Sunday Sketch

This week's sketch comes from Geralyn Sy's SOCK HOP gallery - and is based on her layout titled "Paper Love."

We were excited to see how Julie (juleshollis) interpreted the sketch for herself, and it looks fabulous!

Supplies: Sock Hop, Poodle Skirt, Penny Loafers

Here is what Julie had to say about this particular sketch:

I love playing with sketches and approach them as recipe for a project. For this sketch, I really wanted to use a favorite picture. The picture that I chose of my husband and son is vertical, so I decided to turn the sketch sideways. I didn't stray too far away from the sketch in terms of design. I used the November kit - Sock Hop with two papers from Penny Loafers (the red hearts) and from Poodle Skirt (the yellow triangles). My favorite way to make little banner pieces is to fold washi tape in half and then snip the end piece at angle. I love how this sketch helped me create lots of layers.

We love that all of Julie's elements draw your attention to the beautiful photo of her family, and the repetition of the 'flags'...what a great idea to use washi tape!

Please check out the rest of Julie's work in her SC Gallery and on her blog.

Great layouts! Love a sketch with layering!! It started much more like the sketch, but I veered off it a good bit...:)

Here's my take. I used 2 smaller photos in place of the one and really like the balance of this. Great design, Geralyn! Thanks for the inspiration SC!
