We know that our members love sketches, so this week we are offering you
TWO...one for cards and one for layouts!! The card sketch is from Julie Campbell's Planetarium gallery:
And the layout is from Nicole Samuels' Planetarium gallery:
We invited member Jennie (ajmcgarvey) to choose one of these to
use as a starting point this week, and she couldn't stop at just one!! She wowed us with all 3 of the projects she submitted!!
Using the layout sketch:
Supplies: (Layout)Spencer's and Daily Grind kits; Studio Calico wood veneer; Jillibean
Alphabeans stickers; Dear Lizzy/American Crafts Date Stamper; Silhouette SD
(Card)
Supplies: Spencer's and Daily Grind
kits; Studio Calico wood veneer; Studio Calico printable label; Chic Tags birthday tag
Layout:
I was very excited to see the sketch with the scattered hearts up the
side, as it's always fun to have a repeating element. I stayed pretty
close to the original sketch in terms of design, but I did change it up a
bit. I used some new photos
of my sons that I was excited to scrap and layered them with various
papers from the Spencer's kit. I also added a stamped strip along the
bottom of the photos. Instead of hearts, I went with speech bubbles
with the love theme, it fit my layout perfectly.
Card: I knew the sketch designed for a page would translate well to
a card. I wanted to switch it up a bit and I thought a tag and arrows
would really feel festive yet keep the card very simple and uncluttered.
And using the Card Sketch:
Supplies: Spencer's and Daily Grind
kits;
Studio Calico wood veneer; Studio Calico printable label; Studio Calico
stamp; Versamark Ink; seam binding ribbon; Silhouette SD
I
love to work with stars so I was excited to get to scatter some of my
favorite Studio Calico wood veneer pieces with the larger die cut. This
card sketch was simple enough to still have a clean feel but also leave
a little
room for interpretation. I thought it would be more interesting to
layer it a bit so I added a printable Studio Calico label for more
layers and interest.
Lots of ideas and bright colors on Jennie's projects! Her clean style is one that always seems to pop out to me...thank you so much for joining us this
week, Tina!! You can see more inspiration from her in
her SC Gallery, and on
her blog.
How will YOU use this sketch? Whether it's a layout, a card or
something else, link us up to your project by May 6th for a chance
to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico shop. (Please remember, your
project must be loaded into our gallery to qualify...and your comment
has to link back to it in the SC Gallery)
great layout and cards, jennie!!!
