Many
of you have asked me where I get my ideas from when it comes to cards, pages
and layouts. That answer is simple. Most times, I use Close to My Heart’s variety
of fantastic How-to Books.
There
are 4 books that are specific to Scrapbooking for both pages and layouts – Cherish, Imagine, Magic and Reflections.
And
there are 2 magazine style booklets that have a combination of cards, pages and
layouts – Make it from your Heart, Volume 1 and Volume 2.
I
use them all.
One
thing I love about these books is that no two patterns are the same in any of
the books. There is always something
fresh to create. I also love the
inspiration these books provide. There is
sample artwork for you to gain ideas from, but to make your own based on the
papers and embellishments you might have in your scrap stash. Lastly, I love
that these designs challenge me to think outside my normal creative comfort
zone with a new design, a new mix of papers or a new technique.
That
is why I am starting a sketch challenge each month, and I would love for you to
be a part of it. (NOTE: This is NOT open to
other CTMH Consultants… only my loyal customers.)
Each
month, I will post a sketch. You use the
sketch to create something using your own supplies. Some months it will be a card sketch – make a
card! Other months in will be a single
page or a layout – preserve your memories! Using supplies you have on hand, you create
whatever inspires you!
When
you are finished with your creation, email or text me (775-750-7809) a picture of your work of
art, and I will post it here for all to see and be inspired by. You will then be entered into a drawing to win an ink pad of your choice! How cool is that?
It’s
a great way to get creative, use your supplies, support and encourage others
through creativity!
Are
you ready to get started? Here is this
month’s page sketch!
Ready,
set, go! Get crafting!
Until
next time and another fabulous sketch challenge,
Roberta
