July Sketch Challenge for Quick Quotes

Happy Friday!!! I'm excited today to host the Friday Challenge for July over at the Quick Quotes blog!

We are sharing some inspiration with a sketch from our friends at Sketchabilities for our challenge.

I used pieces from our July Club Q and created a sports themed page:

"This Happened"

The July Club Q features an all new collection which fun vibrant patriotic colors. The kits worked perfectly with the colors of our new baseball photos of the boys. I used pieces from the kits along with a few other random things to create my project. As you can see, I stayed very close to the sketch.

I used some glass beads and a heart stencil to place some subtle texture to the page along with Colorburst. Additional splatters of mist are added randomly. The top of the page you'll see more stamping with PowderPuff Chalk Inks in Midnight Confessions, Bloody Mary and Blue Jeans as well as a bit of washi tape and a button collage.

Color Challenge with Pretty Little Studio!

Happy 2014 to you and yours!

For today's Pretty Little Studio project I had a lot of fun selecting mint colors across a variety of our collections including Neapolitan, Nature Walk, Birthday Cake and Sand Castle.

Here is the color challenge image:

The design is inspired by the current Sketchabilities #106 sketch.

 

My project inspired by both...

 

My photo here is from the 4th of July and I thought the colors were a fun compliment to the mint color scheme.  The addition of a few sequins emulates the spark of fireworks.

 

Don't you just love that little boy flying the kite?  It's called Austin and you can find it here.  While you're there, be sure to check out all of the yummy things in the store!!!

Wishing you and yours all the very best in 2014!
