SKETCHtober Fest Round 3!

Are you inspired yet?  Ready for round three?

This one is from me:

One of my favorite ways to accent a card or page is to stitch it. This sketch has some stitching, but you could just as easily doodle, or create a mat for the space.

The Sketch: (you're using the blue one for this project, but there's a little sneaky of the LO sketch coming up tomorrow)


The Card:


And since card sketches are not just for cards, here's a layout using the same sketch:

Amanda uploaded a bunch of beautiful wedding layouts this week, but we loved this one. The classic colors and elegant design make these wedding photos stand out.

Crazy for Bats

Did you notice the little bats on this layout?

Here is a closeup:

 These bats are actually made by altering a butterfly punch. This idea first came from the Pink Paislee blog but it is really simple. I used the small Martha Stewart butterfly punch, but really I think any butterfly punch would work. Trim off the bottom wing from the bottom of the body at an angle.

It isn't exactly bat shaped, but pretty darn close. Try this on your next Halloween project!

October Elite Kit

How about some Design Team creations to inspire you and get the creativity flowing for the coming week? These projects were all created using the beautiful October Elite Kit.
