It’s Thursday, so I’m up on the Creative Embellishments blog with a layout to share. 😀 CE is sponsoring the Stuck?! Sketches January 15th challenge, so I decided to play along. Webster’s Pages has also had a different challenge posted each day this week on their blog, so I combined their day 1 challenge (monochromatic) with the Stuck?! sketch. 😀

For my take on the challenges, I decided to go with a pic of 3 of my kids coloring, drawing, cutting and pasting. They love to create and tend to do something artistic every day. The Creative Embellishments Create set was perfect for what I wanted to portray and the steampunk light bulbs helped illustrate their innovative, creative ideas. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

Creative Embellishments Create set
CE Steampunk Light Bulbs
CE Conversation Hearts bg stamp
WP Western Romance pp, bloomers, sparkler, whimsy heart and bow

It’s Thursday, so I’m up on the Creative Embellishments blog today with a page I created using two of their fabulous flourishes, smart phone frame, hash tag title piece and one of the gorgeous bird cages. I stained and painted the flourishes, but for the birdcage, I also added some details to the birds using Pitt artist pens.

With permission from the site owner, I also combined my dt work for CE with the September challenge at the 123 Challenge Blog. Here’s what I came up with:
