One Month

For this challenge I combined two sketch challenges (again) to create a double layout. I used the Scrap Our Stash sketch:

And for my second page I completed the Stuck?! Sketches challenge:

 

So here is what I came up with...

 

 



 

Here is the first page (Scrap our Stash Challenge)

 

I loved the requirement to add handmade flowers because flowers are some of my favorite things to make right now (ever since I started my daughter's scrapbook).

 

My second page (the Stuck?! challenge) included circles as well so I figured these two sketches would work well together. I added some circles from page one to the other page to tie them together. I also used the large circle from this sketch on my first page. 

 

Here are some close ups :)

 

I enjoy making double layouts that fit together like puzzle pieces :)

 

 

Scrap'n my babies is always bittersweet, this little princess is going to be a year old next month! Wow!

 

 

Baby Mine

I am so excited about my newest layout!

I did a few new things that really turned out well, and I have Sketchabilities and Sketches in Thyme to thank for the inspiration! 

 

These two sketches are so awesome, I loved using them for my inspiration for a double layout.

 

Here is my layout 

 

I took inspiration from the sketches, and also from the lullaby "Baby Mine" ( I especially love the Alison Krauss version, but Dumbo is a classic!).

 

 

The first page is based on the Sketchabilities challenge. I absolutely love this sketch...really I love all of the Karan Gerber sketches, my first challenge was a Scrap Our Stash challenge with a sketch from Karan Gerber and it was my initial inspiration for starting a blog and completing challenges!

The Sketches in Thyme sketch challenge was also awesome. I loved this sketch so much, I like the flow and movement of the sketch and I really wanted to incorporate the 3 dimensional quality it portrayed. 

 

As always...some close ups :)

 

I used ribbon and flowers to create a 3 dimensional element, I was really happy with the outcome.

The flowers were my favorite thing to make for this page. I had such a blast making them for the first time. Usually I am content to create flat stacked flowers, but for this sketch I really wanted something more substantial.

 

 

 

I don't normally make such long titles for my pages but I decided to forgo journaling in order to use this title, which is one of my favorite lines from the song.

 

I got these adorable tiny clips at target a few days ago and knew I wanted to incorporate them into my page! I love the dollar section at target, I find so many fun things for my layouts there!

 

I am also really happy with how easy the sew easy tool makes sewing cool designs on my pages.

 

 

Have you ever made a layout based on a favorite song? I would love to see them! Have a scrap'n good time!
