Just My Sketches & The Blend - Jack

Here is my DT layout for the latest JSM & the blend challenge. It doesn't look heaps like the sketch, but the basic elements are there:The railway tracks are for the stripes, the birds are instead of the 3 brads, the branches are for the flower embellishment, and the title and journalling are in the right places.
The song I chose from the list (and it's so obvious but I couldn't help myself) was "Sweet Child o' Mine"...
Here's the sketch & songlist:

 ~One Heartbeat

 Smokey Robinson
~Amazed

 Lonestar
~The Motown Song

 Rod Stewart
~Chances

 Five For Fighting
~Sweet Child o' Mine

 Guns N' Roses

Just My Sketches & The Blend - Summer 09

 

Time for another JMS & The Blend sketch reveal. This time our choices for songs were:

-NO SURPRISE Daughtry
-THANK YOU  Dido
-THE REASON Hoobastank
-THE CLIMB Miley Cyrus
-SUMMER BREEZE Seals and Crofts
I chose Summer Breeze and picked out these photos of Charlotte from last summer. I used hand-stitching with coordinating embroidery floss colours for the detail on the layout. I was inspired by the dotted lines in the sketch. Not 100% happy with my choice of DSP for the top corner piece, but it's sewn on there so it's not like I can just pull it off and glue something else on haha.
As always if you want to play along you can find the details of the sketch at JMS & The Blend. And if you leave us a comment telling us where to find your creation you can go into the draw to win a great prize pack.

Just My Sketches & The Blend - The More Things Change, The More They Seem To Stay The Same - 5 Yrs On

I'm so excited to be back doing DT work!!! The song that I chose from the list was "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. There's a line in the song that says "The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same" and I thought I'd use that line as an excuse to scrapbook about Justin & I, and how even though we're older and we've changed we're still just as much in love as we were when we got married. 
Ok, that's getting too sappy! I won't tell you what the hidden journalling says or you'll throw up!
I'm not 100% happy with how the title turned out... I wanted something Collage-y to go with the strips of DSP but I'm not sure I got it quite right.
I stole my colour combo from this card by Sarah Gough, a demo in NZ. She isn't always a regular blogger but when she does have something to post, can you say WOW?
