Weekend Workout 4 - SKETCH

Hi, Dolly here.

Weekends are all about having fun and chilling out and so I have a very simple chilling out challenge for you today.

I have made a sketch for you which is nice and simple. Dress it up or keep it plain, whatever takes your fancy. It is based loosely on a template I had from Pickleberrypop

 

 But it is more than a sketch.

I further challenge you to scrap something which is relaxing. Perhaps pictures of you or someone else relaxing, chilling out, taking life easy.

And don't forget, share what you create. We have!

This is my take on the sketch.

Hello, Eleanor here, with my interpretation of Dolly's weekend workout sketch.

21 years ago this week, I was certainly relaxing, enjoying, or so I thought, the last month before my second baby was born. She, however, had a different plan, and arrived early, speedily, rather small, at home, in the middle of the night (half an hour from start to finish, and the ambulance crew and midwife were way too late!).

So here's my card for her, based on Dolly's great sketch, and including, as usual, a crocheted motif.

My tip for anyone who, like me, struggled in the past with crochet - use COTTON yarn whilst you are getting the hang of it. I'm using the King Cole Bamboo Cotton again, and it's so much easier than using a wool or acrylic yarn which has fibres and splits easily.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my daughter Dee:

Hiya Claireliz here with my take on Dolly's sketch

I love this photo of my daughter with her two favourite bears & it fit nicely with Dolly's added challenge of scrap someone relaxing or taking it easy

 

I used part of the large central sqaure from the sketch for my journaling. I used Banana Frog Paperchains stamps to create the bunting, which I have attached with 3d foam pads. The journaling reads: You're so sweet cuddling up with your bears Snuffy & Mr Muffles, you have some great adventures.

I really hope you play along & join in the fun, if you do leave us a link in the comments & we'll pop by to say hello.

Hi, Mandy here.

OOooh... I do love a good sketch!  Here's my LO about an evening bonfire we had on the beautiful Welsh beach of Fairbourne.  My ds kept the fire going even though the driftwood was pretty wet and the fire kept wanting to go out (hence all the smoke).  We did get it just right to toast marshmallows and had a perfect evening, watching the sunset over the water.  The photo below was taken on the dining table with a cream wall behind, which I think makes it look a bit odd (sorry about that!).

 

I so enjoyed following Dolly's sketch and it came together really quickly :)

The circle wordart on the LO is available as a free pdf download here on IACW (check the left side-bar), so help yourself to a set of words that fit into a standard 2" punch.

Have a great week-end.

Mandy.

I really don't like sketches much but looking at all the examples it makes me think twice. Love the variety of them all. Well done ladies in maybe converting me to like them a little more :)
