Scrapbooking Global July - Scrapbook Sketch

Welcome to our Scrapbooking global July Blog Hop. This month we have a sketch challenge that we put forward to the group - would you like to join us? We have 24 Scrapbooking Global members hopping for the first time. We have a Facebook group and will be doing a monthly Blog Hop plus a monthly Challenge - that's 2 pages a month guaranteed!

If you have joined me from Delys Blog welcome - you have arrived 'across the ditch' from New Zealand to Australia. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has done with the sketch.

So lets Hop to it!

 

I deliberated over this page heaps as it is very similar to the page I did last month. I worked backwards as far as I was concerned as usually I start with my photos then plan around them but that was not the case this time.

Step 1 was the sketch

Step 2 was to find a word that would be great for my 'Title'

Then I found some photos to go with what I had decide my Title was going to be!

Step 4 pick a paper range to suit - bonus I had the co-ordinating stamp set.

And Ta Da!

 

 

 

My Miss Eilish got her P Plates in January - over 120hrs learners experience done (well that was completed last November but we can't rush these things now), she was as nervous as hell but she passed first go. Proud Parenting moment when she came home with those red plates. It has been life changing here - I get to stay home an extra 2 nights a week now instead of doing the 'Dance Run' 4 nights!

 

I cut 1 inch off 2 sides of my 12x12 Whisper White piece, and 3/4" off my Blueberry Bushel patterned side piece of DSP to frame my White background then mounted it on the full piece of Grey Granite DSP. My squares are actually 2 3/4' and my middle strip piece is 6 x 2 3/4" size. The photos are not mounted and although its hard to see the top photo is actually sitting up on dimensionals.

 

  

 

I tweaked the sketch a little, but that's encouraged - right? I added a second photo instead of a journaling square. I love the little car in the En Route stamp set so its embossed and made into a little embellishment.
