Sketch Week | Two Page Layout

Hello and happy Friday! Sketch week continues. It's me, Valerie, here with one last take on the sketch. This time it's a two-page layout using mostly My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste collection. How do you take a single page sketch and turn it into a two-page layout? It's simple really—I just did a little stretching. I have a hard time following sketches exactly anyway, but I think you can see how I was definitely inspired by the sketch.

 

Supplies:  Cut & Paste Collection— Charm and Presh 6x6 paper pads, Presh "Right Now" 4x6 journal card, Charm "Hey You" stamp set, Charm "Hey You" decorative buttons, Charm "Sweet" bits & pieces layered stickers, Charm "Carefree" chipboard stickers, Charm "Smile" enamel dots. Collectable—Unforgettable "You Are" tiny word stickers. Sweetest Thing—Bluebell "Smile" enamel dots. Other— cardstock (American Crafts), date stamp, tiny attacher (Tim Holtz), Thickers (American Crafts), chalk ink (Prima), pen (Copic), and thread.

 

Like the sketch, my title is almost completely surrounded by photos and other elements. I also did some scattered journaling as seen in the sketch too. Unlike the sketch, my layout feels a little messier and has less white space around the edge.

 

I LOVE the Charm "Sweet" Bits & Pieces layered sticker pack and decided those clouds and flowers were worth breaking away from the sketch a little bit if I got to use them. It was a beautiful day for a combine ride, and I wanted the layout to reflect that. I also love how the Cut & Paste 6x6 paper pads have a mini version of the Project Life style cards. The smaller size is so much fun!

 

 

And here's the sketch again for comparison. It was so much fun to follow along this week and see how each of us used the sketch differently! How will you use the sketch?

 

This week was a BLAST for all of us at MME. We hope you will join in and enter a project in the November Sketch Challenge!!!
