The Sunday Creative ~ Prompt 1

Hey guys and gals, the wonderful Madeline Bea is kindly giving us all a free weekly challenge to continue unleashing the creative side of us. Prompts will be given each Sunday and we have that week to do something and link to it on her blog. You can find out more by using The Sunday Creative link on the left of her blog.

The first word prompt; last Sunday, was OPEN.

I had thought of opening your heart and preparing for it to be broken, but couldn't work out how to portray that to the world.

So, today I gave up with that and went with a view of the outside world from an OPEN window.

I've edited the photo to make it sepia as well as applying a couple of different framing effects and such using Picnik (an on-line photo editing programme). Next time I'll make note of what I did.

Once I'd taken that photograph, my brain kicked in and I got crafting.

Here's the result of my original thought

I cut the broken heart on my CraftROBO and coloured it using red chalk ink. A few blooms and buttons and it was finished. The tiny hearts were cut using a punch.

The frame was added, once again using Picnik

Thanks for looking

Love, Sarah C xx

52 in 10 ~ Cover to Prompt 10

Ok, so you have a few minutes to spare and don't know what to do with them? Here's something for you to look at.

I've been busy this week and finally started Scrapdolly's 52 in 10 project. This week, I've managed to do not only the covers, but the first 10 LOs which means I'm up-to-date and ready for the 11th prompt on Sunday. The back cover is a mirror image of the front, but without the embellishments (just the red ribbon covering the paper join). I'm doing this as an 8x8 album which will be bound using my Bind-It-All and brown wires.

COVER

the little girl is delectable stamp from Charmed Cards and Crafts

which I've stamped onto shrink plastic.

The back cover is a mirror image of the papers and red ribbon.

(I hope Eileen doesn't mind me taking her photo from Facebook)

I've used the sketch we were given in prompt 7,

but turned my photos to fit

PROMPT 9

My friends

we were also challenged to do some stamping.

I stamped the words 'friends' and 'fun' which didn't stamp clearly, so I coloured them with a pen.

PROMPT 10

A special friend

Thanks for looking. Take care, love and hugs, Sarah xoxoxo
