Sketchy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Sketchy Saturday. Today I am sharing a 12x12 traditional double layout inspired by playing along with a couple challenges. 

Left hand sketch inspiration is from Sketches in Thyme challenge #703 from Rochelle Spears. 

Right hand sketch is inspiration from Stick It Down Scrapbook & Cardmaking April Sketch.  

Getting inky with the sneak peek of the Scenic Coast suite coming May and Splashes of Sparkle DSP, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Timid Tiger inks and paired them with some old favourites in the Unforgettable Times Mix and Match ephemera pack, On Film and Colourful Seasons dies, umbrella builder and scallop tag punch, sunset and brick stencils, silver twine and silver metallic marker.

Love the end result that came together for a fun coordinated double layout from a day at the beach. 

Left hand page showcases several the gorgeous dies and paper in the Scenic Coast suite and the wee camera and Polaroid frame from the On Film dies. Unforgettable title is from the Ephemera pack sponged with a bit of Timid Tiger to blend with the paper.

Right hand page carries over some of the Scenic Coast suite with the seagulls and the Colourful Seasons beach chairs, table and drinks, umbrella builder for the umbrellas and Time Together title is from the ephemera pack sponged with Timid Tiger.

Scrappy Saturday Fun

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday I spent the morning having fun creating a double layout using some sketchy inspiration!

Scrapbooking Global March challenge to use masculine materials with a feminine vibe. 

Sketches in Thyme for my left side layout - love the 5 photo layout #701 by Brandi Jo. 

Scrap a Sketch #202 for my right side layout - love the circle photo mat. 

I’m getting inky with some old favourites paired with new goodies. I’ve pulled out my Country Living and Geared Up Garage stamp sets for my masculine element. The Modern Mosaic embossing folder, nesting circles, a label punch and unbranded twine. Paired with the new Capturing Smiles, Painted Illusions DSP from February POM, metallic silver specialty paper, Unforgettable Times Mix and Match ephemera and  coordinating blends to colour with Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling, Smokey Slate and Crumb Cake 

. 

Game together as a lovely double layout to showcase some fun photos from attending a Country Farm fair. 

Some close up views to help show the texture and dimensions in the design combo.

Scrappy Saturday fun

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday. Working a traditional 12x12 layout today. 

Today’s 12x12 layout was inspired by Sketches in Thyme March 8th sketch layout. I have rotated the orientation of the sketch as worked better with my left hand design I was trying to coordinate with. 

I’m getting inky with some old and new favourites. From my retired stash the Beautiful Bunch stamp set and coordinated punches, the Large Letter dies. I have paired with the current Lovely Blossoms DSP and In Color Secret Sea and the Petal Pink from Subtle collection and some Pearl gem coloured with Secret Sea blends marker.

Today’s “Spring” layout is a right side design to go with last week’s “Hello” layout. Has a mat for a large 8x10 photo of the granddaughter exploring the garden or can do a collage of smaller photos. I still haven’t decided. 

Double page design coordinates pretty well I think!
