Sketch It Thursday with KinderStampO Design Team

Good Tricky Weather Thursday! Can you believe the "chill" in the air today? But it is perfect weather for creating.  I have been working feverishly on projects and details for our annual NSD CatVention Retreat and I realized I had to do a layout for today's Sketch.  Not one of my best, but turned out kinda fun even if I do consider it rather flat for my normal tastes.

 This is the sketch that Elisa Kammerdiener from the KinderStampO Design Team gave me to work with. You know I had to change it a bit. . .

Here is my take using some of My Mind's Eye's Collectable collection and Tim Holtz chipboard letters.  We have a squirrel that just LOVES to irritate our two wiener dogs. Rambo thought he was going to get him this particular morning.  Not quite! That little bugger is FAST! 

I used a circle instead of an oval. Not a real heart kinda person so I used the tag from the collection in it's place.  I used green twine to outline the circle. I also used Vintage Photo to outline everything for more pop. I even did blending around the edge of the striped paper so it had a "walk in" look to the page. I always use my blending tool from Tim Holtz for inking as it gives a softer look. 

Hope you enjoy and find yourself using this easy page layout in your variation for many pages.

Don't forget--Thursday this week, April 11th is DOUBLE PUNCH DAY.  Head on over, stock up and double up on cards.
