Love - Sketchbook2 Day 2

Hello!

I have a layout for you today that I made based on the Day 2 sketch for Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook 2 class.  My grandmother passed away last weekend (not unexpectedly...she had been battling with cancer for the past few months), and I made this as my part of her memorial items at the visitation.  She was an amazing woman, who was a major part of my upbringing.  Incredibly strong (physically, and emotionally), she grew up playing competitive hockey, baseball and basketball, became a nurse, and then served as an army lieutenant in WWII.  She lived an amazing life, and would have been 90 this November!  I used a photograph of her and myself on my wedding day, and another of her and my grandfather on their wedding day.  I REALLY love how it turned out!!!!

Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

Kitty Corner - Sketchbook2 Day 1

Hello!

I am participating in Kelly Purkey's 'Sketchbook 2' workshop (although I am quite behind due to a very busy past week).  Today I have a layout made using the Day One Sketch.  This is a picture my husband took of a kitty when we were visiting friends at their cottage.  I do not like this cat...he was quite unfriendly, however I do love the picture...hahahaha.

Most of the materials used to make this layout were from the Adirondack Add-On kit this month at Studio Calico, with the exception of some PTI cardstock (Simply Chartreuse), PTI stamps (Fancy Flourishes, Damask Designs), PTI Ink (Pure Poppy), SU! Ink (Crumb Cake), Ranger Distress Ink (Antique Linen), and PTI Buttons. 

I did a lot of distressing to the papers edges by sliding the edge of a pair of scissors along the paper.  I also used the Distress Ink on the main background page, and the journalling card.  I also crinkled up some of the smaller paper pieces with my hands to give them a more aged look.  I really like how this page turned out!

Hope you enjoy it!
