May GDT Karen's Take On Sketch #72

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Sketches In Thyme PL Style! We are so happy that you are here.

Today we want to introduce you to our May guest designer, Karen!


Hi!  My name is Karen, and I live in a semi-rural area in South East Queensland (Australia) with my husband and teenage daughter.  We live on bush acreage with our dog, and an assortment of chickens, ducks and Australian wildlife.  I've been scrapping for over a decade, and creating is my happy place!  I am definitely most comfortable creating traditional layouts; I favour simple, linear designs and strong colour combinations.  My pocket pages are usually very heavy on photographs and light on cards and embellishments. Using sketches helps me to change things up a bit and get a bit more creative with this format.   I enjoy sharing my scrapping creations online with like-minded people, so I was thrilled to be invited to be a guest designer at Sketches in Thyme PL Style this month.  I'd love you to visit my blog at beingkaren.blogspot.com.

Here is a reminder of the sketch that Karen worked with, courtesy of Shawn Lahr;


Here is the project life style card that Karen made:


Oh my goodness, I love the colors on this card, and the feathers are the perfect touch!

Not only did Karen make a project life style card, but she also created this beautiful layout based off of this sketch:



Such a great example of how you can base a traditional layout based off of our project life style card sketches! Fantastic take on the sketch!

Be sure to stop by Karen's blog - Being Karen - to see more of her beautiful work!

Lori's Take on Sketch #69

Hello everyone! Happy National Scrapbooking Day! There are so many fun things going on around the internet today to celebrate this fun day - are you playing along with any of them?

It's Lori here today to share my take with you on sketch #69, courtesy of Majo! Here's a reminder of what sketch #69 looks like:


And my card based off of it:


I have been trying to work on my granddaughter's first-year album, so I thought I would make a card to use in her album. At first I thought I would use this card for a journaling card, and I may still, but I'm thinking maybe, if I can find the right photo for it, that I will make it a photo card instead. Time will tell!

I also made a couple of coordinating cards to go with it. You may recognize one of them based off of  sketch #67 from last month! Head on over to my blog to see more about it!


We are offering up a fun prize for this month. All you need to do is play along with any of our sketches in May and link up before May 31st for your chance to win this:


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!
