New Let's Scrap Sketch!

This is what we call a blast from the past...

We dug into the Let's Scrap Sketches Blog archives for this one but you can have some fun with photo layouts as the right page could lend itself to multiple photos!

I've been too busy travelling in January and February to get into my creative space but that doesn't mean you can't play along! 

While we're at it, here's the February 1st sketch we revealed...it's a fantastic sketch for multiple photos and a great way to use up your scraps!

I think I see a layout featuring some of my recent cruise photos...love the flags and the pockets...perfect for hidden journalling or when you just can't decide which photos to use!

Hopefully you have a chance to play along with these sketches this month...if you link up your creation to our Let's Scrap Sketches Blog, you have a chance to win a little something.

Scrapbook Challenges sketch#348

I'm late! This is Sketch#348 from Scrapbook Challenges...I got it completed in time for reveal but with the distress of the past several weeks, I forgot to post it here too! Better late than never is an expression that I live by!

I created a quick layout using a fun photo from my daughter's Spring Break trip to Thailand! Imagine walking in the river while riding an elephant! I'm quite sure I won't be travelling that way anytime soon...lucky girl !

love that I was able to dig into my stash for these flowers and jewel bits!

I stuck true to the sketch and loved adding the machine stitching and ink blobs

This Basic Grey background paper was perfect because it already had some great distress to it! 

I picked up the hexagon Spellbinder die and these hexagons were super fast and easy :)

Now's here's the sketch! I hope you whip this one up, cause it took me longer to stitch with the machine then put it together...super fast but super fantastic too!

Make sure you head on over to Scrapbook Challenges Blog to see what some of the other Design Team ladies cooked up with this sketch!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by, I hope you have a fabulous day :)

more Hexagons!

This is one fun sketch, it uses my favourite photo configuration and it has octagons! I already had this 5x7 printed out and it is a bit of a stand alone photo from my daughter's Paris trip as there aren't any other photos so I've used it instead of the sketch photo suggestions...you can do that you know! 

Look at a sketch for it's basic design and make it work for your photos! Don't get hung up on the presentation of it in the sketch, if it's showing you a landscape 4x6 and all you have is a portrait 4x6...go for it! Make these sketches work for you and your photos as they are a great starting off point and don't need to be taken literally, just use them to get your creativity flowing!

I found this Jenni Bowlin 'Vintage Finds' paper collection and stickers at my LSS last week and when I did I thought of this sketch, even though it's was Team A's sketch...I just had to play along with it too!!!

All of the hexagon shapes were from the sticker sheet I purchased to go with this paper collection and then I matted them on black card stock.

Aren't these wood veneer hexagons by Studio Calico awesome!?? I inked them a bit with some Brown Bag ink from CTMH and layered them around my page :)

Thanks for stopping in today!
