Sketchabilities # 117

I seized this opportunity to use a bunch of products from my stash to create a layout based on the Sketchabilities #117 sketch

 

 

And here is the page I created:

 

 

I rarely scrap 1 photo on a page these days, as I am so far behind in my son's photos, but this sketch really caught my eye!

WILD at heart: A Layout for Sketch - N - Scrap

 

 

 

I created this layout, "Wild at Heart" for the sketch challenge at Sketch N Scrap!  This is the first time I've entered a challenge on the blog, and I was excited to discover it! 

Here is the original sketch from Sketch N Scrap, #45

 

I was thrilled to be able to use 4 photos on this sketch, as I am 3 years behind chronologically, in scrapping my youngest's memorable events!  LOL!

 

To create this layout, I used these products:

*My Mind's Eye

*Crate Paper button brads

* Me and My Big Idea red foil chipboard

*Simple Stories journaling scrap

* Sew Easy stitching

* embroidery floss, apple brads, buttons from my stash

 

Please leave  me a comment - I love to read them! 

picnic: A Layout for Let's Get Sketchy, May Week 2

Update:  I was chosen the Week 2 Featured Artist at Let's Get Sketchy for this Layout!

 

Oh we have so much fun in the summertime! I love the color orange, and I often dress my youngest in orange, and buy scrapbooking collections with orange themes! 


 I created this layout based on the Let's Get Sketchy May Week 2 Sketch Challenge, and here is the original:

**My resolution for 2013 in the scrapbooking area of my life is to use the supplies (the stash) I have already, and to only purchase prints of photos and adhesives!**  This layout gave me lots of opportunities to look through my stash and use several pieces!  YAY! 

I used Fancy Pants Trick or Treat, Oct 31, and It's The Little Things collections, Reminisce Safety First, Simple Stories Summer Fun, Scenic Route Grafton Beach, Graphic 45 Staples alpha stickers,Sandylion Essentials Stickers, Crate Paper Toy Box Phrases, Jillibean Soup, American Crafts ribbon, Flair buttons, and Remarks Accents, and Recollections flowers!  (I also used several buttons from my stash!)

Living My Own Adventure

So as you can see, I love patterned paper!  And lots of it! 
 I have also been playing with black cardstock as my base, and I like how it worked with these photos! 
 I used my Fiskars handheld circle cutter for the "circle" in yellow from Pink Paislee's Junque collection. 
 The black and creme pattern and the blue/yellow fleur de lis patterned paper are from 7 Gypsies, as is the title piece ADVENTURE.  The 3 red stars are also fussy cut from another sheet in that same paper pad. 
 The printed butterflies are from Close To My Heart - and I must say, I love them!  The strip at the top with the word "destination" is from Pink Paislee, and is actually a transparent border sticker!  The font stickers in the lower right corner are from Carolee Adorn It. Don't you love the old world script font stickers that appear to be written by quill pen!  (And these are ancient stickers by Flavia). 
The gold/white striped paper is from echo park's Little Boy collection. The blue/yellow polka dot accents in the top right corner, on the lower left photo corner, as well as the red/black circle strip in the top left are border stickers from Crate Paper.
I really got a kick out of all these primary colors, and I hope I have inspired you in just a tiny way, to feel more confident to play with angles, shapes, lots of fonts, various manufacturers and collections, and of course ----- patterns!
