Hey crafty friends! I’m back with a new layout using the February sketch over at Sketch~N~Scrap. Their sketches have been right up my alley the last two months, and I’m happy to be getting some pages accomplished. This month I chose to use the sketch and create my Am I There Yet Boy scrapbook layout. Let’s take a look first at the sketch
I loved how clean this one was. I know that sketches are just a starting point, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed when there is to much going on in a sketch. I also knew right away which photos I wanted to use. Our son turned ten this year and I took some photos of him compared to his father. While I should have thought to do this every year since he was born….I thought it would be interesting to start now and see if/when he surpasses good old Dad.
I used a rather old collection from Simple Stories. They released this mini kit called Hey Pop in 2014. I have used it before, but since my goal this year is to use more than I buy it was a perfect place to start. When I was done I had no full 12×12 sheets of paper left, and only two colors of paper so I called this kit killed.
I also managed to create a video showing my process while making this. I have some creation questions so I’d love if you popped over and let me know your thoughts on those. I”m starting a new paper pad/collection challenge so I hope to be getting lots finished shortly. I love getting my photos documented, and my paper collections used. Until next time…stay crafty!
This is such a great layout, Lyne! What a fun thing to document. Way to go on using up an old kit and I will be checking out your video soon! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Sketch N Scrap!
Thank you so much for checking out both my layout and video Lori – your thoughts are always appreciated!
What a great take on the sketch! Love that gear patterned paper and strips! Thanks so much for your entry at Sketch N Scrap! 🙂
Your background is perfect for a masculine layout! Thanks for joining us at Sketch N Scrap.
Thank you so much Chris! I really loved the gear paper. Hubby is a mechanic so it’s always appropriate for a layout he’s on 🙂
First off, thanks for playing along with us @ Sketch N Scrap this month. Secondly, I can’t tell you how much I love this layout! I absolutely love it! I’m alway looking for inspiration with those “masculine” pages, and this one is calling out to me . . .so thank you for that!! Great take on the sketch too!
Oh my gosh Tammy – what a lovely compliment! If you end up using it as inspiration send me a link so I can check out what you created!
