First let me thank Korin for filling in this week while Roxie has a much needed rest. And second, in the words of our beloved Anne Ryan...'I totally cheated' on this sketch. Not that I didn't try to do SC304. I did. I printed out the sketch, got the oval thing going which didn't work. And after 3 hours, I was determined that I would upload SOMETHING!!! So I have apologized up front. And there are certain parts of SC304 located on my card!!!!
I adore this quote from George Eliot:
Delicious Autumn
my very soul is
wedded to it,
and if I were
a bird I would
fly about the
earth seeking
the successive
autumns.
I stamped this Prickley Pear image directly to my Memory Box Twiggy paper with VersaFine Spanish Moss and embossed with clear. I used the oval shape as a background for my globe (stamped on acetate with Stazon Timber Brown) and the South Pacific map. A blue bird is in flight and the collage postage is a sticker, cool, yeah?
So I'll say I am sorry for not staying in the Sketch Challenge lines...I'll do better next week.....thanks for having at look!

You did what? I can hardly believe what I've just read. Oh goodness, my friend, this challenge must have really challenged you beyond your expectations. Take it from me, it's not a good place to be. Okay, so your card took on a life of it's own ~ that's a good thing actually. I call it creative license where I think you referred to it as 'cheating'. Oh that word makes me cringe, Susan. But, I do love your collage. Wonderful elements and each flows beautifully onto the next.
Every Friday at noon, the SCS Queen For The Day is crowned amidst the roar of congratulations, national news TV crews and Vanna White. Come, be a part of our QFTD32 and, while you're at, try your hand at one of the contest give aways.

Oh my gosh, I don't know where to start with this. Warm and wonderful. Lots of interest with your images and textures. I laugh to hear your own commentary on this. For you to try the sketch challenge is a wonderful thing as I know this is your hardest challenge. In the end, what you've created is beautiful and inspiring to everyone, so please don't stop trying your hand at the sketch. I get a charge out of seeing what your creative eye sees that I do not. :-)
