Stuck Sketches July 15th sketch + DT call

Hello everyone,

I am sharing with you'll my last layout for Stuck Sketches July 15th sketch...unfortunately I have to finish my term with Stuck?! a month before finishing my term in august because of family emergency situation...I will be away for a while from my scrappy world..yeah that's very sad for me!! you have to take certain decisions for family...hey but I will not be away for long may be I would keep posting in between on my blog to participate in challenges while I am away...scrapbooking is something that keeps me going and this is one craft I am definitely NOT partying with it anytime in my whole life...

I would definitely want to thank one person that is Sara because she invited me to join Stuck?! when I had just started..a newbie...and Stuck?! sketches would always be close to my heart since that was the very first design team I worked in with so many talented designers in the creative team...I want to thank them all for their love and support...I will miss them all....

So here's the awesome July 15th sketch...


And here's my take...



The photo is of my baby boy when he was some 2 years old and I could just think of Amy tangerine 'sketchbook' papers for creating this fun bright layout..


Stuck?! Sketches is also holding a Spring/Summer Creative Team Call...the requirements are as below:-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applications are to be emailed to stucksketches@optusnet.com.au. Please put STUCK?! CREATIVE TEAM APPLICATION in the subject line. Please do not attach images of your layouts, just a link to your blog, as layouts will cause my inbox to clog very quickly.

All emails must be received by midnight on Sunday August 4th (AEST). The Creative Team will be contacted by Wednesday August 7th and will be announced later in August. 

Expectations:

* Your term will run from the September 2013 to February 2014 sketches. You will receive your first sketches during the month of August 2013 and your final sketches during the month of January 2014.

Stuck Sketches July 1st

Hello..

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend...same goes here...we were just strolling around Exchange place and Newport here at New Jersey (we usually go there once a week) and I took some awesome pictures of New York skyline to put on my blog...I will be posting that pretty soon but before that I would like to share a layout I did for Stuck Sketches July 1st sketch...

Here's the sketch:


And here's my take on the lovely sketch....isn't the sketch amazing?? I just loveedd it..



I started off with plain white cardstock...used some gel mediums..gesso...then began stamping with a background stamp...then added some mists and ink...and then stamped again...I loved how the background turned out...

I finished it off with Amy tangerine 'sketchbook' papers and doodle bug alphas...lots of fussy cutting...the butterflies are free printables from Swirlydoos....


Hop over to the Stuck Sketches blog for some more fabulous Fab inspiration from other DT members!!.....

Will be back with some more things to share....till then happy scrapping!!

Fena xoxo
