This one shows use of multiple patterned papers. It’s not too busy but so much better than a plain old, plain background which is what I usually end up doing. This is a monochromatic example your challenge is to use 1 color on a white background, at least 4 different patterned papers and at least 4 embellishments. Twist – 5 points - Add some dots, nuvos, brads, enamel dots, just dots. For an extra 5 points add some memorabilia (a program, invitation, thank you card, event ticket, etc)  SKETCHTEMBER - 4 by CLAUDIA LOVELESS, on Flickr And here is my take -  IMG_4114 by CLAUDIA LOVELESS, on Flickr |

Love the sketch, gramma. Teehee. I saw it and thought "that looks like a sketch of something gramma would do". Clean classic lines. The type of pages of yours I sometimes print out to help keep my messy style on track. Then I checked out your sample, and saw the way you mixed it up with the extra photos and tilting. That works for you too! |

grammadee Thank you. This one is sorta, kinda, a little bit out of my comfort zone. I mean tilted pictures, more than one background paper, papers that don't go all the way to the edges??? Really??

LOL, gramma , I chuckled at your tilted photos. I have the hardest time doing that. This one is out of my comfort zone, but I love it and hope to work on it over the weekend. Thanks for sharing. |

Thanks for a fabulous sketch gramma , it's right IN my comfort zone!  I didn't manage to get the twist in, because I had finished my LO before I even looked at what the twist was!! Aaarrgh, I keep doing that! And as you can see, my LO is about as far from monochromatic as you can get haha. Oh well. I used the 'Best Friends Forever' kit by Jen C Designs.
