Jennie's July Sketch

Hello!

Here's a sketch from Sassy Lil' Sketches that I really loved and I hope you'll have fun with, as well!

I loved the opportunity for several photos on the layout, as that is definitely more my style. I also loved the triangle layout for the embellishments. LOTS to love here!!

Here's my take on the sketch:

I used the gorgeous and vibrant Echo Park Summer Days papers and brads, while omitting one of the photos from the design. I used my Silhouette to cut out the title (Lobster 1.4 font!) and I misted the shipping tag with Studio Calico's Mister Huey sunshine (a discontinued color, phooey!).

The die cut doily is painted with Tattered Angels glitter glam in lipstick pink. I LOVE this stuff. The color is gorgeous and the product is just FUN to use. I can't wait to try other colors!

I journaled a list onto a die-cut label with the computer and used the Echo Park Summer Days brads to highlight each item on the list. I also used the same brads as the center for the Studio Calico notion.

The final element is the Zinged! Maya Road chipboard sun. It's a simple element yet fun and bright, like the rest of the layout!

I'd love to see what you do with the sketch! Try it out and post it in the gallery!

A new sketch for you, from Sketchabilities.

Hi this is Bente!

I thought I would share a great sketch with you today, and the layout I made with it.

I was chosen a couple of weeks ago to be guest designer for the current sketch # 48 @ Sketchabilities. It is a sketch site run by Karan Gerber that has beautiful sketches and even keep an archive so you can go back and search for what takes your fancy!

I used patterned papers from the "Basic Grey" collection "Hello Luscious".

I chose a yellow and green scheme to make something that would look a little out of the ordinary. The collection has a great variety of beautiful colours. The green trim is also from the store, as well as the "Jillibean Soup" letter sticker sheet that I used.

This is the sketch. I think you can see the similarities.

I just love the little die cut shapes for photo mats.

My page is about how happy my daughter was when we visited my sister and Beatrice could say hello to her four horses.To her it was it was a little bit like heaven!!

I made a small collage so you can see some close ups too.

Thanks for looking. You are very welcome to see more on my blog:

Once Upon A Sketch

How did everyone enjoy the sketches from NSD weekend?  I hope that if you weren't able to finish a project with them last week that you'll find some use for them in the future.

Just in case you need new inspiration, I have it here.  We are sponsoring Once Upon a Sketch all month long and that means we have a second sketch to share with you.

Some of the Stash Girls finished one in time for the reveal:

And here's how you can win some Stash Cash.  Use either this sketch or the one posted on May 1st to create a layout or card.  Upload (link in the comments) your project for us to see.  We'll draw some random winners on June 1st.
