Sketch Challenge | Creative Scrappers

Hello Friends!

The Month of March is finally here! For us on the East Coast it means spring is around the corner. I am personally anxious for some blue skies and sunshine! 

Let's start the month off with a new sketch shall we? 

This month we have a sketch that will allow you to use some of those left overs you've been hoarding! Yes... we all have a piece or two laying around just waiting for something --- so let's create a layout with those pieces!

You can use 1 photo that measures 4"x4" and another smaller one 2"x2".
Create different sizes of circles and stars and you have one awesome layout!

I would love to see how you interpret this month's sketch.

February Sketch Challenge | Creative Scrappers

Hello Friends! 

It's February I am back to share another NEW sketch with you! I think it's a good one! It has room for tons of embellishments and maybe even up to 7 different pieces of patterned paper. It is February so a few hearts on this layout would be nice ;) I did add some stitching around a few of the embellishments - this can be done before you adhere your photo and before you add your stickers or chipboard pieces. I added a 4"x4" square photo but of course you can add a 4"x6" - or other size to match your scrapbook style. I hope you enjoy this month's sketch and inspired to add it to your TO DO List for February!

I would love to see how you interpret this month's sketch.

January Sketch | Creative Scrappers

Hello Friends!

It is a new year and it's the perfect time to post a NEW sketch!
With this January Sketch you have the option of creating with a 4"x4" photo or even a 4"x6" if that's something you prefer. I added a few options for patterned papers and maybe you'll try some sewing or stitching for the circles? My journal strips are always a necessity on my pages and of course some enamel dots, paint splats or buttons to embellish the entire page. Feel Free to interpret the Sketch the way that fits your scrapbooking design skills. It's to HAVE FUN and remember "don't over think it"!

I would love to see how you interpret the Sketch.

Hello Lovely | Simple Stories

Hello friends!

I am sharing 2 layouts featuring the Simple Stories Simple Set - Hello Lovely.  I used only the collection kit and some enamel dots for these layouts and I was so easy. I had a precut background all ready for me and I brought this to a crop a few weeks ago. It was easy to pack - Just a kit, some cardstock and adhesive. A great way to create at a crop or a friends house!

This is my first layout - Called "Smile Big"

- As you can see I didn't use a large title for this page, I felt that the 3x4 element card was enough with a sticker on my photo. A nice easy title is something I like on my pages. I really don't like stressing about that too much.

The colors are so nice in this collection - the navy is something i really enjoy with some pinks mixed it. It's really a beautiful kit. I used a Kraft cardstock for my background - something i used less of lately but really love the look. I layered some pieces of patterned paper and of course I used some dimensional adhesive on my die cut stickers. That's a given ;)

A few clusters around the elements card and photo just bring the entire page together.  Here is a sketch I created just for you based on this layout.

My second layout is called - Hello Lovely

- Yes that's me being silly of course. It was taken at an event last March and I was playing with the photo booth props. It's so much fun to dress up and be crazy for a few minutes - This is my version of Hello Lovely. Sometimes you've got to ' let it go! '

I used a digital die cut for the background - created by Paige Evans.
It was so easy to create this page even if it looks complicating. I created this page in a few hours and really loved piecing papers and doing an assortment of flowers on this page.

 

I created journal strips and then added a bit of watercolor on top so you would see the journaling and it wouldn't be hidden under the white cardstock and variety of papers. It could have been colored a blue or peach, but the pink adds more color to my page ;)

You can see the cluster of stickers and also some of the paint splats I created. 

I hope you enjoyed my reveal today and of course we can't wait to see what you create with this collection! Don't forget to tag us on instagram using #SimpleStories and you can come follow me as well at instagram.com/KristineDavidson

Oh What Fun | Simple Stories

I love the vibrant colors in this Simple Stories collection Mistletoe Kisses mixed in with blue and pink. It has a bit of a Christmas Theme but you can also use this as a great winter collection.  I used some snowmen, a few decorated Christmas trees, and hearts focusing on the love for snow!

The first layout I'll be sharing is called "OH What Fun!"

I have had these photos for quite some time and when Mistletoe Kisses came out I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for. These pictures of my niece enjoying the fresh snow fall and sliding.

I selected the blues, and whites as a major focus but added some green to give the page a contrast in color. I love that the green is used as a “pop” up color instead of the main focus.
Of course adding layers, and dimension adhesive is a must for me. I do enjoy the different colors. I added the CHEER alpha stickers but didn’t make that my title. I selected – the small sticker strip with OH What Fun my title. It seemed appropriate.

Here is a sketch I created based on this layout - Feel free to use it for your next layout! You can tag me if you'd like to share @KristineDavidson on instagram ;)

Thank you so much for reading and to see more of my work you can find me on instagram @KristineDavidson
