Sketch N Scrap Layout Sketch #209

Hi everybody! Thanks for stopping by today, I have a fantastic new sketch to share with you that is up on the Sketch N Scrap blog today!  This sketch was designed by Lisa Hidy:
And here's my take on it:
What a fun sketch, I love the elements on the left, perfect to build a cluster!  If you stopped by at the beginning of the month you already know how much I'm loving the Simple Stories Bro & Co line.  Here, I paired the papers and elements with a Bella Blvd besties background paper.  I've really been trying to make an effort to get my stamps out more and use them on my layouts.  The Let's Wander star stamps & dies add a fun touch to this little boy layout. I also used one of my favorite new items, a Catherine Pooler camera stamp & die set!  These are so fun to color, I used a Spectrum Noir Ice Grey Triblend marker and an Altenew blender pen with a navy and yellow ink to create a color coordinated camera embellishment.
Come on over to Sketch N Scrap and show us what you can do with this sketch. There are other challenges running throughout the month, too. Hope to see you there!

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #177

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by today!  I'd like to share with you the first card sketch for the month is up on the Sketch N Scrap Blog, designed by Heather Hall:


And here's my take on it:


In the place of the large flower element I decided to use a doily and layer this cute farm truck hauling florals.  I just love using up little elements from collections that I don't use on layouts for my cards.  This card was created using all scraps from Jillibean Soup and a scrap of light wood grain from Crate Paper for the doily. 

This sketch was fun to create with, come on over to Sketch N Scrap and show us what you can do with this sketch. Hope to see you there!

Sketch N Scrap Layout Sketch #208

Hi Everyone! Thanks for stopping by today, I have an awesome new sketch to share with you that is up on the Sketch N Scrap blog today!  The September 1st sketch was designed by Heather Hall:
And here's my take on it:
The slightly angled strip under the title of Heather's sketch inspired me to create a few more angles with her design.  I angled the center portion of the design and used my notebook edge border punch to create the stapled strips.  I also used some angles on the top and bottom borders.  I am loving Simple Stories' Bro & Co line, the warm colors are so vibrant!  Mixed in with the Bro & co is a random sheet of Pinkfresh Studios navy paper with little white circles from my stash.  Rather than use a large label edge on the right, I decided to create a cluster in it's place using a Kaisercraft grid texture stamp and layered elements on top of it.  For balance, I used the same stamp to the left, I think it gives the background a little somethin' somethin' LOL
