Let's Get Sketchy Guest Post - May week 1

I was pretty excited when Let's Get Sketchy asked me to be their Guest Designer for the month of May.   I've been playing along with their weekly sketches (most weeks) since discovering them last fall. It's been so much fun having that extra level of inspiration in my crafty week. 

Here's the sketch for the week: 

And here's my interpretation:

This one got a lot of scrap attention! Love when I can pull that one off - everything is scraps (and solid at that! I never use solids). The bottom half of the page was created by clear heat embossing a large stamp and then resist inking over it.  The large "2" was cut on my Silhouette Cameo and covered with some MME washi. The other fonts are Jenni Bowlin and Girl's Paperie. The banners were also cut on the Silhouette. 

I hope you have as much fun working with this week's sketch as I did.

I about died when I saw that this week's sketch at Scrapbooksteal.com (Jade 9 MWM) featured a starburst pattern. I love the look they give, but man-oh-man such a lot of work. To make it ever so slightly better, I busted out some of my scraps and gave it a go. Pretty cool that everything except the Thickers were out of the scrap bin! I really need to do starbursts more often. Or not.

I'm also linking this up with the S.W.A.T Drill #1 - to do a page about yourself. S.W.A.T. (Scrap Warriors Advanced Training) is a new challenge blog that some online friends are part of and I can't wait to see what they bring with their drills and basic training and advanced training. Drooling just thinking about it.
