Sunday Sketch

Hi everyone! Sasha here with your Sunday Sketch for this week :) This one is based on Waleska's Life Amid layout from the Mind The Gap gallery.

I simply adore Waleska's clean and colorful style, not to mention the delightful grid-like design. Here's my take on it :)
Supplies: Teal Cardstock (American Crafts), More White, Rub Ons (Studio Calico) - Cameras Blue; Grey Buttons; Tweets Pink Ledger; Cloud Woodgrain; Cloud Blue Graph; Typeset Grey; Typeset Orange, Patterned Paper (Studio Calico) London Calling, Stamps (Studio Calico) Mini Months and  Heart, Stitched blossoms, Alpha stickers (Sassafrass Lass), Toothpick Flag & Buttons(Pebbles), Brads (Making Memories), Number Stickers (Studio Calico) - Addy Alpha Green, Filmstrip Ribbon & Tiny Attacher(Tim Holtz); Needle, Thread.

I stitched some grid on my cardstock, because I know I will have fun adding little bits here and there. Imitating the sketch, I used five small photos but changed their placings somewhat. I love how the grids contain the 'craziness' but not too rigidly.

Some closer look at my layout:

You can see that I 'color' outside the lines a lot, but that is the fun in using a sketch as a jumpstart for your layout. You get to change it up and have fun! I did! :)

Please link us to your layout using the sketch in the comments on this post by Monday, August 1 and we'll draw two winners for SC gift cards. I hope you play along! :)

Oh wow! Sasha, this layout is GORGEOUS. Like, if I had a "favorite" in my "favorites", it would be this.

Fantastic layout! May I ask, how did you get the stitching so straight and even?

[Jen M]
