October Update 2

This week's idea for using the October 2 Circles 2 Go sketch comes from Keryn and is a great idea for a Christmas card.  Using the two crossing lines detail part way up the card looks like ribbons on a parcel and the Father Christmas image is just lovely, isn't it?

Maybe this will be just the inspiration you need to get busy with your own Christmas cards!  If it is, then please let us see your own interpretations - we love it when you share your ideas with us. 

Don't forget though that our sketches can be used for any sort of crafting project you like - so whether you make cards, books, ATCs, Inchies, Digi layouts, or any thing else, you can share your projects here.

Keryn

Looking forward to seeing what you make this month

Happy Crafting!

September Update 3

Back again with another project to share using the September Simplicity sketch.

This time it's me, Kathy here to share another picture page for my mini album.

This page shows "Shaw's Corner" in Ayot St Lawrence, Hertfordshire which was the home of George Bernard Shaw.

I've punched the squares for the border areas from another photo taken on same visit which had lots of flowers in the foreground.

There's still time to join in with this sketch, and you can make anything you fancy using it - just don't forget to pop back and leave you link so we can come and see what you've made.

Happy Crafting!

September Update 2

Hi there, and welcome to another September Sketch File Update

This week we have a new DT member to introduce you to - please welcome
Keryn McNicol 
who has been using the Sketch File for her own card-making over the last couple of years and now will be making projects especially for sharing on the Sketch File Blog.

Keryn says: 

I'm married, second time around, to Steve and have 2 grown up daughters

Eve got a few health issues but mainly with mobility and cant work but I'm gradually adjusting to that having worked hard all of my life.

We had 2 super little dogs and recently came home with a puppy to join our fold!  They are my main source of entertainment whilst my crafting is my main source of sanity!

I hope to come along and 'see' you all individually and see more of your beautiful work.  My style is quite straight forward; I get messier than my papers if I try the distressed look and as for goth, steampunk and fairies I can appreciate it but my fingers just cant do it!

Keryn's first creation especially for The Sketch File is below and we can't wait to see more.  

 Keryn

Kathy

Come back soon for more ideas using this sketch, and to leave your link so we can come and see what YOU make with it - anything you want to make using the sketches can be linked here - cards, ATCs Inchies, Twinchies, LOs - it's up to you!

Happy Crafting!
