Crafting with The Bunch

So yesterday was Tuesday which meant another morning spent at club at Crafty Bunch. But yesterday was not just any Tuesday because I kind of took over. Now I had the lovely Sue's permission but I gave the ladies something to work with namely this sketch.
Excuse how it looks but it was literally just something that I jotted down.
 
I was good though because I also offered them some inspiration using the same collection that we would be using in club, Basic Grey's Knee Highs collection.
My first LO stuck to the sketch.
 I made my own embellishment and just sprinkled a few sequins for something a little more. The photos are of my niece with a replica cow that you can have a go at milking at a local museum.

I then did another page where I used the sketch in another way, I turned it around and altered a few things.
 I wanted to add a lot of journaling with this photo of a younger me and that influence my design a lot. The flower is an American Crafts sticker and through out I used various Basic Grey alpha stickers.

Finally I made some cards with my scraps (there was a third but I used that!) including one that again used the sketch as its starting point.

I did mean to take my camera with me but forgot it - whoops! however here is what I came up with during the session again using the sketch. This isn't quite finished yet I still need to add something although I'm not sure what.
This photo is me aged 3 & 3/4 on Christmas day at the annual family tea and as was pointed out my mom (just visible in the bottom right corner) does look like me.

I think that everyone enjoyed themselves although they had not worked with a sketch before and they all left with a LO that was if not exactly finished then almost there (when everyone got their own stuff - there is a story in that too!)

Oh that looks like a great sketch, one that could be adapted over and over again. Your pages turned out great - sounds like a fun time.
