Smile | Sketchbook365 March Challenge

Yesterday a new sketch challenge went live over at Sketchbook365, Scrap365’s challenge blog. This month’s sketch was really up my alley, with the many layers, the white space, and the overall design.

Here’s my layout. The picture was taken on a picnic last summer. I went for an almost completely monochromatic design. It’s really an ‘old meets new’ kind of layout, the kind that is my favorite.

I kept the polaroid element, but didn’t add my picture to it. Instead I stamped the polaroid frame from myStamp BOX’ Pixel Perfect set with white StazOn ink onto a piece of vellum. I placed the floral patterned paper from Studio Calico’s Darling Dear behind it and layered it behind my photo.

The title is die-cut with my Silhouette, I found it in the Silhouette online store. It has taken me a bit, but now I’m really on a roll with my Cameo. The small label above the title was also a Silhouette cut by the way.

Behind the picture are a number of layers build with tags and die-cuts. A mix of older and new elements. Layouts where I get to mix up elements from different manufacturers and different collections, from different ‘birth’ years are usually my favorite. I like the fun and the challenge of trying to match it all together.

If you have a chance to play along, that would be awesome. Check out the details of the challenge here. Take some time to check out the inspiration from the other designer as well while you’re there.

Thanks for stopping by!
