Moving on... #19

This LO that resulted from this sketch is another favorite. I've had these photos taken by my B-I-L for a while but no inspiration... I've had the cute Memory Box paper (Brioche) for a while but no inspiration. The sketch was simple but it just provided enough of a spark that I ended up with a really sweet LO. I flipped the sketch upside down and then changed the orientation of three of the photos from the sketch to match up with what I had and then moved the title. The diecut loopy circle is a My Favorite Things Dienamics die and the cute font is Die-Versions Boardwalk. TFL.

#18... well it ended up being one of my favorites

Well this sketch was not my favorite when I first saw it as my smaller pages do not comfortably allow this many photos, but in the end the resulting LO is one of the favorites I've done while following this 28 Days of Sketches class. The patterned paper is Echo Park's Summer Days and the cool cardstock backing is an old piece of SEI paper (love the texture). I used a Sizzix embossing folder to give the photo mat some texture so it would stand out a bit and I used old stash for the embellishments (happy dance)... the butterflies are Heidi Swapp and American Crafts and the buttons are Doodlebug. TFL.

Continuing counting up... #17

I struggled a bit with this one... finally found some inspiration but then could not leave the butterflies alone so I think I ended up with them more densly populating the LO than intended. I also got lazy with the journaling so it ended up taking up a whole lot of space... so #17 is not my favorite, but it is a sweet picture and a good memory captured. The patterned paper is Authentique Journey.

Another back pedal... #15

And here is my interpretation... I flipped the sketch and used the big leaf diecut from Lifestyle Crafts instead of the third photo. The cutie is my youngest nephew and the paper is MME Lime Twist Out of the Blue. I used an old Sizzix alphabet (Fruit Smoothie) that I haven't for a while and rediscovered how cute it can be especially with small scale patterns you get in a 6x6 pad.

Backing up a bit... here is #12

Scrapping on a slant comes so easily to some and is a struggle for others. I think this is the third LO I've ever done on a slant! LOL... guess which group I am in.

I piece together the background in one of those start with an idea and it just keeps growing instances. I have to say scrapping with 6x6 paper pads stretches ones creativity if you want a background that has a dimension bigger than 6". I struggled with the little bears eyes (that is his third pair) still not 100% happy as he looks a little myopic, but I think he'll do. The cardstock is BoBunny Double Dot (reverse side is that gorgeous soft distressed look) and the patterned paper is MME Six By Six Blink of an Eye. TFL.

Sweet 16...

Another one skipped... #15 like #12 & #13 is waiting for a sunny day so I can have reasonable light to photograph it. So here is #16 which I did out of order so seems reasonable to share out of order.

It was another one calling for a lot of photos, so I replaced some of the smaller ones with one large one and then used patterned paper for the rest. The paper is from the Simple Stories Fabulous collection 6x6 pad and the LO features another friend Joanne and her daughter Anna (although she is a bit burnt, Joanne is not the lobster she appears in this photo - the skin colours are off). TFL!

No longer following in order...

So I did scrap sketch #11 which was a two page spread, but it was one of those LOs that I just kept adding to until I no longer liked it... sigh! So I decided to remove some of the additions and trashed the paper in the process so... I will have to redo one of the pages so it has gone to the bottom of the pile ;-)

Sketch #12 and 13 are also done but not yet photographed or scanned, so I am posting #14 today. I is a single photo layout calling for a long title.

Here is my LO - a more recent photo featuring Corina and her lovely daughter Elena. Not sure the title makes it to the 'really long' category but it is reasonably long. I used MME Lost & Found Rosy paper and from the 'really needs to be used' stash some older rub-on letters and brads. The die-cut die-cut border and fancy label shape are from the Cats Pajama's Rubber Stamps. TFL!

Sketch #10

Here is my take. I kept it very simple, just replacing the border strips with diecut shapes and added the colourful border around the outside. The paper is Echo Park Happy Days and the fish diecut is Spellbinders.

Sketch #9

This one had room for an awful lot of photos if you were doing a 12x12 page. Mine are smaller so I reduced the number of photos  and replaced a few photos with patterneded paper. 

 

My photo of the LO is a little blurry but you get the idea. My sister and her family have a wonderful tradition of going out and selecting and cutting down their Xmas tree. They always seem to have a lot of fun and the photos are always great! I used paper from the Memory Box 6x6  Mistletoe pack. The little tree diecut is from Cottage Cutz and the lacy oval diecut is from My Favorite Things. 

Sketch #8...

Another day another sketch from Lisa Day...

Here is my take... it features a cute photo of my neice (are those little cherub lips not adorable!?!) and the journaling tells the story of how my little sister originaly asked us to stay away from pink and things girly girl and how Rachel herself has decided what she likes. I stayed pretty true to the sketch just moving the journaling. The patterned paper is from MME as is that great pink pearl swirl and the background is the reverse side of BoBunny Double Dot Decaf Vintage. I included another rolled felt flower (could get addictive!) and it and the photo corner are from My Favorite Things Die-namics and the great title letters are from Lifestyle Crafts (previously Quickutz) TFL!
