Just One Sketch- Prompt 5

Still trying to catch up with MISS SMITH'S prompts from her ongoing class, JUST ONE SKETCH. The fifth prompt called for us to consider the colours and combinations we tend to turn to when scrapping, and then go for the opposite effect.


I don't really have a favourite colour scheme, but usually use quite colourful papers and embellishments. ...so I went for  mainly cream/off white papers with just a few pops of colour for this LO. Honestly. the papers are not at a slant...it's bad photography!

I'm really enjoying this class (even if I am well behind with the prompts) and seeing what everyone else is doing with their sketches.

Hope the weekend's going well for you

Thanks for dropping by!

Just One Sketch...Prompt 4

This time we are to go monochrome i.e. using shades of one colour. I decided on shades of blue, to co-ordinate with the colour of my lovely friend Christine's cardi....then discovered that I don't actually have a lot of blue papers! It took some rummaging, but I eventually found some in my stash- and in some unopened BG 'Piccadilly' that I've been 'saving'!  It then occurred to me that this was essentially a LO about a baby girl..what was I thinking! Anyway I pressed on with it...and I actually don't think it's turned out too badly...pink really wouldn't have worked with the pics, I'm thinking.

Little Miss Boo is on the mend, but still having an antibiotic injection every second day- the vet hopes tomorrow might be the last....I reckon Boo's hoping the same!

DH is home for a few days...and so far has managed to 'lose' our satellite signal! Fortunately I am not a great TV watcher, but he is..to say he could kick himself is an understatement!!

Stay warm and safe!

Just One Sketch....mirror image!

MISS SMITH'S third prompt urged us to use the mirror image of our original sketch. If you remember, this sketch, by TRACY over at A SCRAP AT A TIME is the one I working with

and this is the LO I've come up with

These were taken last September, while I was up in Barcelona with DD...I'm not convinced the photos actually do this beautiful building any justice, but I'm quite pleased with the LO itself....and I used mostly old stash to make it!

I'm off to write my story for STORYTELLING SUNDAY over at SIAN'S BLOG tomorrow...why not come and join us?

Hope it's not TOO cold where you are...still colder than we're used to here, but the sun's shining brightly!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
