Sketch of the Week: DIY

Once you've got a working knowledge of sketches and how to effectively use them for your cards and layouts, don't be afraid to branch out and create your own blueprints for design! Think of it as a way of mapping out the plans for your project--in advance!

This week, Design Team member Lori Roop shares with us a project created based on a card sketch she designed...

First, the sketch. Drawn on either a scrap piece of paper or in a notebook you keep for future reference--the sketch just kind of helps you get your thoughts down on paper. That way, as you dive into your project and you really get "in the groove", you're not slowed down by designing--or often redesigning--the basic layout/structure of your project. Instead, you can just start pulling patterns and elements that fit the concept and have "fun" with the artistic side of papercrafting!

Lori's fun & eclectic birthday card was created using materials from her stash and a variety of patterns and elements from My Mind's Eye's "On the Sunny Side" collection!

Supplies Used:
    MME On the Sunny Side Paper: Happy Go Lucky, In Bloom
    MME On the Sunny Side Die-Cut Accessories Sheet
    Imaginisce Hello Cupcake "Happy Birthday" Stamp
    Black Ink
    Other: Ribbon & Lace, Buttons, Floss
    Machine Stitching

This week, we challenge you to create a project of your own based on a sketch that YOU create! Post a photo of your sketch with your completed project (card or layout) on our Facebook page and who knows--you just might be entered to win a prize!

Have a super-sketchy week!

[Louis Vuitton Outlet]

One of the most popular handbag companies in the world is Louis Vuitton and they have the latest styles when it comes to high end fashion. The handbags are wonderful and you can be assured by owning one that you will be envied by all of your friends. The truth is that high end status also comes with a price and these great handbags can cost from $700 and up so finding one at a lower cost would be the way to go. We all know that there are coach and other handbag outlet store but can you buy a Louis Vuitton at a discount.
