Scrapbook Challenges Sketch 302

Good Morning and welcome to another Scrapbook Challenges Sketch for this week...only this time, I'll be presenting my layout with this sketch as one of their new Design Team members!!! So excited and so thrilled that they wanted me!!!

Now this is the single page version above and the double page version below...I decided to work with this sketch in the double page version because I had lots of photos of Marissa's Handball season...and you know how I am about trying to get the school albums up to date and complete...

now here's my take on sketch 302...

Now as you can see, this sketch certainly is loaded with photos, so for those of you that have so many pictures that you can't live without, this sketch is totally for you!!!

I had more trouble with using less paper...I found some sporty paper and some patterned paper that had a wood flooring look to it that reminded me of the hardwood floors in school gymnasiums...

I made the embellies from a piece of patterned paper with pre-printed images on it, dug into my corrugated stash of stars and misc. buttons and twine...easy peasy, lemon squeezy...not my favourite layout, but done nonetheless :)

Make sure you check out the SC site for more creations with this sketch from some of the other Design Team members and thanks for popping in today!!!

School Days

Good Morning! 

I love sketches...have I said that before??? Yes, I'm quite sure I say it very often ;) This sketch is awesome and I sure hope you decide to play along with it too...I think I might even create another one.

I flipped a couple things to make this sketch work better with what photos I had on hand, I also got a chance to play with my Cricut and my CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge...

When you need just the right colour for your title, this AP cartridge does the trick, I used my Creme Brulee cardstock to add some more yellow to this layout with these letters.

Can you see the white splatter...I filled my CTMH spritzer with some rubbing alcohol and some White Daisy re-inker...played with spritzing and loved the final result, just a little distressed

Twine has got to be my perfect go-to item for a dash of texture and colour

seeing as I'm a huge fan of all types of shapes...stars and school of course are fantastic together and this layout needed some star treatment...I even ran the large start through the embossing folder and my Sizzix...thanks so much for stopping in for a visit today, enjoy your Wednesday and I hope that you have fun with this sketch :)

Wednesday's Let's Scrap Sketch!

Good Morning...it's Wednesday again! Boy these weeks have been speeding by! 

I have got another Let's Scrap sketch for you...this one was great for getting those multi-photos scrapped...I was looking through my kids' books to see what is left to do...( I don't scrap in order & I am not up to date)...so I look for gaps!

Matthew still had his Grade 4 school 'tour de France' photos sitting in his album and this sketch worked perfectly for it!

I happened to have a photo of the globe in his classroom and thought that would be the perfect size for my embellishment!

My scalloped border and the scalloped circles were cut with my new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from Close to My Heart...love it!

and yes...this is how Matthew's teacher smiles!

I inked my corrugated kraft dimensional star with a brush and some re-inker...easy peasy! and all the stickers are from the piles I have had for years...not sure how I will ever use all my school sticker sheets...
