SKETCHBOOK JOURNAL

 So happy to be here today as a Guest Designer for Crafting By Designs, it was quite the surprise not to mention an honor to be invited.
  My card had been chosen as one of the Saturday Spotlights  from the Summer Fun Blog Hop challenge at Crafting by Designs. Because of that, I was invited by Doris and the DT to be a Guest Designer, of course I accepted and made this  Sketchbook Journal.

 The theme for this challenge is layers, something I seem to do on most of my cards, no specific reason guess I just like layers.

Girl with Cat in Shades of Purple

This is a card I made with one of the most darling of images by Julia Spiri, it was love at first sight, who couldn't resist that sweet little face along with so many more.  If you would like to take a look at some of her other charming   images HERE IS THE LINK and I'm sure you will enjoy your visit.

The image I've used here is Girl with Cat, she is one of the newest images and there are so many more to admire.

There is a Face Book Group you may like to join and share some of the fun and contests, also on September 3, 2015  the Julia Spiri Challenge Blog will have their first challenge, hope to see you there.

This card I made by cutting a 6" by 10", score and fold every 2 inches on the long side,  taping the first and last flap together. The lower step is  6" by 5", score and fold every 1 inch, again on the long side taping the flaps together as in the first.   I covered with Bugaboo Digital Paper then adhered the 2 together.  Next cut a 6" by 6" piece of heavy cs, embossed with cuttlebug and added more design paper adhering to the other 2 pieces.  I added and layered my image to more dp, and decorated with various dies placing it on the heavy cs.  I hope this make sense if not you can ask me in the comments section.
