Valerie's sketch challenge

Valerie Salmon is one of the ladies that participates at scrapbookaddict.com. She's incredibly talented. She has a sketch site (click here) and recently on scrapbookaddict issued a challenge for layouts based on her sketches that I decided to participate in. I used Sketch 5 and changed it to a 2 page layout by doing a mirror image on the second page. Since I don't have a small circle stamp, I used ribbon on the sides. I used my "Whale of a punch" circle punch to cut the circles from Die Cuts with a view patterned paper. These pictures are from my senior year in high school.

See, I am addicted to dots!

The circle around the "for you" is the dot circle stamp I talked about in my first post. I love it and have used it a lot. The red paper is embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder and has a bunch of different circles in it.

Just an everyday card. I love the ribbon and the circles.

This is a baby card. The light purple circle says "Welcome little one." There are pacifiers in the other circles.

This is the first cards I did after I got the circle stamp from Kathy M at scrapbookaddict.com. I just love the way it defines a place to put sentiments or whatever.

Another card using the embossing folder and the circle stamp. I saw this ribbon at Micheal's craft store and loved it. It is variegated, going from a light, almost silver, blue to a dark navy blue and back again.

Another welcome little one card, but this time all the circles say the same thing. My husband didn't really like the pacifier one above, so decided to try it this way.

Same card, just different coloring. Boy babies versus girl babies.

Another fun card with different color cardstock and ink.

As I said, I love dots right now, and here's the proof : )
