Sketch Wednesday / 15 Feb ’12

I was slightly at a loss as to what to do for a moment when I saw this week’s sketch because it had more photos than I would normally include in a layout.

I guess my style has evolved since I first started scrapping because I used to do multi-photo layouts more often. Nowadays, I tend to just have a couple of photos (maybe 4 smaller ones at most) and tuck everything else in a pocket or mini-album.

So this week’s layout was slightly reminiscent of the multi-photo layouts I used to do “back in the day”when I first started scrapping.

But I liked the result and I hope you like it as much as I did (:

Project #11: Universal Studios (Singapore)

Supplies: Bazzill Basics cardstock; Amy Tangerine collection, Lily Bee Memorandum collection; American Crafts Bones thickers; We R Memory Keepers slate baker’s twine; Maya Road large kraft tickets; Made With Love washi tape; Tattered Angels mustard seed, mallard glimmer mist, decadence chalk mist; brad; white pen

I stretched the grid to fill the entire length of the page. And I cropped my photos into circles instead of keeping the lines.

My circle photo mats were hand drawn and were anything but perfect. I just went with it anyhow because scrapping’s good like that. Then I decided to crease the mats just to add a little more dimension.

Of course, we couldn’t forget the baker’s twine and pinwheels, could we? (:

I love how pretty the mist looks on the tag (: And I didn’t even plan on it, haha.

I’m really pleased with how these sketches have pushed me to create beyond my comfort zone so far.

I hope your week’s been smashing! (:
