December Sketch #3: 12x12

It's Monday! Let's start off the week with a simple sketch...

Fall is in the Air
by Virginie Delbecq

Virginie was also part of my original design team when So Sketchy began and she has joined us today all the way from her home in France. I love the rich and earthy colours Virginie has used throughout her layout design. A beautiful page indeed!

Join Virginie on her blog, Sur Mon Nuage... for a load of wonderful inspiration!

On a side note.... join Virginie and I on the myStamp BOX blog today at 4pm EST for our "Let's Party" blog hop style! Come and see some fabulous party projects showcasing some fun myStamp BOX stamp sets! We're giving away stamps! We hope to see you there!

Thank You to My 2008 Page Sistas!

A BIG thank you to my 6 So Sketchy Page Sistas for all their hard work and efforts in the last 6 months! Love you guys!

And for their final finale.... one last sketch....

Soccer
by Savitri

I love Savitri's sense of colour! She always uses such beautiful hues and blends colours so well together. I love that Savitri has taken the simple and straight title from the sketch and developed her own version! A sunny and wonderful page Savitri!


Artsy Fartsy
by Wendy


I giggle every time I read Wendy's title... just TOO cute for words! Love how Wendy has taken the three squares and made them her own! Super cute page Wendy!

Toi (You)
by Virginie

I just love Virginie's sense of colour! She blends here patterned paper so well! Love how she took the center strip from the sketch and used a funky sticker strip! Awesome and fun page Virginie!


Grow
by Kristii

I adore the little tree and scene Kristii has created with her tree, buttons and fence. I love that Kristii has interpreted the circle from the sketch and made her own; a very organic shape. Super layout Kristii!


Decorate
by Jana

I love Jana sense of whimsy on this page! She's taken the circle from the sketch and used it as an arrow to point back at her gorgeous photos! Glorious page Jana!


Sweet 16 Treats
by Christine

In order to get all of her cake detail photos on her page, Christine has adjusted the sketch to include just one more square. I love Christine's sense of detail. She always seems to have to most gems and blooms and always fit just perfectly on her work. A gorgeous page Christine!

Thank you again to Christine, Wendy, Virginie, Savitri, Jana, Kristii and Wendy for an amazing 6 months. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with myself and the So Sketchy readers. Hugs to you all!
