The Scrapbook Store, Feeling Sketchy #113 & Cardabilities #115

A very good day to you! Really lovely of you to drop by!

I have done a bit of creating in this hot weather, sure beats house work!! So I had better share it here!

The sketch for THE SCRAPBOOK STORE this month is another great sketch which I have used like this..
 I have used some really old Bo Bunny papers that I found while looking for something to use.. really bright and now they fit in the category of "what was I thinking when I bought them and how do I use them up" !! hehe.. so I gessoed the back page because it was one of those green shades that just dont fit in my usual color scheme and then I piled on lots of MM and then I fussy cut lots of flowers from another page..  I also have chipboard that has been lying dormant in my drawer, so out came some Scrapmatts chippies and I used them as well..

So some closer views of the fussy cutting and layering up with cardboard..





And my layout..

Smile..

And yes embrace the warp from all the mixed media on the back ground.. !! will look ok once it is in the album...

And while I had those papers out and wanting to use them up I decided to make some cards.. So I looked for some card sketches and created a card for FEELING SKETCHY #113 which looks like..

and my card...


and also for CARDABILITIES #114  and the sketch..

and my card...


I hope your day is going well and thanks so much for your comments too!!

    I love those bold, bright flowers on your projects....& the way you've 'worked' that bg is fabulous!!! The brickwork is really nice! The frame around Nisha's face with those daisies is sooo pretty! And yup! Scrapping is much better than work in this hot weather - although we've had a couple of days break from it, thank goodness. It's draining!!
