October Mojo Sketch

Good Morning :)

I am back today with with this month's Mojo Sketch inspiration.

This months sketch features a standard 4 x 6" photo and pennant flags.

And this is my sketch inspired layout :)

I have used the True Friends Page kit available HERE which includes papers from My Minds Eye, chipboard arrows and Days of the week labels.

I wanted to convey the fact this group of friends are friends everyday so they days of the week labels were perfect :)

The chipboard arrows were coloured with Versamagic ink pads which were a perfect match to the gorgeous papers.

The title was die cut from blue Bazzil cardstock, the dies are from Die-Versions. 

The photo was taken at the UK Scrappers Green Buttons Retreat 2 years ago, this was the first time I'd met these lovely ladies after being online  friends for a few years. It was a wonderful weekend and I have since been back twice more!

Please feel free to save or pin the sketch and layout :)

Have a lovely day

June Mojo Sketch

Hello :)

This months mojo sketch is simply sweet, the clean lines could be messed up with paint and stamping if that's your style or keep the sketch as it is for a quick and effective layout.

So here is the June sketch :)

Lots of clean white space or fill it up with your favourite patterns and techniques, whatever suits your style of scrapbooking.

I used the sketch to make the inspiration layout for the Simone Page kit.

The kit includes 3 gorgeous Bo Bunny Primrose papers along with some matching Primrose embellishments.

The central photo cluster is the focus of the layout.

Simple and elegant embellishments teamed with the clean cut pattern papers emphasize the lovely portrait photo.

The edge section made use of the pretty border along the edge of the Joy paper.

The Bliss paper is just a mass of gorgeous butterflies crying out for some fussy cutting!

A single rose die cut from the Primrose collection is tucked under the bottom right corner of the photo.

With added Stickles this twinkles prettily.

The flat back gems and even more twinkle. These I added individually creating my own pattern as I went along.

The final element is the cluster of pennant flags at the bottom right of the layout adding just enough balance and drawing the eye to the central photo cluster.

Just love that vintage style brad!

So an elegant, clean layout completed :)

Next challenge is to use the sketch for a mixed media style layout!

Feel free to pin the sketch to your Pinterest board and if you would like to share your layouts leave me a comment with a link and I'll pop by :)

Have Fun!

With Love sketch card

Good morning :)

I am sharing my DT card for the C4E recipe challenge today.

This weeks challenge is to use the sketch above.

Although the sketch would work for lots of different projects I made a card, I have a lot of events over the next few months that require cards and need to build up my stash.

The DP's are from Fancy Pants Designs Country Boutique collection (6x6 pad)

Beautiful papers!

I kept the design fairly simple using some paper roses (Wild Orchid), cheesecloth, hessian, thread, a mini wood veneer heart (Studio Calico), punched leaves (Martha Stewart), wire curls and flat back gems.

I finished the card off with a simple sentiment so that the card could be used for several events.

If you would like to join us this week hop over HERE to leave your link.

Please feel free to pin the sketch to use later :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

June's Mojo Sketch

 Good morning :)

Need a little inspiration this month? Try this months Mojo sketch to kick start your creativity.

 There is lots happening in this sketch, lots of layers, scalloped strips and lots of space for big bold titles.

The story behind this photo is that my mum and aunt joked many years ago that they would ensure that I got married even if they had to "help" me get there lol! When we got married I asked the photographer to stage this photo for us, we were not supposed to be smiling lol!

The layout was made using the may crop kit which is available in the C4E Store now :)

Leave a link to your layout if you use this month's sketch!

Have Fun!

Michele :)
