Posted in 12" x 12" Sketches, Card Sketches at 4:16 pm by Noella

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!  Well our first term has come to an end and another is just beginning..  I would like to thank the out going Designers: Nicole, Lisanne, Kelly, Keely, Elizabeth, Geng, Raechelle, Trish, Amy, Jess, Krista and Tanisha!!  You all made the first term here at Creatively Yours a fantastic ride!  You all totally rocked the sketches.  What more could I have asked for?  With that I am sending you a heartfelt “thank you” and we wish you luck in all of your future endeavors!

Also, I would like to welcome our new design team, I know that they will knock your socks off!!  In the next few days I will be posting the new teams bios and photos..so be sure to check in to meet the new team!

Before we say goodbye to the out going team, I sent a email asking them to create from a sketch that they were not assigned but really wanted to create from.  Here is what Nicole, Kelly and Tanisha sent in..

Nicole Designed this awesome Summer layout using past sketch #39

Have you had the chance to check out the ScrapScene site today? You should!

Enjoy! Congratulations to our new Design Team and our two January 2009 Guest Designers!

Additionally, I would like to give a big “High Five” of congratulations to Noella.

Her work as an expert in the craft of sewing, creating beautiful “handbags, totes and more” for sale through her No No’s Sew Hip Creations  shop has been rewarded with a feature in The Hand Made Product Shopping Directory.

I have already ordered a bag for my daughter Kate, in her favourite colour: PURPLE! I know it’s going to be fabulous!

WTG Noella! GREAT JOB!

See? I told you that you were all famous now! LOL

Super Sunday – Two Sketches

Posted in 12" x 12" Sketches at 2:33 pm by Noella

Hello everyone!  With the holidays and hub bub of the season,  I seem to run out of steam..I have also started a new venture (well sort of an old one) I have started to sew again creating handbags and totes to create income for Christmas (I hope).  That being said, I will be posting 1 – 12 x 12 and 1 card sketch per week..until January..then I will continue to post two 12 x 12 sketches and 1 card per week after the first of January.

So today I have decided to post two sketches and of course the wonderful interpretations by our Design team:

Sketch #40 – 12″ x 12″:
