Simple Stories & Sketches Part 2

Here is my second layout from my July post on the  Papermaze blog - using Simple Stories - Bloom & Grow collection again. The post also looks at the use of sketches. Please see the blog for more details.

For this layout I used a sketch from SBC (471)

Below you will see the sketch, I used one photo instead of the three. I used white Bazzill cardstock, trimmed down and mounted onto Navy Dot / Red Dot. I stitched the paper strip cut from Puddle Jumper paper before attaching the bubbly sticker strip from the Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers sheet. The title is created with the Expressions Cardstock Sticker sheet and some American Craft Chipboard Thickers.

I hope you found these interesting and enjoyed the sketches and layouts. I will be back later in the month with more sketches for inspiration. In the mean time take a look at some of the sketches available by following the links at the top of the post on the Papermaze blog and have a go!

Simple Stories & Sketches Part 1

Friday was the first of my July posts on the Papermaze blog - I have been using the delightful Simple Stories - Bloom & Grow collection.  My post also considers the use of sketches as a source of inspiration. Please see the blog for more details.

Here is my first layout using a sketch from Page Maps (March 2016)

As you can see from the sketch below, I have remained fairly true to the plan this time, with only a few of my own little twists. I used the stitching but added flowers where hearts were indicated. I used the patterned papers to create blocks of colour in a similar pattern to the sketch. Instead of two small photos, I used one much larger one and I changed the position of my title.

I used the following from the Bloom & Grow Collection - The base is Bee Happy, for the blocks I used both sides of Green Dot / Yellow Dot, both sides of Let it Grow, Puddle Jumper and various bits from 4x4 and 6x4 Vertical Elements Sheet. I also added some elements from the Bits & Pieces pack, the Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers sheet and some Enamel Dots. Finally I added some American Craft Foam Thickers for part of the title.

Back soon with my second layout using a sketch from SBC (Scrapbook challenges).
Take a look at the Papermaze blog too.
