Well did you miss me?
Here I am for the second post of the day due to a slight mishap! You can check out why in my first post here.
So today is Friday and it's team B's turn up over on the Scrapmuch? blog for Sketch-y Friday.
We had another awesome little Sketch to work with from Laura, and here's my effort:
Those Moves.
I dug into the old photo's again - this one's my hubby way back in the day! It reminded me of a move from the TV show The Professionals (you might have to be British to know what the heck that is!) where the two tough guys from Scotland Yard or MI5 or something like that, are constantly sliding across the hood of the car to go catch the bad guys.
I have a feeling my DH was probably just catching some rays or trying to look good for the photo!
Anyhow, back to the relevant stuff........
Papers are oldies from Authentique and I started with the background - a little white acrylic paint, a stencil and then some fake tire tracks using ink and a patterned brayer from American Crafts.
There's also a few metal star studs dotted here and there.
My title is cut using my Silhouette and a font called 'Outright Televism'. I also cut a circled star to place behind.....sort of continues the theme of the patterned papers.
Finally, I covered a chipboard arrow with some of the PP's and added a metal paper clip from Maya Road to compliment the staples punched here and there.
Here is the Sketch for this week which you can also find over on the Scrapmuch? blog.
We would love to see your own interpretation of course.....just link up over there to be in with a chance of winning a prize!
OK that's definitely 'it' from me for today, so have a great weekend and I'll be seeing you Monday,

Good morning.
I got another good night of sleep last night so I'm flying on Cloud 9 again today......we'll see how long it lasts!
I'm still having trouble with my hands right now, but today marks a new Sketch reveal and challenge over on the Scrapmuch? blog, so it's not all bad.
When my project was due at the beginning of this week, I really had to dig in and pull this one out of the hat.....in the midst of my Mono symptoms.
Oh well, it might not be my best but I actually enjoyed the fact that I didn't procrastinate too much.........just got everything on there as efficiently as I could.
My Father-In-Law will enjoy this one (hopefully!).
It's Only Rock n' Roll.
Look at that dude all the way back in 1962!
Hmmm I don't ever remember my FIL being able to play the guitar so me thinks I'll have to delve into this story a little more!
I created the large star in the background with my Silhouette and a Sketch pen, then rubbed my cardstock over a little watered down mist spritzed onto my craft mat. The final step was a little checkerboard stamping in black.
I picked up the perfect 50/60's style font, free over at Dafont......'Remachine Script', and then again used my Silhouette to cut the title.
The retro paper collection from my stash (Echo Park) also worked perfectly for this theme, and I was lucky enough to have the co-ordinating stickers too.
I put them to good use especially, for the banner which I popped with foam dots for a little more dimension.
I think that just about covers everything which is just as well cause my fingers are now numb again.
If you'd like to join in with our Sketch Challenge this week, just head on over to the Scrapmuch? blog and link up your creation there.
Before I go, I almost forgot to show you the wonderful Sketch I got to work with for this page.......
You can tell I 'flipped' it and changed up a few of the shapes/elements but that's the beauty of a sketch.........creative license and all that!
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday for this months Inspiration Elevator creation,
Jayne.x.
Good morning.
If you're looking for the 'Songs of Christmas' Blog Hop then you're at the right place.........just need to scroll down a little or click here.
If you're just browsing then stay a while, I have a layout to post today.
First though, please excuse any bad grammar, spelling mistakes or general babble today, as the delightful stomach bug that's making it's way through our local school, decided to pay a visit to our house this last week........via my eldest. She has now generously shared with my youngest so we all now how this pans out now don't we?!
I could be posting on borrowed time here, although fingers crossed, no symptoms yet, just a little ragged around the edges having spent the night on a camp bed next to my daughter.........mopping brow, rubbing tummy etc.etc.
However, on to brighter happier things like paper, glue and embellies to guide me to my 'happy place'!
Today's page was my first creation from a Two Scrapbook Friends DT Kit of a while ago, using one of Echo Parks Photo Freedom collections by Jenni Bowlin.
I was immediately drawn to this because.....well.....there's black in there I guess! Can't help it, anything with black in the colour scheme is usually a winner for me.
I also thought it would work beautifully with the vintage/retro photograph my In-Laws passed over during their last visit........their Wedding Day photo of 45 years ago.
No pressure or anything!!
Happy Ever After.
I fussy cut a few pieces from various sheets of PP, and layered here and there.
I do love this retro camera (Maya Road I think).....perfect for this page together with a couple of wooden hearts.
I used various stickers from the co-ordinating sticker sheet for the title, and how cool are these mini coat hangers?
So cute, I love em.
Finally, a couple of die cute feather shaped thingies, and of course the Dymo had to make an appearance.
Did you know Dymo Industries dates back to 1958, and by the late 60's had become a household name for labelling every single thing in your house that did not move or breathe (although I may have tried it with my brother once or twice!)?
There ends the lesson for today!
I'll be back on Wednesday for some Little Red Wagon goodness, and then Friday with Part 2 of this collection.......germs permitting!
Have a great day,
Jayne.x.
