February 2019 Stretch The Sketch Layout

February 17, 2019

Hey crafty friends!  I’m here today sharing a layout/process video for the February 2019 Stretch The Sketch Layout collaboration.  What is sketch the sketch you may be wondering.  Well, each month a group of ladies take a sketch and makes something other than a 12×12 layout.  Some ladies make art journal pages, double page spreads, traveler’s notebook spreads, 8.5 x 11, etc.  There is no limit as long as it’s not 12×12.

Also, the group of ladies participating each month varies.  Some ladies do every month, and others, like myself, just do it when we are able to fit in it.  The nice thing about the flexibility is that each month there is new/different people so the interpretations are always new and fresh.

This month we are working with this sketch:

Come watch how our group takes a 12x12 scrapbook sketch and makes any other size project in the February 2019 Stretch the Sketch layout series.

I chose to take the sketch and make a 9×12 single page layout with it.  The kit I used was from Felicity Jane, and after much photo debate I went with one of the shots from our daughters 2nd birthday.  Our photographer Laura did such a wonderful job capturing Julia’s personality despite her not watching to sit still for even two seconds.

Please join in watching me create the layout:

If you hop on over to the youtube video you can also find the links to the videos all the other ladies participating this month. I hope you’ll give them all a watch and find some inspiration for your next project.  Until next time….stay crafty!

Family Scrapbook Layout

November 23, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome back to another Scrap Our Stash blend the sketch challenge reveal.  If you’re new to this challenge we take two sketches and pull inspiration from both and then add a twist.  This month our twist was adding banners or pennants.  I completed this challenge with my family scrapbook layout.

Let me start by sharing the challenge sketches so you can see where my inspiration came from:

From the first sketch I used the doily as my inspiration for the large floral cluster coming from the upper left of my photo. I also used the strip idea from the first photo except I put them down the left side instead of right on the photo. From the second sketch I used the square photo shape and single word title. Also, from the second sketch instead of a tag coming from the right side I used a single banner and a floral cluster.  If gave the same size feel, but I was able to use what came in the Felicity Jane kit I was using instead of adding other product. You can also see that some of my puffy stickers are pennant shaped to meet that part of the challenge.

The photo is my brother and his beautiful family.  My nephew is six in this photo and my niece was just six months.  It’s hard to believe she turned one already!

I also used the strip idea from the first photo except I put them down the left side instead of right on the photo. From the second sketch I used the square photo shape and single word title.

Hope you enjoy my take and can’t wait to see yours.  As always, if you participate in the challenge or create a layout inspired by mine…please leave me a link down below so that I can come check it out!  I love to see what others are creating.  Until next time…stay crafty!

Long Title Scrapbook Layout

October 9, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  Glad to be back again so quickly.  This time I have a long title scrapbook layout to share with you as part of the Scrap Our Stash Golden Group challenge for October.

For this challenge we were asked to use the movie Sing as inspiration, and to add bling/whinestones to our layout.  This was the first time I had actually seen the movie we were asked to use so that finally clicked, but I don’t have a big stash fo rhinestones so that was my challenge for this project.

As my nod to sing I used a long title which is a lyric from a Kane Brown song.  It’s appropriate for a picture of my hubby and I because I am a worry wart.  I always have a what if for every situation. He is the opposite and always says what if…that doesn’t happen or what if it’s actually good.  I’m so blessed to have that balancing force in my life.

This long title scrapbook layout was created for my husband's 38th birthday using 8.5 x 11 size rather than you standard 12x12.

This kit is from Felicity Jane, and I will tell you it was gorgeous.  If I remember correctly it was the Felicity or Alexis kit.  The puffy stickers were my favorite piece.  I paired the kit with some simple mixed media using the packaging technique.  I did not use gesso prior to the mixed media and since I went light on the water there isn’t much warping thank goodness. I don’t remember where I got the wood flower, but they made a perfect home for a few rhinestones.

I really love how this came out.  The colors are some of my favorite to work with.  How will you interpret the Sing challenge?  Do you use long title?  Make sure to tell me in the comment below.  Until next time..stay crafty!

Messy Girl Scrapbook Layout

February 20, 2018

Hey crafty friends!  I’m back today with a messy girl scrapbook layout.  The story behind is layout was just to cute not to document it.

Upclose detail of scrapbook layout

Each year we go to a county that is about 3.5 hours away and unplug and unwind.  Where we stay has no cell phone service, no internet and very limited television.  We ride ATV’s, fish, have campfire’s, etc.

Our children have always come with us.  Julia was five months the first time she came and Michael was nine months on his first trip.  Last year though Julia was old enough to really start enjoying the activities.

On the day of the photo we had been riding ATV’s and has encountered many mud holes.  Both children were covered from head to two in mud, and neither of them minded a bit.  She was laughing and asking for more, more.

I’m thankful that, for now, she is enjoying the experience.  I can imagine that as she gets older, and more into “girly” things, she may not want to end up all muddy so I wanted to make sure to document this trip.

I started the layout with a sketch from Stuck ? Sketches.  For their February 15th challenge they had to sketches and I used the second one with the circle element, and banner under the photo.  I ended up not using the banner, but my doily is the circle element in the sketch.  I also used the single photo and created strips on the top like the sketch, but also added the same detail to the bottom.

Messy girl scrapbook layout

Killing my Felicity Jane Willow kit with this layout was also a bonus of the project.  I ended up creating seven projects from the kit before I called it done.  I still have the solid colored cardstock left so I added that to the remaining kits that I have from them.  Other layouts I created with the kit are So Big, Young at Heart, 1st Fluff, and one of my all time favorites Dare Heis.

I love how these soft colors gave the photo a feminine feel, but the blues balanced it out and didn’t make it to girly…perfect for the photo.  Thank you for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed the layout and can see how to adapt it for your style.
