Smallest Things ~ My Creative Sketches~ Feb Sketch

Wow! Is it just me, or did January go by fast for you too? And we've just had Valentine's Day! Well, I'm excited to share with you the Feb/13 sketch from My Creative Sketches, and my take on it!  I was rummaging through my small stash of photos and came across this trio of photos of my great niece Cassidy as a baby. I couldn't resist! She is such a doll!

My LSS had a sale a couple of weeks ago and I got these papers from Pink Paislee called Spring Jubilee, and being as hopeful as I am that spring is around the corner.....way up there..... can you see it? lol Well, I can! ;) I thought these papers were perfect for this sweet little girl! I printed them in b/w because the colors clashed, and you just can't go wrong with b/w, can you?

 Here is the gorgeous sketch by Kim Keane.... I love her sketches!

This big pink flower was handmade by me, using the Tattered Floral die from Tim Holtz. The center is a rose from I am Roses that I inked up to match. I used my new sewing machine to do the decorative stitch around the outside-boy did that use a lot of thread! But was so worth it! I love the look.

I took my title from this quote I got from a Kaisercraft rub on. I thought it was so fitting since my photos are about babies. I also did some stenciling using a stencil from Prima and some Molding Paste. I used a bit of Prima's Vintage Pink ink to colorize them a bit.

More Prima goodies and some I am Roses roses!

The white floral die cut you see is from Memory Box and I love how intricate they are!  Got a Prima resin fairy overlooking baby Cassidy, and I used some Dusty Attic small vine to finish it off.

Memories ~ Stuck on U Sketches~

Oh My! It's reveal Friday once again at Stuck on U Sketches! That means a new layout for a new sketch! To me, this sketch was all about love, so I had to do a layout featuring my husband and I!

I just had to use Prima's Romance Novel for this layout.

Here is a close up of the flower cluster.

I used a real zipper and zipper pull by Prima.

I won this scroll that I painted white from Blue Fern Studios

I want to share with you my take on this awesome sketch! We went to Las Vegas during the Christmas holidays and saw some pretty interesting sites!  My favorite were these "walking Poinsettia sticks", that were in front of the Venetian Casino. They have a sort of outside festival called "Winter in Venice", with these ladies walking around as well as others, a skating rink, a Gondola on the Canal and tons of fun things to see. I had to scrap these girls! 

I used Prima's Tea Thyme collection, Tim Holtz Poinsettia die and inks, Dusty Attic chippie, a new Memorybox die and of course the brick mask from Prima and moulding paste.

Here is the blog candy I have that is waiting for the winner of my part of the hop!
