"Believe in the Magic" Layout by DT Tracy

Hello Crafters!

 Thank you for stopping by for today's inspiration by DT member Tracy.   Here's her wonderful layout based on the January sketch challenge:

 Here's what Tracy says about her layout:

"Yes, I still believe! You're never too old, right? I still get butterflies when I see Santa and I hope that feeling never goes away.

For this sketch challenge I mixed it up a bit, but the basic concept is still there. That's what I love about following a sketch, it's such a great starting point to get your design going. Additionally we were asked to incorporate sequins and I used plenty. Circle sequins along the chevron side border and also as the centers of my diecut snowflakes. Snowflake sequins were sprinkled throughout as well to add to my holiday theme. Let me point out my title, this is a cut file by 17 Turtles. With them being our sponsor this month we were given the opportunity to work with their files. So be sure to check them out!

Now it's your turn, go have some with it! I look forward to seeing your creation."

Here's GSA Bev Code's sketch...and don't forget to add SEQUINS:

"Today was a Good Day" Layout by DT Kate

 Happy Monday!!

 Today we start off our week with this beautiful layout from our Design Team member Kate:

 Kate shares this about her layout:

"Used the Pie Chart cut file from 17 Turtles along with the fab sketch by Bev Code. I only used one picture so that the cut file would show through; loved all the hearts! Used white on white paper but misted for a watercolor look. Used washi down the sides for the color to match my embellishments. Loved this picture of us on Christmas Day before eating Christmas diner."

"This layout features two of my favorite things - lots of paper layers and cut files. I used the "Swirl and Twirl" cut file from this month's sponsor, 17turtles. Also, believe it or not, this was my first time using sequins, but it won't be the last. Cheers!"

"Hey Sister" Layout by DT Lynn

Today we are sharing some creative goodness from DT Lynn,

inspired by our January Sketch Challenge!

Lynn shared this about her layout and the challenge:

"For my layout, I kept the main design of the sketch but used one photo instead of two. I added sequins along the top and bottom {were there is stitching in the sketch}. I love adding texture to my page with torn paper and embossing the edges. I used a few Polaroid die-cuts from 17 Turtles to mat under my photo and all the yummy layers.

Thanks for checking in and I can't wait what you create!"

Inspired by Lynn's wonderful layout and awesome job with the 

Everyday Polaroid cut files from 17turtles???

"Ready, Set, Go" Layout by DT Tanti

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend!

Today we are sharing an awesome layout created by DT Tanti, inspired by our

January Sketch Challenge:

Tanti shared this about her reveal:

"This is another winter layout that I've made this year. 

For this layout I've followed the main design of the sketch. 

But instead of two photos, I used three photos.

This sketch also inspired me to layer the embellishments.

I really had a lot of fun making this layout."

Here is our sketch this month created by our
Guest Sketch Artist, Bev Code

"Just Run" LO by DT Steffanie

Hello Crafters!

 Today our fabulous Friday inspiration comes from our talented DT member Steffanie:

 Steffanie shared this about her layout:

"In using this sketch from Bev Code, I kept the vertical and horizontal lines the same. I kept the title below the photos but shifted it to the right side of the page. I added an additional photo, making them narrower so they essentially cover the same amount of space as the original sketch design. 

For the stash part of the challenge---to use sequins---I added some clear/iridescent ones to create the feeling of falling raindrops, in support of my theme.

The running files are from 17turtles.  I cut the running border 3 times to create a partial background. I layered up a couple other elements (the running man in the circle and the title) and raised them up with dimensional adhesive.

I really enjoyed creating this page. It''s one of the few that are just about me!"

 Here is the challenge sketch:

And don't forget your SEQUINS!!

Thank you for stopping by today and see you tomorrow!

I love scrapbooking along with fun things it entails with online friends, forums and FB. The learning process has been interesting and creative also. Other crafts I love also are needlepoint, sewing, knitting, crochet and taking lots of photos. Family and friends are the subjects of my scrapping along with nature, ancestry and vacation sites. I live in Conestogo, Ontario and spend some time in Florida where I take my scrapping with me for the extended time.
