LET'S SCRAP SKETCH 7-25-12

I have made this layout with 

LET'S SCRAP SKETCH 7-25-12:

I love the monochromatic colour scheme...

any photos will work beautifully with these papers.

I have used the Documented Range from Simple Stories.

This is the sketch:

I have changed the photos sizes to suit the photos that I wanted to use.

I have also moved the chevrons to slightly different positions....

Must say...I love the outcome...

Products used: 

Simple Stories paper, AC cardstock

Quickutz: Disco Font 

Buttons

Kaisercraft: Pearls

This week's sketch over at LET'S SCRAP

SKETCH 6-13-12

...and this is the sketch...

I altered the amount of photos to fit what I wanted to scrap.

And I clustered the photos together instead of having 

them in a loose formation on the layout.

I love the outcome ... as this was such a rainy day in Dublin...

and it made taking pics a mission...LOL...

...herewith a few details...

Products used:

Papers: AC Cardstock, BoBunny Country Garden Collection

Font: Quickutz - Studio Classic

Other dies: Quickutz - tab and leaves

Silhouette: Globe

Other: Pebbles, brads and rhinestones

LET'S SCRAP SKETCH

This is the sketch for the week at Let's Scrap...

I took me a really long time to get the inspiration to make this sketch work...LOL!

BUT when I got the idea to make a page for my daughter with one pic from every year of her life, it all just came together!

My take on the sketch:

...to me this is a work in progress...

I am thinking about adding some stickles or glaze to the wording...

and I am still contemplating how I am going to add either the age or year to each photo..??

Products used:

Paper: BoBunny and Bazzills Cardstock

Dies  {all Quickutz}:

nesting leaves; lace border; blossom fonts {big and small}

Pearls: Kaisercraft

Embellies: MME

Title: Silhouette {more spice than sugar}

Herewith a few close ups:
