LET’S SCRAP SKETCH 10-5-11

Oh my word, can you believe it, not only is it Wednesday again, but it is also the first Wednesday of October. That means two things:

Over at Let's Scrap it is time for a new sketch, and
Can you believe it, here in South Africa, people have started putting up Christmas decorations... I cannot believe it, is it not a bit too early??????????

Oh well, let's get back to business.................

This week there is another stunning sketch designed and posted by Cheri. Here it is:

As you can see it is another stunning sketch and so versatile!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my take on the sketch this week:

The pictures I used in this layout was taken at the recent Cannonball Run Africa, held during the first weeken of August. As you can see, I decided to swop the LHS and RHS of the layout. This was due to the pictures I chose, they did not loook right the other way, so I did some chopping and changing. That is the best part of sketches, especially these sketches, you can rotate them anyway you want, until they fit your pictures.

I used a very old range I had from Kaisercraft for this layout. The embellishments were also a bit of this and a bit of that. I had no embellishments from this specific Kaisercraft range, so I scratched through my stash to find some that will work. Here are some close-up pictures of the embellishments I used.

The clock is a Kaisercraft rub-on that I placed on a piece of paper and then cut it out, around the edges. The pocket is also from one of the Kaisercraft ranges I have in my stash.

The brads are from Making Memories, and the rub-ons from BoBunny.

The last thing that needed to be decided was of course the title...........................

For the title I used acrylic alphabets from BoBunny. I used some dry-brushing with blue paint from Making Memories, and then once that was dry, I inked it with brown ink.

So that is my layout for this week. Now for some prizes if you enter this week's sketch challenge over at Let's Scrap.
