Got Sketch? Three takes on the September Sketchy Challenge.

October 25, 2023 No Comments

Hello and Happy Fall! Kim here with some layouts to share, inspired by the September Sketchy Challenge. It’s no secret that I LOVE a good sketch as a starting place for scrapbooking. It seems to be what my brain seeks to start my creative process. I’m not one to always follow a sketch exactly. I never see absolutes with a sketch. Some folks see a sketch and distinguish what is a photo, paper and embellishment, they want to know what size to print photos and cut paper to make an exact replica, this is not wrong, just not my way. I, however see a sketch and think looser. What if the photo was paper or vice-versa, could an embellishment be a photo, one photo could hold the ‘weight’ of many photos, a photo could be a journal block, etc. I do not look to replicate the sketch, though sometimes it…

Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Fall Cards by Heather Fischer

September 7, 2023 1 Comment

Happy Fall!! Heather Fischer here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine blog to share some Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Fall themed cards I recently created! Fall is definitely my favourite season…I love the cooler days, the changing colours of the trees, fall decor, a hot PSL 😉 and of course, Fall themed projects! I tend to make and send quite a few Thanksgiving cards and cards to remind people how grateful I am for them. 🙂 For these 2 cards, I used 2 different stamp sets from Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz and a couple of my favourite techniques, ink blending and heat embossing! Both backgrounds were made using the following Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide colours; Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Scattered Straw and some Vintage Photo blended around the edges. I love this fall colour combination!! Here is a closer look at the first card I created -…
