 What a great way to mark the occasion of our 50th Sketch here at Sketches: Creatively Yours!

Thanks Ann, Cathy and Debbie for your fun, eye catching layouts!

~AN ANNOUNCEMENT~ 

To allow for the restorative time that creative energy always seems to need a WEE BIT of, S:CY will be taking a 6 month break in publication of the Blog.

Ann and I will be back in April 2011 to share more sketches and Design Team creations, both card and layout- with you all. 

Be sure to "stay tuned" because there will be a DT Call in March, 2011, just before we reopen. We like a big Team here at S:CY, so please DO apply! I will have the call placed here, in addition to Pub Calls. You will also see it elsewhere, likely on the Savvy n Sassy and Sisterhood of Scrap Forums. 

A special word to our current Design Team: you made it so easy to "lead" well. Thank you all.

Ann, couldn't do it without YOU! Thanks my friend!

Thanks Everyone! See you in March/ April 2011!

Bye for now, from Ali and Ann

Sketch #48-10

Hello Everyone!

Today I have a very special sketch for you all!

I wanted to create a layout design that I could use to stash some of the neat school mementos, like little Math quizzes that my son Daniel (age 10) brought home from school in Grade 4. (He has just started Grade 5.)

I kind of felt that something simple would be best.... and I wanted to include a paperclip, just for fun!

Well, I came up with the sketch below. Hope you will try it!

Sketch #47-10

WOW... it's September already! I have great news! 

A new month means that a brand new Guest Designer is joining us here @ Sketches: Creatively Yours!

It is a great pleasure to introduce you to Lisa Imthorn, a Canadian gal who creates amazingly beautiful layouts and cards. Lisa is a talented member of the Copic Design Team at Savvy n Sassy, with a great work ethic and skill as a teacher and motivator.
Lisa's blog link is: http://mycozycraftycorner.blogspot.com/


I asked Lisa to tell us a little bit about herself!

September 2010 Guest Designer~ Lisa Imthorn

Lisa's Bio~

Hello there!

My name is Lisa and I am a WAHM (medical transcription) from Salmon Arm, British Columbia. I started scrapbooking about 8 years ago and have recently fallen in love with card making using my Copic markers.

My favorite company has to be Basic Grey as I seem to purchase every line they make and I am also fond of any type of embellishment – especially those blingy pieces!

I was thrilled when Ali asked me to be the Guest DT for September.
I recently took a vacation to beautiful Hornby Island and the pictures I took while there will be the subject of my layouts this month.

I am honored to be a part of this amazing team for the month of September and hope you will find some creative inspiration in my submissions.

Thanks to Ali, Ann and everyone at S:CY!!!

Here are a couple of Lisa's favourite creations for you to enjoy!! Aren't they great? Love those bright colours- so much fun!

"Li'l Flyboy"

Layout created by S:CY Designer Sherry Owens

 Sherry writes: "We took a trip to a local park, they have some cute pedal cars that have been retrofitted to carousel devices, airplanes suspended and "flown" in a circular pattern and cars that are dragged along like a slow circle-track race. I don't think J. knew exactly what to think but I think he had fun overall. I just love how he looks "all boy" here. These pix are from a year ago, and I was finally inspired by these sketches and this fantastic Little Yellow Bicycle - Zach's Life product to get them scrapped."


Thanks for stopping by S:CY everyone!


Thanks to Sherry, Ann, Debbie, Cathy and Terri-Ann for these beautiful interpretations! I feel like SUCH a proud Mama!
