Sketch Challenge for Two Scrapbook Friends

Happy Wednesday!! For this week's sketch challenge I thought I would give you a little “end of the summer” inspiration but of course you can use the sketch for whatever theme you like!

I designed a simple sketch and you can add up lots of neat embellishments.

 

 

And here is my layout...



 

 

So what do you think?
I hope you will play along on our forum and show me your take on the sketch!

Be sure to check out Two Scrapbook Friends Forum and gallery to see our scrappers' creations.

 

Happy Scrappy!

Friendzy Friday for Two Scrapbook Friends

Good Morning, today is my turn to do a Friendzy Friday for Two Scrapbook Friends.  When I did my Design Team project; a circular chipboard album by Echo Park last month.  I wanted to show you how to place insert photos in the album.

The Echo Park Circular Chipboard Album comes with three chipboard pages with interactive pull out tabs; two metal jump rings.

First of all, check out my DT project on my blog post dated on July 23...  and find out how I did with the oval template.   Once you have the template ready, place in the oval template where the tab is located.   Then draw lines at the top and bottom edge of interactive pull out tab.

Place the template at the edge of photo. See the close up below.

Using the photo pencil to trace the template and cut out the picture

Be sure to add wet adhesive on the interative pull out tab (not on the back of photo)

Slide the photo under the insert circular first, then push back to fit the curve tab.

Happy Scrappy!

Hey Mom, Privacy Please!

I know, I know that I may be a bad mom, but I couldn't resist the facial expression of my DS when I took some pictures.    No question, I had to scrap!

I thought this sketch #220 of Creative Scrapper would be perfect for these photos.  I used two photos instead of one.   I also wanted to do challenge of Amanda's over at Two Scrapbook Friends.  When growing up, my mom always said to me, gray clothing can go with any colour and even today, I taught my boys, if you don't find any colour that go with your pants, grab a gray shirt.  


Creative Scrapper's Sketch #220

I love that they .....

are dimensional,

For this challenge, I want to see you using Thickers on your layout.
