Good morning and welcome to another edition of Sketches by Carly!  I must admit on this sketch  two things.  One I did not follow it exactly and two it was hard for me.  Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and the winner will receive seven digital images of their choice.  Now that's worth playing along isn't it? I used an image from the always cute stick figure collection.  This one is simply named School - Boy.  I remembered I had some school digital papers so I found those and printed out the pencil paper, colored up my image and then I was stuck.  I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with little thingies hanging down.  My first thought was ribbon but not for a boy card so...I used arrows that I put different character qualities on like positive, effort and respect.  For the 'dawg pound' part (the school's mascot is a bulldog) I just used word are in Word, then free cut it.

I made this to give to Kyler to tell him what a good job he's doing so far this year (I know it has only been a week) as it has been a big change for him and he's staying on top of things really well so far.  He liked it (especially the 'dawg pound' part) so it was all a success! Above is the sketch...I hope you'll give it a try and have some fun with us and possibly win some fun images from Bugaboo!

So, there you have it!  I hope you all have a wonder Friday!  See you on Monday! Posted by Lorie at 6:43 AM Gloria Shirr (purpleglo) said...

September 14, 2012 at 9:05 AM Terrific job, Lorie! I love the bright primary colors and the pencil paper, and especially the use of the arrows underneath the oval - terrific creativity.

September 14, 2012 at 10:25 AM What a great idea with the arrows and sentiments.

September 14, 2012 at 12:28 PM How cute, Lorie. What a clever interpretation of the sketch. Perfect card for Kyler.
