Puppy Love- Studio Calico 1.20.13 Sunday Sketch

January 30, 2013

This is exactly my kind of sketch!

0120layout

–1.20.13 Sunday Sketch–

Oh, the structure. The grid. The alignment. It all makes me happy! So very happy!!!! I just love all of those things. I love how it all works together and feels connected. I bet I will be keeping this sketch around to refer back to every now and then.

I made some changes to the sketch since I didn’t have 6 photos for the layout so I shuffled things around and put the title in the area where a photo normally would have gone and then some embellishments in another. I didn’t put the title on a pattened paper block because I had the woodgrain alphas that I really wanted to use, since they matched the tone of the patterned papers I was using.

Tattoo 3 LO- Studio Calico 1/9 Sunday Sketch

March 3, 2011



The whole point of a Sunday Sketch from the Studio Calico blog is that is inspires you to be creative. The sketch is to get your juices flowing and get to work. I used the structure and organization of the sketch to assemble my layout. The photos are where the journaling is in the sketch, and the photo and the color block is now the journaling and the photo below it. But if you take a look the essence of the page is still there. 

I’m kinda in love with tags again. I finished up my pack with these 3 that I used for journaling. I have them on my list of “must haves” again. Not high on my list is textured paper, which stickers, in this case alpha stickers, don’t stick well to.

Sketchbook 2: Day 7

February 18, 2011

It’s funny how so many things change in a year. This photo was taken for my 25 birthday- 1/10. Last year, if you would have told me what would be happening between now and then I would have thought you were crazy. But it seems that life is in fact crazy so you have to constantly roll with it.

Last summer I took a scrapbooking layout class from Kelly Purkey. I have posted my previous layouts (1-6) but I’m just getting around to finishing up the rest of the class now. Well, this layout has been completed for a while but I’m just getting around to posting it now.

I loved the sketch from day 7 because it was so simple. I liked the verticality of the page. Granted it could be rotated for a horizontal layout, but I liked it vertically. I also really liked how everything came to one this one line. I played around with mirroring the pictures along the line, having the large picture-less areas opposite each other. I made the title by cutting out numbers with my Cricut, lightly adhering them, spraying the paper with a glittery mist, and then removing the numbers later.

You can purchase the class sketches on Kelly’s blog.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave me a comment to provide some feedback. I appreciate all the comments I receive.
