Summer photos are always my favorite to scrapbook. The natural light, the outdoors, my kids having fun, our favorite places…. Even when its too cold to swim there’s always lots to do at the lake. I created this layout for this week’s sketch layout challenge. It’s a great sketch designed by Lesley Langdon and I know you’ll enjoy it. Play along with the challenge here. Lesley and Alli have create some gorgeous samples of this layout so be sure to check them out as well.
My design uses lots of patterned paper but if you look close…you’ll find a lot of stamping to customize the embellishments.
Enjoy. Explore.
Quick Tip: Make your own custom clear embellishments by stamping on CHF Clear Card Sheets and then die-cutting shapes. I used this idea to create my circle layer to add interest, follow the sketch but not cover up the paper beneath it.
To help make this layout pop…I pulled the hint of red from the patterned paper. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have red in your photos…the blues and greens of the photo match the dotted paper and help tie it all together.
Have a fabulous day! Check back in tomorrow for a fun Ways to Use it Challenge that will make you think outside the box.
