I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but it’s Aug. 1st, and that means I have a let’s scrap sketches layout to share with you.  It also means I need to call my sister and wish her a happy birthday.  Happy Birthday Adriana!

I love putting my own spin on these sketches, and this one was so fun!

  • I started adding some tissue wrap to the right side where I knew my photos were going.
  • My new grunge stencil was perfect for adding a bit of texture paste.
  • I layered together lots of paper, most of it from Prima’s Archivist line, and stapled them all together.
  • Red glimmer mist was a great addition onto just the layered paper, not the background itself.  I used purple mist on just the background, and I really like the contrast and how the colors compliment each other instead of blending together.
  • Of course this sketch wouldn’t be complete without some hexagons and chipboard. Adding them to the layout to form a sort of line from the top to the bottom of the page to highlight the photos really took this layout to the next level.

I’m so happy with how this layout turned out, and the best part is it only took me an hour to create.  My layouts normally take way longer than that, mostly because I hem and haw way to much about which element goes where.let's scrap sketches layout close up hexagon chipboard

The rest of the design team has come up with some amazing layouts, too.  So, come see what they’ve done and play with us!!  Check out the blog and our awesome sponsor, Eureka Stamps, and show us how you would use this sketch.

    I just love all the cool techniques you use and share. The color really comes alive against the brown. Another amazing take on the sketch.
