May 15th Challenge
Welcome to Sketches With Color! For the month of May we are doing something slightly different with our challenges. We will still have a sketch and color palette...however, for each challenge this month you will be able to choose 3 out of the 14 colors displayed below. The colors are the Pantone Spring 2013 Color Palette, a color matching system used by, among other things, the fashion industry. If you're a fashionista like me, then you may have noticed that these are the hottest colors in the all clothing stores this season. You might have also noticed that many of these colors have been popping up in numerous scrapbooking collections that have been released in the last couple of months. Just remember that although there are 14 colors displayed, you may ONLY choose THREE (you are also free to use neutrals like black, white or kraft on your project).
Without further ado...our second sketch for the month of May:
And the color palette:
Choose THREE of the above colors and make sure to indicate which you used.
May Guest Designer
I’m very happy to be the guest designer this month, I do love a good sketch! I am a tax accountant by trade and know that too much creativity in my profession will land everyone in jail, so currently my creative outlet is scrapbooking. I’ve been scrapbooking and creating with paper for about 9 years now after watching my sister and daughter enjoy the craft for a bit – swearing I didn’t need another hobby, but eventually I was making suggestions for their pages, planning photos for layouts, evening finding a new house with a room for a studio – I was hooked. I share my enjoyment with both my grown daughters as well as other members of my family. I live in Ft. Worth, Texas but enjoy taking my girls around our country to visit, generating lots of things to scrapbook about!
Here is what Debi created with our sketch and color palette:

Our New DT Members
Please extend a very warm welcome to the newsest members of the Sketches With color Design Team!!
I was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB Canada. By day I am in Marketing for a large Insurer and by night, I enjoy taking care of my family, scrapbooking, taking bubble baths and wearing sweats as much as humanly possible! I dabbled in Performance Art for a long time, and then made the switch to paper crafting in 2006 to express myself creatively and have never looked back. I have enjoyed developing my work over the years, although I still find it difficult to exclusively define my style. I just love paper and making pretty things! I work best when challenged, and am looking forward to sharing my creativity with everyone.
My name is Surama and I live in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with my mom, my young sister and two cats. I'm single, no children. I work in publicity at my own company: an agency of events and promotional marketing. I've been scrapping since 2006 and never stopped. In the little spare time I have, I'm with my papers, scissors and glue. For me, scrapbooking is fun, it is my pleasure and my joy. Good memories and special moments of my life with my family and friends are the theme of my layouts. In addition to scrapbooking, I love listening to music, watching movies and going out with friends. I am happy to be a part of this team. I hope I can inspire you.
I'm Devra. I am a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest). I've been scrapbooking for about 15 years. For me, scrapping is not just about the photos, and stories. It's also my stress release, my creative outlet, my happy place. My style is constantly evolving and changing because I like to try new things. But one thing you will always find in my pages is humor. The main topics in my scrapbooks are my family. My husband, our two boys and our dog. They give me more than enough material to keep me going. When I'm not scrapping, I'm caring for my family, reading a good book, watching a baseball game, and always thinking about the beach. I'm excited to be a part of Sketches With Color. This will be a great challenge for me as well.
