Stuck On You Sketches

This week the sketch is by sweet Leah 

Who doesn't love the Friday reveal at Stuck On You Sketches??

The team has put together an awesome take on the sketch.

Check it out SOUS

I had a super time with this layout I had a babysitter for most of the afternoon so I could actually put together this wonderful layout. I used the pp from Creative Imaginations Beach Cottage Collection which the minute I laid eyes on it...it was in my basket.

I bought it in May while in Florida. I was feely beachy sooooo of course this is what I put togther.

I wanted to name it treasures of the Sea.....but this also fits so well. Cooper at Nags Head in 2010. The boys LOVE the beach, well who doesn't?? 

The title is so perfect It is from Silhouette SD I cut from Bazzill Raven paper. I used half of a wine faux cork, sea shells,

Prima flowers, starfish, coral, sanddollars and more. Even the sand in the bottle. The ribbon I made using my Pfaff felting machine. Which I soooo love!!! It is just amazing!!!!

The Mermaid is just a favorite of mine anyday! I hand painted it using the Twinkling H20's now Creative Imaginations is selling them!!! Awesome I have had mine for many years from Luminarte. They are just awesome...I can't say it enough.
Then I went over them with a few Ranger Stickles.



I also added Copic markers to her skin tone. Raffia, stitched the background diecut which is from Cricut using the Lacy Labels Cartridge, and TH Distress Inks on the labels (diecuts)

The quote is fabulous and oh so perfect.......
“I dropped a tear in the ocean, and whenever they find it I'll stop loving you, only then.”

Oh my don't you love that quote.??



Here is the picture I used of Cooper at OBX 2010 edited in PhotoShop

Sketch By Leah Schaeffer

I took this adorable picture of my granddaughter Abigail this week, she has been her all week even spent the night, which is hard for her, she's a mommies girl. She loves the pool she asks all day Grandma Dawn we going to the pool now? I always love the summer, and it has flown by...like usual. Sad I wish it could be summer a bit longer. They eaten nutty butties and popsicles all week.  I made them zoo pancakes for breakfast today and Abigail told the boys I made them for her. The cutest little story she was sad and missed her mommy and daddy last night so I was holding her in the bed all the boys were around her in a circle tring to comfort her it was like she was a brand new baby...I just thought how thoughtful and caring they were. I'm gonna miss ya Abigail when ya go to school! She starts school this year, Cooper is three months younger than her and he can't start till next year because of the deadline and he is sooooo ready, the school system has had so many cut backs they have elliminated the 4 year old program which Cooper could utilize but not now. Cooper is so READY!!!!

The picture is of a watercan in my garden that I have edited in PhotoShop which I love how it turned out.
I used Helmar glues and WOW!!! They are AMAZING!!!!! The title I made in Silhouette on a peice of transparency then glued it on without any glue showing!!! The gear and watch parts are real and vintage. The number nine is a vintage #, I always collect the number 9's anywhere they are.  The clock behind the picture was cut from the Cricut on Wall Decor and More. I used paints, Pan Pastels, R&F Encaustic wax, stamps by Hero Arts, Stamper's Anonymous Tim Holtz collection, Helmar Glues, The Helmar Scrap Dots is my favorite. Golden Gesso was applied first to the fun foam numbers.
The pussy willow is Prima.

Stuck On You Sketches "Discover" A Layout Using the Slice Elite

Discover a Stuck On You Sketches  for the Challenge this week.
The Sketch by Liz Qualman
I have done a sketch similar before by Liz for a challenge over at Imaginisce
and won a wonderful prize package. Well I thought it was the same one...maybe I shouldn't of thought that..that is why I had three picture....LOL!
While searching for the layout I did for the sketch over at Imaginisce, I found out I was in the I Spy and did not even know it until just now!! WOW!!
Look HERE
AWESOME!!!

