One Sketch Two Ways

I hope you enjoyed the series the last few Mondays about how I scrap my big vacations.  Be sure to leave feedback in the comments if you have any questions I can address.

Again with the sketches!  I thought today I might show you how I took one sketch and interpreted it in two different ways.

Sketch:  Lisa Day 28 Days of Sketches


Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

This version is slightly more loyal to the original sketch than the next one is.  I did make quite a few changes though, including the larger photo in the center and the blocks of paper around the edge.  

My photos were very colorful, so I picked some Echo Park paper that picked up the yellow, fuschia, and greens in the costumes.

Glitter letters from Pink Paislee added to the whimsy of the layout.


Supplies: American Crafts Cardstock, Glitter Buttons; Recollections Glitter adhesive back cardstock (Purple); Echo Park Sweet Summertime (Sunny Spots, Flower Garden), Everybody Loves Christmas (Bright Stripes)

Pink Paislee Sweetness glitter sticker alpha; Martha Stewart punch; Divine Twine

Best Christmas Present Ever!

Can you see the similarities to the first layout?  I used photo strips along the sides as an interpretation of the grid pattern in the sketch.  (sorry this one's a little blurry).

The title is in a different location too.  Gosh, I feel like I'm playing that game where you find the differences in two pictures!

An embellishment cluster this time, but the journaling is in a similar location.

Supplies:  Bazzill cardstock; Echo Park Dots and Stripes (Navy Large Dot); Crate Paper Peppermint Collection (Embellish); American Crafts Thickers; Lily Bee letter stickers; Jolee's Boutique felt snowflakes; Martha Stewart doilies; Love, Elsie soft charms (Noel); Elle's Studio (2); Tim Holtz tiny attacher

Finally getting to the vacation photos

As you may recall, I have a massive amount of vacation photos from our trip last fall.  Midst the craziness of moving I was able to come up with a plan of attack and get all of the photos I'll be scrapping printed.  I'll show you in a later post how I'm dealing with the album overall, with around 1000 photos to scrap, but here's the page I started with.  I'm not scrapping the photos in any particular order, but they will go in the book divided by city.

Beautiful Prague

A Blast from the Past

Does anybody remember the World's Fair?  Once upon a time, they were THE premier events in the world, and they only happened every four years.  Back in 1984, New Orleans hosted the World's Fair, and my parents and I traveled the two hours to visit.  I still have vivid memories of the Fair, and how exotic all the booths of the various countries seemed.

I came across a picture of my dad and I at the Fair in a giant stack of photos from my childhood that I have to scrap.

I have no idea what pavilion it was taken in, or what that car is supposed to be.

Christine Middlecamp had inspired me with her layering techniques, and I'm trying to incorporate that more into my pages.

Supplies used:
Basic Grey: patterned paper, sticker numbers; Making Memories: chipboard shapes, Pink Paislee: chipboard letters; Maya Road: chipboard; Elle's Studio: journaling tag; KI Memories: chipboard shape; Tim Holtz: Grungeboard; Bazzill: cardstock; unknown brand: felt sticker shape; brads

Tools used:
Dew Drop VersaMagic ink; Tim Holtz Distress Stickles; Diamond Glaze

Use the Force to Use Your Stash

Ever wonder how to use those themed papers and embellies?  Its a tough one for me too.  So I gathered the Force, with a little inspiration from May Flaum and the Use Your Stash class, I put some of these themed things to use.  Please forgive my cookie decorating skills.  They need a little work.  But they sure did taste good!
