A happy sketchy Saturday to everyone! The first sketch is my new pick. I have a sample completed but I have no light left to photograph it so I'll post it in the morning, but I want to share the sketch tonight for those in time-zones that are ahead. Since I didn't get my layout photographed in time, to make up for it, I have a second sketch to share. I used it a week ago and converted it to a 2 page spread, but I didn't share the sketch then, so here it is! #1 - sample tomorrow morning: Untitled by kirstendrew, on Flickr And the layout. I really tried to "80s" this up. Not sure if anyone else remembers the "solid gold dancers" of the 80s, but they are part of my 10 year old brain This is mostly Vicki Bs new Colour Theory line, plus glitter paper I got on clearance from M's and some various Thickers. The "create yourself" is from Vicki B's ephemera pack and I NEVER expected to use that phrase, but it fit perfectly once I coloured it with distress ink and blender brushes. Layout solid gold by kirstendrew, on Flickr #2 - sketch by kirstendrew, on Flickr layout team drew versus lake huron by kirstendrew, on Flickr

TWO sketches! Wow! Thanks so much kitbop! Will print them both. Love all the opportunities for layering. I have been eyeing that sunburst LO in the Gallery and hoping to put somewhat of a lift together, so now I can do that by invitation.... Thanks!

That is AWESOME AussieMeg! Love the curved banner, the stitching; the see through "rub on" elements; and the title is fab!

And here is my LO for the other sketch. The thing I loved most about your LO kitbop is the different shaped and size rays, and how some of them overlap and others don't. I wanted to copy that. Then I remembered that I have a template with rays, and decided to save myself the hassle of trying to create them myself and just use the template.

Oh wow, that is a stunner. My favourite bit that Im going to try to recreate IRL is the inking around the edges of the page, blending under the stitching. Your colours are spot on, that clear "shine" is something that I wish we had more of IRL too. Rays for the win!

gorgeous layouts kitbop and AussieMeg I simplified the first one to better suit my photos and page size. The second one will definitely be a challenge - I'm going to give it a try though.

Don't burn yourself out before sketchtember Linda...if you are on my team, I want you fresh Your papers in the banner are too cute! I love how they pick up on the toy that Dusty is playing with.

I love how they pick up on the toy that Dusty is playing with. lol - I'm getting warmed up for Sketchtember but unless I go back to old-school counting, I won't be getting any of the extra sketchtember points anyway. Papers are all from Photoplay Cat Lovers collection kit. I have papers and photos picked for that second sketch. Now to figure out the 'rays' - any tips? 8.5x11 will make it harder I think - maybe an 8x8 circle of rays might work?
