.
