For the wood veneer pieces I used a mixture from Kaiser Craft and JIllibean Soup. Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see how you blend the sketches."

I painted my two wood veeners with green Distress Paint.
The two girls in the picture are my twins. I had another title in my mind at first but I didn´t dare to use that.... (It was: Three little pigs) LOL
Hope you find some time to join us for this challenge! Looking forward to see your work!

For today's inspiration, 

Designer Michelle Henderson

is sharing this amazing layout inspired by the

May Blend a Sketch Challenge:

Michelle shares this about her layout:

"Hi crafters, I'm back again with some inspo (I hope!) for you with the blend-a-sketch challenge.

I used the large circle and title placement from the first sketch, and the quartered background plus the diagonal flow of the stars (but I used hearts) from the second sketch. 

I thought I could pretty much use up my entire stash of heart wood veneers but I may have just a *few* left lol.

I love how it turned out - purple isn't a colour I use that much but I might a bit more often now 💕

C'mon, show us what you can do!!!"

"Hi there SOS friends! Rachelle back with your to share my layout inspiration for the sketch blend challenge. This layout was easy peasy and fell together very well. Sometimes you will have problems creating your work. I either start over or continuing on until I get it right. I love layering and using a bit of mixed media. Then it was time for the chipboard, floral cluster and cute wood veneers. The picture is so darling of my friend's daughter. Thanks Stephanie.

It's FriYAY!!!!

Today's inspiration is from 

Designer Sherri Caramico.

Take a look at her awesome layout inspired by the

May Blend a Sketch Challenge:

Sherri shares this about her layout:

This month's challenge asks you to blend two 2 great sketches, 

and include wood veneers in your layout too! HOW FUN!!

Here is how I decided to blend the 2 sketches -

From the Left Sketch - I used the small rectangle pieces

From the Right Sketch - I used one photo, the title on the bottom left of the layout, and I replaced the star embellishments with flowers. I also included 4 different wood veneer embellishments for the added challenge too!��Here is my Layout for your Inspiration - I used a favorite photo of my wonderful parents since this month we celebrate Mother's Day and next month we will celebrate Father's Day.

I used up lots of “stash” and I hope I’ve inspired you to play along with us this month too!

Hello!

Today's feature is a wonderful layout created by

Designer Angela Wesibeck

inspired by the

May Blend a Sketch Challenge

Angela shares this about her layout:

"Ok, I super LOVED both of these sketches so I squished in as much of both as I could. I used washi tape, stickers and pp that I punched to look like tickets on the left to bring in that fun element from the left hand sketch and then layered up my pps and photos on the right and added some totally awesome stars. I put a banner along the bottom for the title and last I added on the wood veneer title. 
Have fun creating!"

Michelle said this about her layout:
"Hey everyone. I have my take on the Golden Globe Stash Challenge for May. I decided to use photos of my grandson and his cat, Oscare. Of the three house cats my daughter has, Oscare was the last one she thought would be so good with Finn. I used paper and ephemera from My Mind’s Eye that contained cats. The movie also inspired me to do a page on cats. Hope this helps to inspire you to create an animal themed layout. Thanks for stopping by and I can’t wait to see what you create!!"

"How To Cat" Layout by Designer Michelle Henderson

Hi there!

Today's adorable feature is the wonderful work of talented

Designer Michelle Henderson

inspired by the

May Golden Globe Inspired Stash Challenge:

Michelle:

"Well I had to do a layout of our little lion for this challenge - well at least she thinks that's what she is sometimes! I just love how this photo shows her cute little pink paw pads ❤
It was pretty easy to find cat embellies for this, but I kept it to a single flair and the cat button that's part of the charm.
I'm really looking forward to seeing all your layouts for this challenge!"
