Club Anya's Monday Mania Hostess:

Can you believe that the Hostess this week for the Club Anya & FriendsMonday Mania Challenge is none other than...MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I'm so super excited about this. Let me tell you a little about the challenge. It is a Sketchipe. (That is a Sketch plus a Recipe. So I'm calling it a Sketch - a - pea.) Goofy, why of course it is...this is me we are talking about folks. Now on for the fun!

The Sketch

Designed by Gwen A. Hesson
Follow the sketch as close as possible. You may use variations on the sketch as long as you can tell the original sketch is there.



Monday Mania Sketch

The Recipe
You must use at least two of the following techniques on your project:

*Inking
*Painting
*Stitching
*Embossing

Now here is what I did with this challenge.

Card

This little gem has it all. Sketch based design, stitching, painting, embossing, inked edges and even distressed edges. I really had fun working on this.

Lay Out

In this little lay out I used some super fun papers by Nikki Sivils. They are all pet based in this set, "Bella Blue and Oscar Too". They worked so well with my girls and their pinks. Little Aubrey was sporting piggy tails for the very first time. She just looks so ornery in them. She and Sadie, our family dog, were having such a fun day together. I had to get a photograph. Sadly, Sadie was camera shy.

I managed to follow the sketch very well on this one. Also did inking on the edges using my Tim Holtz Distressing Inks. Embossed the matting behind our sweet little Amelia image from TGF. (Doesn't she reflect little Aubrey and her piggy tails perfectly?)
