Sketchy Thursday

For today's edition of "Sketchy Thursday" I asked some of our design team members to create a project based on this fabulous sketch by Becky Fleck.

Design team member Laura Vegas created this beautiful layout all about her daughter Alyssa.  Here's what Laura had to say ... "I love working with sketches! I love that they guide me on the basic page design, so that I can use my creative juices for choosing products and trying fun techniques. When I work with sketches, I tend to follow the design exactly as it's shown. I did adjust my photo sizes a bit, since I was cropping regular 4x6 prints and couldn't go much smaller on a few. For my background paper, I wanted to use the darker grey dot pattern paper, but I only had half a sheet to work with. I simply cut 4 strips that were 1.5 inches wide, and then adhered them around the outside edges of an extra piece of white cardstock. Then I built the rest of my layout on that white cardstock as well, so that it still looks like the dark grey paper is my background paper. A great tip for using up paper scraps."

Design team member Kim Kesti flipped the sketch to make it work with these vintage photos of her parents.  Here's what Kim had to say ... "I just love working with sketches (and Becky’s are my favorite). For this sketch, I wanted to scrap an 8 ½ X 11 so I rotated the sketch 90 degrees. I still used three photos and it’s not a bit crowded. Love that. The New Arrival Girl works surprisingly well for a “Young Love” layout. Love that, too!”

Design team member Samantha Sibbet shows how versatile this sketch is by using it on a card instead of a layout.  Here's what Samantha had to say ... "I thought this great sketch would work well for a smaller lay out or even a card. The combination of a sketch and the sweet New Arrival embellishments made this a fun card  to put together."
