Here is the gorgeous sketch for the 1st Challenge:
The idea is to take inspiration from the sketch and make it your own, I hope you like my layout of "surprise surprise" Nate up a tree (no hands mind you) lol!!!! No wonder I am grey, he is not up high, but they just don't see any fear........
This is my depiction of the sketch with a bit of a spin on it, I tried the technique using the leftover letters and then painted and misted over them. I used the stunning Nikki Sivils papers and made some little scroll flowers and I hope you like it.
After the Blog Hop they are having a Birthday Celebration with more RAKS been given by the DT and all you have to do is join in any of the DT challenges - this will end on Dec. 6th!!
My secret code letter is "E" and if your joining on the Blog Hop in order you should have came from Stacy
From my blog you will visit a fantastic card maker who has tried for the first time a layout, she is extremely talented - Jackie
There are some amazing prizes, not including RAK's from the DT members also.
All you have to do is:
1. Take inspiration from the sketch above and post your layout in the "Sketches for all "gallery - write your name in the gallery details about what you think the mystery word is from gathering all the (random) letters from each blog? (Mine was"E") and while you're there become a follower.
2. Leave a comment on each of our blogs.
3. Become a follower on Sketches 4 All blog.
Hope you enjoy the Blog Hop. Love Melxx
