Paper Secrets April Challenge

For the second challenge of April at Paper Secrets, the sketch featured fun strips with the twist of using wood elements.

I used a sweet picture from our Spring Break trip to the ocean of Jack checking out the ocean view.

I used strips of soft paper, burlap ribbon, and washi, and embellished with wood buttons and butterfly punches, titling it "let your mind soar."

Challenge Me Happy Challenge #44

I had fun playing with a monochromatic color palette, or should I say no-color palette since it was completely white!
I was inspired by this sketch from Challenge Me Happy....

I replaced the fleur di lis designs with flowers, and used dry embossed vellum for the banner pieces.

My Creative Sketches April Sketch

The sketch for April over at My Creative Sketches featured one of my favorite embellishments, banners!

I took advantage of the banners printed on Pebbles bright collection to create thin layout full of patterns and layers.

I made the flowers by cutting random circles freehand from the papers and layering them on top of each other, and adding a button to the center.

Scrap Much? sketch #4

For sketch #4 for April, Scrap Much? featured the following sketch...

I loved all the layering and the splattered mist which I used on my layout but slowly depressing the misting tip on my Glimmer Mist. I also used a doily and layered some black and white photos of Hannah.

Scrap Our Stash Sketch Challenge #2

Sketch Challenge #2 over at Scrap Our Stash featured the following multi photo layout...

It inspired me to create this layout of Jack's track meet using this fun mini theme collection from Echo Park, called Brothers.

I was also inspired this month by Scrap It Girl's challenge to use arrows or angels. I chose arrows which felt just right for this track layout.

Sketch N Scrap #31

The minimalist design from Sketch N Scrap this month inspired me to layer and mist to create dimension.

After misting my kraft background, I layered patterned papers and then added the cluster of photos on top.
