For this sketch challenge there is a twist and that twist is to use BUTTONS somewhere on your project. Sticking with my 'Back to School' theme, I made an altered notebook for my daughter. This will be her 'School Journal' where she can practice her spelling words, write stories, draw pictures, etc.
Here is the beautiful sketch we are working with for this challenge! Don't forget to use BUTTONS when you join in the fun!
Here are a couple of closeups so you can see the details a little better.
Aren't these apples buttons ADORABLE? I fell in love with them and yes, I even stamped one of them with a Simple Sallies face.
I used the Snow Cuties Face for the girl's darling face, I used Simple Sallies for the face on the one little apple and I used the Extra Small Polka Dots for the polka dot print on my girl's shirt (I heat embossed it). All of these beautiful stamps are in the Peachy Keen store.
I also used Emma's My Teacher Rocks! stamp set for both the little note in the girl's hand as well as the homework list on the chalk board. And last, but not least I used the beautiful Woodgrain background stamp from Market Street Stamps for the wood grain on the chalkboard. All of these stamps are manufactured by Peachy Keen Stamps and they are the best quality! I LOVE them!
Thanks so much for dropping by today!!! I appreciate all of you taking the time to support and encourage me. I hope that I do a little of the same in return. Have a wonderful day! HUGS- Glora

Glora,
ReplyDeleteThis altered notebook is absolutely AMAZING!!! ;) So many great ideas!!!!!!! I can't get over all of the details (the chalkboard that wasn't even a real cut, not to mention that the wood trim looks real, the adorable apple buttons, especially the one with the stamped face (did you use Stazon ink?), the embossed dots on her shirt (I thought it was paper-pieced), & the little Mickeys on the shoes (how do you think of these things?!)!!!!!!!!
All such wonderful touches!
Thank you so much for sharing!