Sketch by Liz Qualman

I just finished the layout in the nick of time. I had another crazy accident in my family last night, Cody jumped in the pool and some how busted Colten's head open, so we took him to the emergency room here in Florida and he received 4 staples. Bazaar......crazy bad luck here lately!!???! I was determined nothing was stopping me from getting this layout done for the team. I made it!! YEAH! Such a wonderful sketch. I brought one bag with me on vacation and was able to pull off this cute layout of Dusty back in March of 2011.  Every year when gardening/bugging/spring toys come out I could just go crazy having fun with it, and thank goodness the boys love them too!! They have so much fun just looking thru the magnify glass, finding bugs just a BONUS!! They even try to put ants in the cage.....funny funny! I was gonna name the layout Spring fever but when I found the title on the Slice Discover....perfect!!! It is on the Jungle card. All the cuts were made from the Slice. Whenever I go some where I always carry the Slice perfect for travel....stores in one bag. The papers are My Little Shoebox, always my fav! I also used Jillibean Soup always adorable! The cardstock is Bazzill. The inks are Fabrico Craft Inks, the paints are Golden fluid paints, the twine is MME. While I was making this I felt a little old school, I didn't have a paper trimmer, popdots, circle cutter large enough to cut the circle out.......I used bubblewrap for the popdots, and a saucer, and a course plain ole' scissors.....so funny how we get so dependent on out tools and trust me it makes things better to have them...LOL!!! Again sorry for the delay and absences.....it has been a crazy year. I miss you all and wish I could be just keeping in touch and just be able to be inspired by all your wonderful talents and ideas. Have a wonderful weekend and can't wait to see your takes on the sketch. Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Here is the sketch for this week at SOUS
Sketch by Becky Fleck


Hi everyone,

                  Yeah I know another long time Again! This time of year as I said before is soooo busy, but really this time was because the boys were so sick all last week I couldn't catch a break for nothing. Then on friday I got a call from the school at 1pm from the high school, the first thing out of the principals mouth Hello Amanda has been in an accident....I thought car at first then I knew the time...but......then she said but she is okay, the paramedics are with her now. I was thinking is she okay so why are the paramedics with her???? They said they were taking her to the hospital......okay panic time...why??? They were in weight lifting class and a 100# weight fell on her leg four foot from the leg press bar. She had a boots and they didn't remove the boot until the paramedics got there less than two minutes from the high school. I had no baby sitter, and my husband out of town. My neighbor didn't have her cell phone on...why I asked her???? She said IDK! So I went to get Cody from school and then went to the hospital...the boys were just too sick with that awful virus to carry them any where else...to make them sicker or infect someone else. I got to the hospital and the officer from the school had stayed with her until I arrived. Thanks Officer!!! Her fibula on her right ankle had broke off, they casted her until we could see the orthopedic doc on Monday...well it is casted now until the swelling goes down but there is alot up in the air at the moment for this. She is due to leave for the Navy in July...but now she may still have to have a pin put in and not good! We have no health insurance and the school said they only have $2,500 for this kinda accident. Since Amanda had no backup plan since she sworn into the Navy last Sept. sooooooo??? Now you know why I have been absent. I have several projects done and ready to post...but as far as last week I still haven't even unloaded the pics.
                  On a much happy note I knew my lo for SOUS was due and I soooo needed to create.....after dinner on Monday I snuck to the studio and made this cute little lo...I know so different for me but I needed something easy and cheery!!! I made it within minutes and really liked it. I have always loved My Little ShoeBox such cute adorable papers. The house, flowers, and the clouds are from MLS. The cardboard
for the trunk of the tree my friend and student Nancy gave me, thanks Nancy!! The background paper is Cosmo Cricket. See above for other details. The cartridge is Sweet Treats by Cricut. There is candy this week over at SOUS.....so head over to SOUS to find out more. The candy is giving by:

 Floren at Generations Crafting

Thanks Floren!!!

Here is the candy so go to SOUS and check it out!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will be at altered book class all weekend it will be so nice to be with friends and relax. Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop
