Sketchy Thursdays 3.18 Sketch

When I saw the sketch from Sketchy Thursdays this week I was excited to see that it used mist. I just picked up some new glimmer mist last week, so I was ready for a reason to use it!

Here's a look at the sketch.
Here's my take on the sketch.
I decided that it would be interesting to create a non-misted frame around the photos. I cut a piece of paper to the size I wanted the non-misted area to be. Then I stuck the cut paper to the cardstock with a tiny bit of adhesive so that it wouldn't slide around while misting. After spraying the mist, I just gently peeled up the paper and attached my photos and patterned paper.I like the effect of this technique and will probably try to use it again sometime. What do you think?

Thanks for the great sketch!

Most of the supplies for this layout came from the upcoming Scrapbook Circle April kit.

My First Sketchy Thursdays Layout

When I saw the sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays this weekend I knew that I wanted to use it to create a layout.

Here's the cool layout that Diana put together:
Here's my take on the sketch:

*Removed for Publication*

I'll bring the layout back once the idea book is out!

The patterned paper, pops flowers stickers, Elle's Studio labels, flower bling and alpha are all from the Scrapbook Circle January kit.

The semi-circle is the reverse side of the border of the Pink Paislee Reindeer Games paper. It was red on the reverse side, but the blank white side on the reverse made a fun addition to the page.

I also dusted off an old Heidi Swapp flower mask to help create the background along with a little misting.

I really don't ever use sketches when I'm creating layouts, but I really like how this turned out!
