Just Give Us the Candy, and No One Gets Hurt - Sketchabilities


Oh my word - don't they just look like trouble? :) This is my first layout for Sketchabilities challenge blog - I do hope you'll hop on over and see what the rest of the team has created. Such a variety in styles, it's fun to see all the interpretations on the sketch!

Here is the sketch, I hope you find a chance to play along - be sure to link up your page to Sketchabilities, we would love to see your take on it.


I've been itching to use this tree mask for a while, so I took the opportunity, and some glimmer mist and went for it.


Some yummy black bling from Zva Creative. I love that they make bling in colours that work for pages that aren't 'girly-girl'.

I got to dig into some flower colours I don't use very often - black and brown. I love the look for a hallowe'en page!

My title was most of my journaling on this one - pretty much sums it up (of course, I added names and the date to finish giving the context). I like mixing small letters with larger ones - it allows me to use longer titles without taking up half the page.


Supplies:
PP - Kaisercraft
letters - Basic Grey (small), My Mind's Eye (chipboard)
flowers, black ivy - Prima Marketing
crystals - Zva Creative (flourishes), Prima Marketing (branches)
leaves - Viva crafts
brads - My Mind's Eye (large), Queen & Company (tiny)
mask - The Crafters Workshop
glimmer mist - Tattered Angels (Cinder, Haunted Shadows)
pen - Uniball Signo
