Beates Weekend Sketch

This is the first time that I am posting one of Beate's weekend Sketches. She is awesomely creative and has a great blog. You can see this weekends sketch HERE. Sketches are a great way to get creative when your in a rut. I want to make it a point to try a sketch every week to try out new layouts and colour combos that I normally wouldn't try. They are also a great way to find new layouts if you get stuck.

So this is what I can up with.! What do ya think? I love this colour combo i have been wanting to buy the crew kids girl Simply Scrappin kit and I have been using similar colour combos for a while. I think i just may need to treat myself!

Enjoy the weather this weekend its suppose to be beautiful! I spent all evening in my gardens and they are starting to look great!

I love the little 3x3 box. What a great item to tuck in your desk at work and have it full of cards ,to give away to a friend having a bad day or if OPpps you forgot someones birthday! Thanks ladies and I can't wait til next month!

What do you want to see in a Future Stampin Up Catty?

I love the Pretties Kit! But I find alot of my customers steer clear of it! I am not sure why maybe because you are unsure of whats included or how you can use it! This is one of the flowers included in the kit. Yes all the flower are white in the kit which I have heard alot of you comment on. Bla White! But you can dye them any colour with our re-inkers or you can stamp right on the flower! How FAB! I stamped on this flower with bitty backgrounds. Cute Eh! I personally would like to see these flowers in small kits in a future catalogue. Maybe even little packages of just flowers. What is on you I wish they had list? Leave a comment and I will email all you thoughts to Stampin Up. My friend Alesha gave me this idea. How can Stampin Up know what we want if we don't tell them. SO give me your feedback.

Recipe : Gable Green and Regal Rose CS (LOVE this colour Combo!) Flowers for you DSP, Lovely Labels , Bitty Backgrounds Stamp sets, Scallop Circle, corner rounder and 1 3/8' circle punches, white grosgrain ribbon.
