ANOTHER FROM THE DAY AT RIDLEY PARK

Tonight I chose another photo from our afternoon at Ridley Park along with the sketch of the week from Scrapbook News and Reviews Blog.

I chose several different fall colored patterned papers and some Distress Inks Walnut Stain Ink which I used on all the edges as well as randomly all over the finished layout.

Here is the sketch:

and here is my layout:

There are still more photos from Ridley Park so be sure to follow along this week to see the others.  

HELLO FRIEND!

Tonite I decided to make a note card for a friend back in NJ that I haven't heard from in awhile.  I used a sketch from the SNR blog  and an idea for a pocket I had gotten when doing a challenge over at Colorful Creations.  I started by using Distress Ink to make a background in shades of blue.  I used the same colors to ink a shipping tag to use as an insert. I rotated the sketch horizontal and made the block on the front (which I embossed and sanded) into a pocket.  I inserted a tag with a message and the inside of the card is blank so I can write a letter.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

and here is the tag insert:

Off to write my letter so the postman can pick it up tomorrow and send it on it's way!
