Janis's Take on Sketch #48....

Welcome! We have a brand new Maven to introduce to you today....
Hi! My name is Janis Lewis, and my crafting blog is PauseDreamEnjoy.com. I’ve been scrapbooking and crafting all my life. Mama used to tell me I could get anything out of the junk drawer to make a collage on construction paper when I was little. She had no idea she was introducing me to a life-long passion for crafting. I’m 50 years old; married for 30 years, 4 children (youngest has special needs), 2 grandsons and another grandson due in about 4 weeks. We are currently living in Alaska and love it here! I love Project Life Scrapbooking with the occasional traditional layout thrown in. I also love card and tag making. Fav crafting tools are my electronic die cutting machines and my Big Shot with metal dies.
 Maven Janis created this super fab card with a that adorable little vampire. Isn't he just the cutest? She created a fun title with some sprinkles of sequins. This is a great take on the sketch! 
Here is the fun page she created with her card. Notice, she added a few more little Halloween characters. Frankenstein is just so fab...

Garaleen's Take on Sketch #48...

Happy Monday! Today, Maven Garaleen has a card that is inspired for her chocolate candy making! She has this to say about her card, 
"I've had a little pad of vintage-type 3x4 cards from Authentique, and I've been dying to find a use for them. I loved this little caricature of two kids helping their mama in the kitchen, so I turned it into my title page. This page is 6x8 format, which I use as much as I can." This card is "delish"!!!
"I'll use this layout for photos of my 2016 chocolate dipping and candy making. Love the creative process of candy making...just as I love paper crafting and painting. :-)"

Jeanne's Take on Sketch #48...

Are you taking some time to be creative today? Maven Jeanne has some great outdoors inspiration for you! She used a polka dot base card to set the stage for this darling title card. She used a variety of stickers to create her title and added that sweet raccoon and the paw print flair. 
 Here is the fabulous page she created. She added a great journal card, some little critters all about the page that pulled it all together and that great tree!

Jessica's Take on Sketch # 47..

Welcome back for one last feature to showcase our current sketch! This evening, Maven Jessica decided to take a ready to go card and add a photo, some great color and a tag with a fab title, "Pinch Me" for her take on the sketch. The pop of color is not only perfect for the card but works perfectly with that photo!

Nancy's Take on Sketch #47...

Today, Maven Nancy has a treat for you! She was inspired to have some creative fun with the sketch. She decided that the layers would become the perfect place for a turkey to become the focal point. She added some enamel gems and just take in the beauty of her turkey! This card is so beautiful! 
 Rather than use this card in layout, Nancy chose to use it on another card, a greeting card! She turned this into a card for giving thanks! Isn't this such a great way to think outside the box? Are you inspired to use our sketch in a different way? Be sure to link up so we can complement your creative talents!

Susanne's Take on Sketch #47...

What a great card we have for your inspiration today! Maven Susanne chose to use a white base to allow the blue to really pop off the page. She echoed the blue from her photo to build her layers and stamp the arrows. Notice that little button under the photo, such a cute little touch. 
 Here is the page she created. She compares the photo from her visit to that of the website.
