Sketch Challenge ~ Jo West

Sorry to bring you this Friday's challenge so late in the week ... here it is Sunday afternoon, and I am just now able to post it ... I had a friend come over to look at my computer as it would not recognize my camera to download the pics ... turns out it was (and still is) a corrupted camera card ... who would a thought ...

Anyways, back to the main story ... We have this wonderful multi picture sketch  to work with this week ...

and here is my interpretation of the sketch ...

The interesting thing about sketches is that they can be used as a jumping off point ... you never have to follow them verbatim ... I made several changes ... I overlapped the pictures and didn't leave the "whitespace" with the flower on it as shown in the sketch ... I added numerous embellishments, placed my title where the journalling was supposed to go and I cut down the size of the patterned paper that covered the left 1/2 of the layout.

I actually found this sketch quite fun to play with and i would used it again ... and I am usually a one photo on page type scrapper ... so go ahead, do give this one a try!

Wowzers, don'cha just love Erica & Karen's take on this weeks sketch!!! Both of these designers took an interesting approach, customizing their layouts to their photos.

I took a fairly straight forward approach on this sketch ... i cut the main picture about 1/4 of an in narrower than shown in the sketch and i framed the 3 small pictures ... other than that it's almost the same as the sketch. I cut tree's from the patterned paper to make my own embellishments, coating them with glossy accents, a bit of glitter and popping them up on the layout. This sketch is real easy to use and another great way to get 4 pictures on a page ... I hope you are inspired to try it!

Supplies used: Hamby overlay,BG & Kaisercraft patterned paper, BG paper tape & Websters Pages letter stickers.

Its Friday and that means a new challenge :)  This week we were challenged to use a sketch as inspiration for a layout.

This is the sketch (Pagemaps July 09).  I altered the sketch a bit to suit my pictures.  I moved the row of small photos to the side of the main photos and increased their size a bit.  Then moved the title and journalling over to the right a bit.   The butterflies on the sketch I changed to circles and buttons to match the patterned paper better.  The rest is basically the same.   Here is my take on the sketch.

 

Supplies : Basic Grey Origins, AC Thickers, Rangers Glossy Accents, buttons,ink

Notebook Edge Punch

These are some pics of some bears we saw along the roadside up near Whistler. 

Hope this sketch inspires you to be creative this week.
