TSTR - You Make Me Smile

Pin It

Hi everyone and welcome to another fun challenge brought to you by The Shabby Tea Room! This week we are changing up things a little and and offering up a little sketch for you to base your challenge entry on! Design Team member Lesley has picked a great sketch that has lots of possiabilities.....

I happen to love a good sketch. This can be changed up in several ways...turn it up on end - move the "srtips" up, down or even diagional - move your focal point (oval) to the top, bottom or even in he middle. You can make it fancy or strip it down and go simple like I did here....

I used the So Sweet of You (sentiment) & I'm Having A Tea Party (vace of flowers) sets from Paper Sweeties

 

What did I change on the sketch....

 

 I turned the sketch up on it's end

 I turned the small square panel into a large square panel

Turned the oval focal point into a different shape and added a layer

scalloped the larger strip

used ribbon for the narrow strip

 

You can never go wrong with a fun sketch...hope you give it a try! :)  This week our challenge is being brought to you by an AWESOME stamp company that I was introduced to through our own resident DeNami Princess, Paulina...Paper Sweeties.
