Just Add Ink - 241

Like I do on most Friday mornings before I even get out of bed, I grab my phone and jump online to check out the latest challenge released on the Just Add Ink challenge blog..

 

Today #241-  they have a sketch.. It's actually quite a CNS sketch focused a bit more to suit a card than a layout, but the moment I saw it I knew I wanted to have a go with it..

 

 

 

I used a precious photo of my cousins little girl Brooke to feature on this layout..

 

 

 

As you can see, I was able to keep all the essence that is what makes this layout to the challenge sketch..

The base, the three vertical blocks, the horizontal block and the sentiment is in the right place also..  

I have however added some embellishments of my own to turn this beautiful simple sketch into something that suits the scale and requirements of a layout..

 

 

 

 

I'm actually very keen to create a card or two with this sketch too..
So when I get around to it, I'll add here to the bottom of this post.. So please do come and check back later for them!! Thanks, Toni..



Scrapbook Fantasies - week 46

I've been a bit hit and miss this year it seems with the challenges over at the Scrapbook Fantasies blog.. Even though I love the challenges and so much want to get some thing created, for some reason I just don't get around to it..

Anyway, thankfully this week I have! Even though it took me a few different bases to get something that I actually liked.. :)

Above is the completed layout.. I am totally in love with how it eventually turned out..

The challenge is to use PAISLEY on the layout.. As you can see, I have used a Paisley stamp..

Below are some close ups of this layout..

 

 

Now are some photos of the bases that didn't quite work and flow with my different visions.. lol..
