Couple of new sketches

I am back after having a lovely holiday cruising around the Hawaiian islands. Feeling relaxed and refreshed ready for the year ahead.

While l was away Lets get Sketchy had some new sketches to play along with and here are the two l played along with.
The first one was from December week 4

The papers and stickers are Echo Park, brads and buttons from My Minds Eye

I have added white circles with paste to the background and some green circles with ink (look a bit blue but are really green!)

 

 

 

 

Here is the sketch

 

The next layout is from January week 2, and l'm really happy with my paper choice for this picture of my sisters little boy

 

I have used materials from the October kit from My Creative Scrapbook. I have been getting these kits for a few years now and you get to make quite a number of layouts with all the goodies. Papers are from Carta Bella, Jillibean Soup and
Echo Park. The flowers are Prima and the wooden nickels from Jillibean Soup. The twine l had lying around. Here are some close ups

 

 

This is the sketch l used

 

There is still time to play along with January's sketch to be in the running for some awesome prizes, see it here
