MME Sketch Challenge

It's A Beautiful Day

After seeing Belinda Spencer's gorgeous entry for the My Minds Eye sketch challenge I was inspired to create a LO for this challenge using MME product.




I thought this beautiful pic of Brittany would go perfectly with the MME Meadowlark kit I purchase a little while ago and as red black and white is one of my fav combos I decided to add some hand cut elements with some gorgeous flocked paper from the Lush range and a diecut from the Lost and Found glitter range.  The embellie cluster is a mix of Meadowlark and Lost and found with a Martha Stewart doily and a lovely pin which I won from Tracy at My 2 Angels.  Had to add some ribbon and twine and a stamped phrase from an Ali Edwards stamp set and of course couldn't go past some paint splatters, distressing and inking to finish it off.


Only 4 Days Left

... to get your entry in for Bird is the Word Begin/Beginning word challenge and be in for a chance to win a fabulous kit from Tidbitz in Time.  Pop on over and check out all the beautiful entries and gorgeous DT work for some inspiration.

Sneaky Peek

Here is a sneak of a CT creation I have been working on.


Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love :)))
