I had so much fun with this Sunday Sketch and hope you will too! I don’t work off of sketches often, but this made me realize I should use them more!
The sketch is based on this awesome layout by Tina from the Singin’ in the Rain Gallery:
I took the sketch pretty literally, just not using as many squares as Tina. I loved the opportunity to use so many of my favorite SC supplies in a not-so-big space.
Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill), Elementary Star Woodgrain Rub Ons (Studio Calico), State Fair Wood Veneer Alphabet (Studio Calico), Countryside Woodgrain Butterfly Rub Ons (Studio Calico), Countryside Blue Labels (Studio Calico), State Fair Yellow Labels (Studio Calico), Woodgrain Fabrips (Studio Calico)
My page is going to serve as the last page of the “Summer 2010” portion of my son Charlie’s scrapbook, so I didn’t feel like I needed journaling since I journaled on most of my layouts that were about that summer. I kept my title simple and typewritten (“summer snapshots”).
I think this sketch is so versatile – you can use it as an introductory or closing page for a specific scrapbook or you could use it to highlight a few pictures from one particular event.
Now is your chance to show how you can use it! Post a comment with a link to your layout by April 24 based on the sketch and two winners will each win a $5 gift certificate to Studio Calico.
Beautiful take on the sketch!! I love how you literally copied the sketch, but totally made it your own Laura! It's so very you and I love it!
