"Adore" LO by Rochelle S.

Hi There Crafters! 

Today I am sharing with you my layout I created for the sketch challenge:

I love scrapping London. She is such a beautiful baby.  She is like a niece to me and I have scrapped so many photos of her already (and more to come!!!) that I think I am just going to make an album for her.  :)  I stayed true to the sketch as much as possible and I used use crochet trim to satisfy the challenge.

Here's the sketch:

If you haven't uploaded your layouts for this sketch challenge or the Stash Challenge, please do so as soon as you can. They are due by the end of the today today!! :)

Happy Scrappin'! 

"Charmer" LO by DT Kate Blue

Happy Monday!

We are starting off the week with this beautiful layout by DT Kate:

Here's what Kate said about her layout:

"I really loved this sketch; it gave me a chance to dig in my stash and use this framed wood (it was plain but I painted it gold) that I got on clearance at my LSS! Got to share my love of burlap with some burlap ribbon that I received on Mother's Day & also tucked in some old stash scalloped ribbon from Making Memories (it looks like scalloped paper). Added in some handcutting of stash yellow and gold papers and some vellum from this awesome DCWV foiled vellum stack. Loved this picture that my sister took of my daughter while she and I were sharing a laugh at something; glad she focused the camera on HER"

Have a great day!!!!

"Red Rock Canyon" LO by DT Claire Rambo

Hello! Today's inspiration comes from this wonderful layout Claire created: 

This is what Claire said about her layout:

"I love that I was able to use two pieces of trim from my big ole jar full of leftover ribbon and trim. The main collection I used for this layout is Studio Calico That Away (paper, stickers, flair and alpha stickers). I also pulled out some Close To My Heart stamps, that I've never used before, to make my own embellishments. I can't wait to see your layout using the sketch along with ribbon / trim."

"Chillin" LO by DT Robin Redd

Happy Hump Day! ;) 

Today's we bring you a fantastic layout created by our DT Robin:

Robin said this about her layout:

I have SO, SO much ribbon and trim and I rarely use it. Once again, another great challenge. I also used some flowers, brads and swirly bling I’ve had forever and a day.

The picture is of my daughter, who lives in Iowa (far from Mom in California!) and her boyfriend chillin’ on the porch.

"Sister Forever" LO by DT Nicole Doiron

Hi all!!  Today's inspiration comes from our talented DT Nicole!  Here's her stunning layout:

 Nicole said this about her layout,

 "I was given this picture of my aunt Marie and her 2 sisters a while back by my mom. She asked me to create a special layout as a surprise gift for my aunt and I finally got around to doing it. I found that the SOS sketch with the small sized picture was the perfect design for it. And as for my stash, I added a piece of fancy lace trim on the left side of the layout. I'm very grateful for the inspiration and love the final result. I'm sure that my aunt will love it too."

"You" LO by DT Elizabeth Hellum

Happy Friday Crafters! 

DT Elizabeth inspires us today with this lovely layout:

This is what Elizabeth said about her layout: " This was such a sweet and fun challenge. The sketch is pretty and I wanted to create a layout that was pretty! What better way to do this than scrap a photo of my daughter, Alyssa. I also mixed textures with the papers I used and kept the bottom portion of the paper so I could tie my twine there and bring the layout in to balance. I loved this sketch, keeping it simple yet popping it full with colors too!

Supplies: Pebbles Inc. Floral Lane With Delight papers, Studio Calico Classic Calico Dot One papers, Doodlebug Designs Petite Prints, Pebbles With Love You're Sweet papers, MME Miss Caroline twine, American Crafts Remarks Love Letter Peony stickers, Martha Stewart butterfly punches, Bazzill cardstock, Dear Lizzy date stamp, Pebbles Inc. Pearl Candy Dots, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

Have a wonderful Friday! :) 

"You & Me" LO by DT Dulcinea Silva

Hello!  Today we have a fabulous layout from our DT Dulcinea:

Here's what Dulcinea said about her layout:

"Such a fun sketch challenge for layering! It's a long time I didn't try it, so I take pictures, paper, vellum and ribbon for making my layout about my niece and nephew. I have used some “masculine” color, but with a “feminine” and romantic feel. Now, it's your turn to be inspired for this great sketch!"

Have a great day! 

"Graceful Friend" LO by DT Steffanie Seiler

Hello Crafters!

Today we have a wonderful layout by our DT Steffanie.  Love how she used 3 photos instead of 1!

This is what Steffanie said about her layout: 

"I'm not good at using just one photo on a layout so I expanded the entire "platform" to support 3 photos. And actually, there are 4 photos. The extra is tucked behind the larger one with a pull tab on the left. This is what I love about sketches---they're so easy to adapt to your own style or needs. For the stash part of the challenge, I dug into my huge ribbon collection and pulled out the bright green piece you see behind my title and embellishments. I helps to balance the neon green that I ended up with in my photos!"

Make sure you come back tomorrow for more inspiration! :)
