My Sketch #3

Hello everyone!!!!    I have another sketch for you.  This time I added measurements for each piece of paper that I placed on the layout.  I chose papers from the MME Cut and Paste papers.  Below is the sketch.

Here is the completed layout.

I chose 3 patterns for this page.  I cut 3 pieces in different sizes for each pattern except for the striped paper which I cut a fourth piece.  Since there was pink flowers in the main paper piece and pink in the pictures, I added pink scalloped circles for contrast.  I added some dots of white dimensional pearls to the body of the yellow monarch butterflies, added the butterflies along with pink flowers, white lace, white pearls, white sparkly heart for my embellishments.  I also added dots around the entire outer edges of the papers with a turquoise blue scripto pen.  Then I drew double black lines around the outer edges of the background paper and placed white dimensional pearls coming out from each corner.  I like to place chipboard behind my pictures to give them depth and then I adhered them to the layout using pop dots which gives even more dimension.  The overall layout was very simple to do.  Once you have your papers cut  it is a matter of placing them around your photos.

Another great layout design to use up scraps.

Until next time

HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!!!

My Sketch #2

Hi everyone!!!  Donna here with another sketch for you as promised.  Okay, to begin with, I decided to sort out my box of scrap patterned papers that I said I was going to do.  This is what I started with.

So I began sorting and making piles based on colours.  I did not worry too much about patterns because you don't know until you start putting the page together just what patterns you will like together.

Here are a couple of piles of papers that I put together.

I decided to use the blue pile.  Below is the free hand sketch that I did for you.

And below this is the start of the layout.

I first placed my doilie down.  You can also cut out a large circle in place of the doilie.  Then I cut the main strip that is over the doilie.  I only adhered the doilie and the top part of the main strip.  Then I began cutting my pieces as shown on the sketch and placed them around the page, without adhering  them down.  This is so I can make changes as I go before the final gluing.  I did add some other pieces as I went along as I found that I wanted some darker pieces to give the layout some depth.  As you can see I used several different patterns.  I added some flowers and vines.  Since there are pink flowers in the dress my granddaughter was wearing, I added some pink flowers to the layout as well.  Because of the different patterns I find that I don't need as much embellishments - I let the layout and picture speak for itself.  Here is the finished layout.

When I look at the picture and see my gardens in the background, I really cannot wait for spring and summer.  I has been a long winter!!

  Until next time

again, HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!!

I'll be talking to you soon.
