Cutie Pie

Well I finished another lo. Two in one day is good for me, but with this one I used the sketch from the Pages in Time Kit of the Month group. I always find my production is sped up when I use sketches. Admittedly I only used papers from the kit. I am not good at using only what is given me. Guess I am a rebel! LOL!

Pages in Time DT Challenge LO

I finally have a lo to show you. It didn't come out like I had envisioned, but they seldom do. The design team had to create a lo using the new design team logo. I used the new Tim Holtz papers that I purchased from Karen's store. I love this paper pack! The big pointed scallop is a svg file I downloaded from  Penny Duncan Creations. She has the best files I have seen! I also used my cricut carts. The half circles were cut with George and Basic Shapes. The flourishes are from Home Decor with a little help from DS. The flowers are prima of course, except the very bottom one, which I made. Future tutorial coming for that, so stay tuned here or at PIT. I decided to try and make a pearl flower, and it came out alright ,but I will have to figure out a way to improve it. Thanks for stopping by!

Guess who's doing sketches for Pages in Time?

Robin Shakoor!!!!!! We were looking for a sketch artist to help us with sketches for our monthly kit club/group as well as someone to help with the weekly Thursday sketch that we have over at Pages In Time.



You may have seen some of Robin's page lay-outs and cards and I'll bet that your response was the same as mine...her work just knocks my socks off!!!!! I could spend hours, uh, ummm.... a really long time just pouring over her work. Here is a link to her blog http://www.robinshakoor.blogspot.com You really need to head over and check out how very talented she is.



So, if you haven't hopped over to Pages In Time to check it out, you should!!!! All of us are so excited to be working with her and her sketches. Welcome Robin!!!!!!

I used some old Basic Grey papers for this layout. It is the Hang 10 collection. Boy pages are always a struggle with me. I do prefer to play with flowers, but I know I need to get used to doing them. The stitching is all by hand using a black gelly roll pen. I used border punches again and used the leftover strips underneath the picture. No waste. The stars and circles were cut with my cricut expression.
