3-27-13 Sketch

Yes, I have another sketch over at Let's Scrap!  This is the last of the "non-winning" sketches from the design contest held last Fall.  I submitted three new sketches for the February contest, and am anxiously awaiting results.

This nine-photo sketch was designed for the very popular instagram photos that print square.  Due to it's grid-shaped design, this sketch could easily be adapted to hold an additional seven photos.  All of the square shapes are merely "holders" for any other object, be it a piece of patterned paper, more journaling space or room for lots more embellishments.

Here is my take on the sketch and it mimics the sketch exactly.

 

Happy Easter
2012

Noteworthy techniques:

• I used one of my very favorite Power Palettes from Creative Memories.  I absolutely love the bright happy colors!
• I'm sure everyone has run out of an alphabet letter a time or two.  I needed two E's for my title and only had one left.  I simply cut the letter outline from the packaging (still with the adhesive backside) and mounted it on a scrap of the matching green paper.  Then I cut around the entire shape leaving a white border.  
• I really loved the distressed edging of the paper and wanted it to be the background for the entire layout so I eliminated the extra layer of cardstock under the photos.
• The paper flowers all have a pop dot under each of them to give added dimension.
• The beautiful embossed tags come exactly as shown with layered textures and embossed flowers.
• The subtitle banner was made using a banner punch from paper scraps.

Take a closer look:
