Creative Memories Nancy O'Dell Love Series with Sketches in Thyme

 Good morning, it's that time of the month!  Time for my monthly contribution to Sketches in Thyme Facebook Challenge Group.  I just loved this colorful photos of the seaside town of Mystic, Connecticut.  I dug deep in my stash and found this incredibly old papers from Creative Memories.  I will admit I was hoarding this collection, but I have a new attitude, use it up!

Here is this week's sketch

I inserted some older embellishments too. The Robin's Nest drops were the perfect colors.

I added Creative Memories sticker letters and the coordinating stickers for the collection.

As long as I was cracking open this kit, I thought I would just use it all up with the same sketch!  These two photos are NOT next to each other in my album.  This second "green" page is from another Connecticut town we visited.

More Creative Memories letters on this layout as well.

Ingredients:

Creative Memories Nancy O'Dell Collection the Love Series

Robin's Nest Dew Drops and Tear Drops

Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink:  Green with Envy and Pixie Pink

Thank you for reading today. Play along with Sketches in Thyme Facebook Challenge Group until September 30.

Stampin Up Pampered Pets with Alcohol Ink and Stampin Up for Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Welcome to my blog today. I am using the latest sketch for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #596.  I have never played with this set and I was excited to play with the doggie. I thought his gray color really popped on the alcohol ink background I created.  I can always use a good dog card.

Here is the sketch.  It's a really versatile one this week.

I used iridescent foil on the alcohol ink background, a favorite technique of mine, so I tucked an irisdenscent scrap as the smallest paper piece in the sketch.

Ingredients:

Various Alcohol inks

Stampin Up Pampered Pets stamps

Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Brown Grey Blend pen

Copic Black 100 pen

Spellbinders Large Deckled Rectangle die

misc papers, card stock including Creative Memories, Bazzill, American Craft and foil

Momento Tuxedo Black ink
