Creative Imaginations started monthly sketch contests in January. It's been wonderful to see everyone's take on the sketches in the gallery. One super, cool thing that Creative Imaginations is, also, doing is giving away prizes to the winners. And, to appeal to more of us, they are running not one but two sketch contests each month; a card sketch contest and a layout sketch contest.
This month's layout sketch can be found here. The sketch is wonderful! Even better the prize is $50 worth of CI products AND a blog feature!
This month's card sketch can be found here. There is a prize package for this, too.
So, what are you waiting for? Get thee to CI and play along!
Last month, I did an example for both the card sketch and the layout sketch. For the layout, I used some pictures of my youngest playing in a Spring rain storm. He refused to wear a hood, but insisted on his dinosaur rain boots, so I went with a little humor. The journaling reads "Real men do not wear hoods in the rain, but they do wear dinosaur rain boots". I used the Real Wood for the background and sprayed it with Luminarte, which will be in stores very soon! I, also, used a bunch of Petaloo's fun glitter flowers and their glitter paper.
For the card sketch, I just did a simple "hey" card. I love having these simple cards around to send out for no other reason than to say "Hey!".
If you love sketches, I highly recommend checking into CI's sketch contests each month.
Thanks for the feedback on what you love to see on blogs. I've got my thinking cap on.
