Sketch N Scrap Challenge #29

Is it really the middle of March already? Time flies when you're having fun! Speaking of fun, check out the newest sketch from Sketch N Scrap! I had fun playing with this one, make sure to you head on over to the site to upload your layout!

 I took these photos almost a year ago. My son was sick with a high fever that refused to go away. We were out of town, on a weekend, in the middle of the night... Of course. Why would children think to get sick at any other time, right? Anyway, after the we drove 20 minutes to the hospital and went through the doors, his temperature disappeared. Just like that. During our visit there, the only thing that he was worried about was running out of cookies.

 The papers I chose for this layout are from Basic Grey. I needed a solid sheet, but stark white was a little too much, so I misted it with some Tattered Angels spray and the distressed look matched perfectly with the patterned papers. For the title piece I again laid it out in Illustrator then cut it with my CriCut.

I added a little journaling spot to the layout as well. When making up the strip across the middle I layered 3 papers. The green is the main color, the grey I ripped for a distressed look and then I added a little strip of red to tie in the title color.

Items I used in this layout:

Basic Grey • Wander • Tarmac
Basic Grey • Little Black Dress • Tuxedo
Basic Grey • Indie Bloom • Polyvore
Basic Grey • Oliver • Office Tabs
Basic Grey • Oliver • Chip Stickers
Tattered Angels • Glimmer Mist • Black Magic
Ranger • Distress Ink • Pumice Stone

Sketch N Scrap Challenge #28

Is is Spring yet? Almost right? Well here's a little something to keep you busy if you're still stuck in the cold. Another sketch brought to you by Sketch N Scrap. Don't forget to head over to the site and upload your take on this great sketch!

 For my layout I chose 3 photos of my daughter when she was having a bad day. Her pouts are simply adorable, sometimes... Check out the list of products I used in this layout, I managed to mix 7 different companies in this layout.

 

  I drew up the title piece in Illustrator and cut it out with my cri cut. I seem to do that a lot, I can never find the right alphas or title card and this works pretty slick for me.

I layered the journal spot with another rectangle to add color and a doily for frills.

Items I used in this layout:

Basic Grey • Indie Bloom • El Camino

Basic Grey • Hello Luscious • Inviting

Basic Grey • Olivia • Office Tabs

Echo Park • Life is Good • Grandma's Quilt

My Minds Eye • Stella Rose • Gertie You & Me

Crate Paper • Emmas Shoppe Collection • Accent Cuts

Crate Paper • Mai Collection • Water Lilies

Dear Lizzy • Neapolitan • Cheerful Notes
