I love sketches, I think the majority of my pages start with a sketch. It may not look like the sketch when I'm done but I find them to be such a great starting point. One of my favorite sketch sites is My Scraps and More Sketches blog. They put out two sketches a month along with great inspiration from their design team. Here is their first sketch for June, sketch #107:
And here is my interpretation:
(Items used: Simple Stories PP, enamel dots, cardstock stickers; American Crafts PP, Thickers)
I stuck pretty much to the sketch for this one. I combined this sketch with the My Scraps and More 6/17 challenge to use the word "Summer" in my layout. I have so many summer pictures (and so much summer paper) I had plenty to choose from.
Check out My Scraps and More Sketches blog for lots of great sketches and inspiration!
I actually got some scrapping done about a week ago, hard to find time with summer being so busy/fun/crazy. The pages were for challenges at my favorite scrappy site, My Scraps and More.
This layout was for the Got Talent Challenge #1 going on right now. The challenge was to use a song title or lyrics on our page. I used the song "This is Halloween" from the great movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
This page was for one of their regular monthly challenges to use the word dude or dudette on our page. I love this picture of my son from when he was probably 4 years old, he loved that shirt!
Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to hopefully scrap some more. :)
