challenge 4 over at Punky Scraps is a sketch challenge.

here's my take on it:

 

my mum's maiden name is Cooke, and this is an old family photo of the Cooke's (minus my auntie, who i'm guessing took the photo lol). i made the brown circles by dipping a small lid into watery paint and stamping it onto the paper.

and here's the sketch:

 i created this layout for Ingeborg's scrapbooking competitions based on the sketch below. it's of my brother on my poppas boat in 1990. i used a florish stamp, but it didn't turn out that great, so i filled them in with a black gel pen which made them stand out alot more.

i made this layout for the kaisercraft saturday sketch contest.

oh, and i have some awesome news. i've been published in scrapbook news and review, under masks and stencils. so i'm pretty stoked about that lol

 i made this lo based on the creative scrappers 125th sketch. my dad gave me the title, but now i'm thinking i should've titled it "grin and bear it", oh well lol. i started this lo a couple of weeks ago based on a different sketch but it just wasn't working, so i flipped the cardstock over and started again with this sketch:
