Sketch of the Week

Sketch of the Week, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

OK, I know mojo comes and mojo goes...but yesterday was ridiculous.

I was following along with Shimelle's latest challenge--a sketch.

I changed photos three times. I cut up three different sheets of paper. I agonized over this one. Nothing looked right. Nothing went together. And in the end, I kinda gave up.

I hate that.

So these are pictures I took many years ago at Freedom Weekend Aloft--a really fun celebration during the July 4th weekend, which traditionally has included hundreds of hot air balloons.


Supplies:
Paper: Bazzill (rust cardstock); Studio Calico (Astro); ivory paper
Stamps: Stampers Anonymous (script stamp); Recollections (Alphabet Stamp Set); Crafty Secrets (Clear Art Stamps--travel set)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain, Brushed Corduroy, Black Soot--for the number tag); Ranger (Adirondack Color Wash--Espresso)
ETC: Studio 112 (Saffron Tags); K&Co (Handmade Ephemera Pack, Flora and Fauna Botanical Butterflies pack); Colorbok (Slim Alpha Stickers); Sizzix (Tim Holtz--Tattered Floral Bigz die cuts); Cuttlebug (Butterflies die cut and embossing folder set); The Paper Studio (brad); EK Success (3D-Dots); Glue Glider Pro; Zig Two-way Glue

ETA: I made the number tag based on a tutorial over on Shelly Hickox's blog, Stamptramp. When I originally posted this blog, I couldn't remember where I had seen the technique. My apologies to Shelly. Check out her site for the tutorial: ShellyHickox dot blogspot dot com.


Have a great weekend, everyone!! I so, so appreciate your comments on my pages--thanks for sharing the scrapbookin' love!!! =D
